Trent Beaver is coming to a stage in the area this summer.

Music will be on fire this summer throughout local communities

There will be music in the air all summer long as four local communities set their lineups for their respective summer music scenes.

For lovers of all kinds of music, these summer concerts offer a wide range of musical offerings to satisfy musical palates. Molalla gets things kicked off in mid-June, and from there its just about a weekly influx of musical flavors throughout the area.

Then toss in the “Mother of all tribute band festival,” Harefest in mid-July, and you have a pretty solid summer of music on tap.
