Their Nuevo Flamenco stylings are sure to please! Performances are scheduled from 6 to 7:30 p.m. each evening.
Music on the Green will then continue every other Wednesday throughout the summer with five additional performances.The series will feature a diverse mix of music from Country, Big Band, “Palm Tree Rock ’n Roll” and Rock/Dance.
“Each year, we strive to book a range of local musical acts that offer families and music lovers a good mix of genres,” said Redmond Chamber of Commerce Event Coordinator Karen Sande. “We succeeded in doing that again this year. I’m thrilledto offer our community a lineup of top-notch music from established local bands.”
Other musical performers at this year’s Music on the Green include, Countryfied (July 12), The Notables Swing Band (July26), Mango Stew (Aug. 9), and Precious Byrd (Aug. 23).

“The Hokulea Dancers have quite a following in Central Oregon, and their performances never disappoint,” Sande said. “Their show is musical, it’s colorful and it’s interactive. We find it’s the perfect way to end the summer season — Hawaiianstyle.”
