Live music starts at 7 p.m. from the front porch of Lakewood Public Library
All good things must come to an end, and LakewoodAlive’s 2018 Front Porch Concert Series is no exception. But it’s bound to conclude on a high note when the talented quintet comprising The Light of Day Band delivers a dynamic performance at 7 p.m. this Friday, September 7.
Sponsored by Bentley Wealth Management of Raymond James, the Front Porch Concert Series features free, live music on the front steps of Lakewood Public Library (15425 Detroit Avenue) in Downtown Lakewood from 7 to 9 p.m. for 12 consecutive Fridays. The series, which aims to foster Lakewood’s vibrancy while providing a family-friendly summer entertainment option, runs through September 7.
Week 12 is presented by lion and blue and features The Light of Day Band, a Cleveland-based funk and R&B group. This band is renowned for its high-energy performances that often induce dancing, making it the perfect choice to culminate the 2018 Front Porch Concert Series.
Led by husband and wife team Brian Bowie and Arlene Peterson, and rounded out by Bernard Bowie, Chris Stennis and Joe Moon, this band is a musical force to be reckoned with, playing songs across a wide range of genres including jazz, R&B, funk, reggae and soul.
Now in its ninth year, LakewoodAlive’s popular Front Porch Concert Series adds vibrancy and an enhanced sense of community to Lakewood’s urban core, drawing several thousand attendees annually. Each week showcases a different style of music while Lakewoodites and visitors enjoy an entertaining evening at an open-air venue. Visit LakewoodAlive.org/FrontPorchConcerts for more information.
