In the KQEN Cultural Spotlight:

Music on the Half Shell begins its 33rd season on Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m.

The weekly summer concerts are presented at Nichol’s Band Shell in Roseburg’s Stewart Park.

Half Shell begins with The Revelers performing Swamp, Pop, Cajun, Zydeco, Country and Blues, all while fusing it into a fresh high-energy sound that organizers say is entirely their own. Members of the group have worked with people like T-Bone Burnett, Linda Ronstadt, Cedric Watson and Natalie Merchant.

Attendees can choose from several food truck and dinner vendors or bring their own meal. Wine and beer are allowed at the concerts, but the use of tobacco in the City of Roseburg Parks is not. Concert goers can put out blankets ahead of time

Half Shell concerts are free to the public, thanks to a long list of sponsors. For the first time ever, this year nine concerts will take place.
