Another Pharkin’ summer draws to a close

Mike Paulus

Summer’s not quite over yet, but after tonight, the 2010 Sounds Like Summer Concert Series in Phoenix Park (The Phark) will be finished quite soon. It’s been a season of record breaking crowds and Record Breaking Super Fun Times. But as the old saying goes, all good things must end on August 26 until next year’s concert series starts again.

So tonight is your last chance to join family, friends, and neighbors on the grass and big ol’ rocks surrounding the Phark labyrinth to see a fine group of local bands playing their hearts out while the Chippewa River flows through the background and the sun sets in the western sky.*

We like to have Ultra Extra Record Breaking Super Fun Times on the last night of the year, so we’ve lined up the Chippewa Valley’s premier funksters Duncan Ninja – comprised of two suave singers, five hot horns, and a ripe rhythm section.

Joining them are local “tin can folk” practitioners The Heart Pills, crooning some of the most original music in the Valley. And opening the concert with a 6pm pre-show is pop/acoustic band More Amore. See you there!

*You know, unless, like, someone else puts on an evening concert in Phoenix Park before the snow starts to fall.
