Enumclaw’s summertime concert schedule will continue for four more Fridays, offering the type of free outdoor entertainment that debuted in 2019 but was bypassed for health reasons a year ago.
This season’s concert calendar was a rather fluid affair according to Alina Hibbs, the city’s cultural events manager and, as such, the one responsible for putting the concert series together. A pair of special events in town – one last week and the second this week – altered plans.
Friday of last week brought the Fabulous Murphtones to downtown for an all-ages street dance offered in conjunction with the Enumclaw appearance of The Moving Wall. The city took a break last week, as the concert was a product of the Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce.
This week’s Friday night show also has been moved downtown (to the corner of Cole Street and Myrtle Avenue) to connect with a car cruise through town. Set to play is SixGun, beginning at 6 p.m.
The rest of the “Evenings on Railroad” schedule, all planned for Friday evenings at Rotary Centennial Park, looks like this. The music begins at 6:30 p.m. on the grassy lawn at the corner of Griffin Avenue and Railroad Street.
• Aug. 20: Raucous will play the park, offering a night of classic rock. The group appears throughout the Northwest, popular at fairs, festivals, clubs and casinos.
• Aug. 27: The High Note Group will entertain in the park. The four-person band performs original music blended with blues, jazz, soul and funk favorites.
• Sept. 3: The Evenings on Railroad series concludes with a performance by T-Town Aces, a favorite on the Northwest blues scene.
