Summer Concerts for 2011

From , former About.com Guide

The outdoor concert season is shaping up for 2011. 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:

Neko Case - July 8

TV on the Radio - July 22

Fleet Foxes - July 24

Willie Nelson & Family - July 29

Adele - August 11

Amos Lee - August 12

Decemberists - August 25 & 26

Ray LaMontagne - September 4

John Prine - September 10

Cake - September 16

Bon Iver - September 24 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).
