Norton Commons, the growing new urbanist community in Prospect, announced today its third annual free summer concert series. “Music by the Water” will take place on six dates between June through Sept. Residents and non-residents alike are invited to the idyllic lakefront amphitheater that has regularly attracted as many 2,500+ concert-goers for past events. Each concert bill will feature a different theme, beginning with “Hot Country Nights” on Sat., June 24 at 6:30 p.m., featuring Jimmy Lehoux Band, on tour from New Hampshire, along with Louisville’s own Southern Sirens.

Concert attendees may bring their own food, or purchase food and beverages from local food trucks on site. Parking is available at the Town Center. Concert-goers are encouraged to bring their own chairs or blankets. Sorry, no pets are allowed.

The series continues July 1 with “An American Celebration” featuring Rock Before Dawn and the 36th Infantry Division Brass Band. July 29 is “English Invasion!” featuring Joe D’amato [as Elton John] and The Rigbys [as the Beatles]. Aug. 12 is “Rockin’ the Commons” featuring Melody Resurrection.
