Redmond’s free concert series ‘Music on the Green’ returns at Sam Johnson Park this summer

Bring the lawn chairs, grab a blanket and join the Redmond Chamber of Commerce & CVB for free live music as we host the 27th year of Music on the Green, presented by First Interstate Bank and Eberhard’s Dairy Products at Sam Johnson Park in the heart of Central Oregon, Redmond, the organization said Monday.

This year’s lineup includes JuJu Eyeball (June 29th), Heller Highwater (July 13th), Junkyard Joyride (July 27th), Kristi Kinsey & The Whiskey Bandits (Aug. 10th), and Junebugs (Aug. 24th). Per annual tradition, a performance by Redmond’s own Hokulea Dancers, a troop featuring traditional Hawaiian Island dance and drumming, will round out the 2022 season on Wednesday, September 7th.

Along with free musical entertainment, Music on the Green will feature a variety of food and drinks, farm, art, craft and business vendors in booths throughout Sam Johnson Park. Kids and adults alike will love the bounce houses on site and other games and activities in the park.  

Music on the Green is made possible thanks to a number of community sponsors, starting with presenting sponsors First Interstate Bank and Eberhard's Dairy Products. Other sponsors include Summit Medical, Pacific Power, Redmond Municipal Airport, LS Networks, and Horizon Broadcasting Group.

JuJu Eyeball

Bend Oregon has a Beatles cover band? They do now, luv. From She Loves You to She's So Heavy, JuJu Eyeball takes an exciting and exacting look at The Beatles catalog. You're likely to hear your favorite, and no one's stopping you from dancing. Original guitarist and native North Westerner Paul Eddy had long wanted to form a Beatles cover band. That desire became a reality when he met future band mates Dan Larsson and Karl Lindgren, who both happen to be Swedish. Thank you, Sweden!
