Join jazz, blues, and gospel icon Kim Massie on Sunday June 28, as she kicks off the seventh season of free summer concerts in Ivory Perry Park. July 26 will bring “Public Entertainer Number One” Ralph Butler and the Ralph Butler Band. R&B diva Coco Soul will conclude the series on Sunday August 23. Ivory Perry Park, formerly Visitation Park, is located at 800 Belt Avenue. Off of Delmar, turn north on Belt Avenue at Connect Care Hospital. (Belt Avenue is one stoplight east of DeBaliviere or one light west of Union.) Grab your lawn chair, blanket, food and head over to Ivory Perry Park the 4th Sunday of each summer month to hear wonderful talent on the Commerce Bank Stage. Food and beverages will be available for purchase as well.
Each concert will feature special activities for children and families, prize raffles, and a variety of excellent food and beverage options for purchase. Thanks to the efforts of many community and school groups, local businesses and churches, and St. Louis City officials, these free concerts will be a great place to hear wonderful St. Louis talent this summer. Special thanks to the Whitaker Foundation for their generous support, as well as Commerce Bank. For more information, call Archilla Buford at 314-3627-2112.
