Music Off Central begins its summer concert series on Thursday night.

Held in Central Park in downtown Sutherlin, on the Grand Central Stage, shows are being presented for 6 weeks. The evenings include live music, a beer garden, vendors, and multiple food trucks. The family-friendly atmosphere offers a splash pad and plenty of shade.

The series begins with The Vandoliers. Billed as a unique Texas band, their musical identity has a raucous, breakneck vibe that’s all their own. The six-piece group is self- described as “rollicking country punks”

Music Off Central continues through August 7th with a variety of genres including rock, country and more. All shows begin at 7:00 p.m.
