Better together: music and warm weather

The outdoor music season is in full swing.

And not just at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Wash. It seems we don’t have to go too far to find music for cheap, or even free.

Arbor Crest winery, for example, offers concerts on Thursdays and Sundays. The Thursday shows, which this week features Union Street, are free. Sunday concerts ring it at $5. On the bill this week is Soul Proprietor.

Coeur d’Alene Park in Browne’s Addition will host 6 Foot Swing on Thursday, while Audubon Park in northwest Spokane will host the Spokane Jazz Orchestra that same night. Tonight, Union Street will set up shop at the Park Bench in Manito Park, and on Thursday trumpeter Eric Moe and pianist Susan Asplin will perform in the garden at the Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center.

Over in North Idaho, the Riverstone concert series kicks off Thursday with classic rock ’n’ roll by The Rub. Up in Hayden’s City Park, the Coeur d’Alene Big Band will entertain folks Thursday night, and on Tuesday, Floating Crowbar will play in Sherman Square Park in downtown Coeur d’Alene.
