Grove
concerts back at the beach
By Miguel Lopez
Summer On-line Forty-Niner
The variety of
swing, R&B and oldies music is scheduled to rock the Soroptimist
House terrace for the 26th summer starting July 13.
The Cal State Long Beach Alumni Association has been keeping
busy over the normally slow summer in preparing for its fundraiser
concert, the Concerts in the Grove series. The association
leads many campus events including Homecoming, Kaleidoscope
and with graduation.
“Most of the concerts have sold out in the past, and the first
concert for this year is already sold out,” said association
director, Gay Arakawa. “This is the 26th time we had a concert
and they keep on getting better”
Scheduled to play the four-part concert series are bands that
are diverse in sound, but alike in quality. Returning for
a sixth concert are cover-band Tommy Tassi and the Authentics
is scheduled to open the summer concerts July 13. Eight-piece
big band Flattop Tom and his Jump Cats will play July 20.
Also making a return to the beach on August 10 is Classic
rock band Murfy’s Law. R&B and Blues band, Floyd and his
FlyBoys will conclude the concert series on August 17.
“Last year I went to one of the concerts and I had a lot of
fun,” said CSULB student Jessica Vivian. “I plan to go again
this summer to a least one more show.”
Along with the good music the audience can bring their own
food and beverages for their enjoyment before the concert.
Raffle drawings for donated gifts will also be part of the
concert festivities. For ticket information or questions the
Alumni Association can be contacted at (562) 985-5488.
