      The free tunes of late summer continue through Labor Day at Pasadena Senior Center. Guests of all ages and from any community are welcome to attend the popular Summer Concert Series at 85 E. Holly St., Pasadena.

      By Melanie Hooks

      Both concerts run from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm on their respective dates.

      After successful August performances, the center is gearing up for Tuesday, September 1, when U.S. 99 will take the stage. This high-energy American roots band loves getting audiences swaying in their seats and onto the dance floor. Its repertoire includes 1950s and ’60s rock ’n’ roll, folk, blues, surf, rockabilly, and country.

      The final concert in the series will feature The Great American Swing Band on Monday, September 7. Based in Los Angeles, the Great American Swing Band is a powerhouse 15-piece ensemble featuring vocalist Linda Vogel. The band brings timeless music to life with a repertoire spanning unforgettable Big Band Era classics, vibrant Latin rhythms, rock favorites, and contemporary hits. Its performances keep audiences on their feet.

      Pasadena Senior Center is celebrating America’s 250th anniversary with this diverse lineup of American music, perfect for dancing and celebrating together.

      Visit the Pasadena Senior Center website to reserve your free spot.

      Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. Dancing is encouraged.
