FAQ
Should I bring my own chair?
You bet. And we recommend the low-to-the-ground kind. Come relax, and enjoy a beautiful evening under the stars.
Are the concerts on Saturday?
Nope. Friday. Always Friday. The first Friday of every month from May through October 2011.
How much do the concerts cost?
For you, my friend, FREE.
I have a band. We’re really good, and we want to play at the Rooftop Concert Series. Can we?
We’re flattered you want to be a part of our concert series. Our 2011 lineup has already been selected, but interested bands for beyond 2011 can fill out the online application here.
Can kids come?
Anyone can come. We suggest that before you come to the concerts, you listen to the particular artists that are playing to determine if it’s something your kids would like. Some concerts will be more suited for kids than others.

We would love for Carlie Wall to be part of the series. Please let us know what we have to do to make it happen. Check her out: carliewall.com
Thanks!
Thanks, Gene. I’ll send you an email with the info you need.
Is this only for adults or are children invited?. If children are invatid, what age?.
Thanks.
Great question. They are for all ages. Kids are invited. Some of the concerts they might like better than others so it would be a good idea to listen to the artists before you come and see if it’s something you think your children would like.
Hi,
How do you gain acess to the roof for the concert? I wanna go!
There are entrances on the East and West side of the parking deck. Once you’re there, it’ll all become very clear. See you there!
We’re excited to come to the concert tomorrow! We were curious if we should come early to get a good spot. How early should one come to the show in order to get a spot with a good view?
The earliest arrivals in the past have been 7pm, but if tomorrow is anything like our previous concerts, if you come at 7:20 – 7:30ish, you should have a good chance of having a fine spot. Remember to bring blankets or chairs to sit on. Have a fantastic time!
How can I have my band play?
Thanks for asking. Our line-up for 2011 is set. This year, we found bands that we felt were unique and really doing something special and we went to them, rather than them coming to us. We really appreciate your interest in the series, and for next year, we’ll just have to see how things shake out. I really recommend that you come to some of the concerts so that you can see if what we are looking for and what your band provides, are the same thing. Thanks.

looking forward to our first-time tomorrow night…do you recommend ‘camp’ vs. ‘beach’ chairs vs. a blanket? and does bringing ‘something refreshing to drink’ include adult beverages? thanks!!
I recommend those low to the ground chairs. Are those beach chairs? Anything will do, really. And a blanket seems like a good choice for kids because they have a little more wiggle room on something like that.
Something refreshing to drink? I’m going to just leave that up to you.
Is there a lost and found for these events? I think I left something at the concert last night.
We didn’t find anything from the Joshua James show, but we do have a single earring, key, and yahtzee game from past shows.
Is this event pet friendly? My little Shih Tzu, Milo is a huge fan of Imagine Dragons, but if need be he can stay home with their album on repeat.
We think of it more as a concert for people. But if that little Shih Tzu is a good dancer and has concert going manners, then why not. The more the merrier.
I am excited to see Lower Lights on Friday. The weather forecast makes me a little nervous though. Does the show go on if it rains?
Also wondering if the show goes on if it rains?
For tonight, we’re forging ahead. Don’t forget your mittens, and we’ll see you there!
