Summer Concerts for 2009

By , About.com Guide

The outdoor concert season is shaping up for 2009. The "Concerts on the Lawn" series started a couple of years ago and keeps getting better and better. The shows are pretty laid-back, and the beer is, of course, plentiful.

McMenamins Edgefield will hold the following shows this year:

Steve Miller Band, Sunday, July 12

Death Cab For Cutie, Friday, July 17

The Decemberists, Saturday & Sunday, July 18-19

Sugarland, Friday, July 31

The Fray, Tuesday, August 4

Al Green, Friday, August 28

Chris Isaak, Wednesday, September 2

Bonnie Raitt & Taj Mahal, Thursday, September 3

Gipsy Kings, Sunday, September 6

Crosby, Stills & Nash, Wednesday, September 12

Heart Friday, September 25 Get your tickets through Ticketmaster or the the Crystal Ballroom box office, which is usually cheaper because there are fewer service charges (check hours before you go--it's not always open).
