Sounds Exciting Summer Concerts

Kick-Off the Summer Season THIS Week!
The 9th Annual Sounds Exciting! Summer Concert Series will present an eclectic mix of musicians on Wednesday evenings beginning June 25th and going through July 30th at the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Amphitheater at Lakewood's Heritage Center in Belmar Park, 801 S. Yarrow St. Enjoy a casual, family-friendly atmosphere with a variety of musical styles ranging from a tribute to “The King” to hot Salsa.

This year’s featured national acts bring high energy music, rhythm and dance to the stage with Buckets and Tap Shoes; and jazz and pop standards, showcasing Canadian vocal sensation Sophie Milman.

In her mid-20s, Sophie Milman’s 2004 self-titled debut has sold almost 100,000 copies worldwide, hit the Billboard Top 5 in Canada and the Top 15 in the United States, and topped the iTunes jazz charts in five different territories.
 
A highlight of the 2008 concerts, Buckets and Tap Shoes -- a unique company of musicians, percussionists and rhythm tap dancers -- has astounded audiences, creating intense driving rhythms with 5-gallon buckets, metal cans, barrels, found objects and tap shoes.
