May 14—Live music will return to Mears Park in June.

The Lowertown Sounds series runs from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Thursdays, June 10, through Aug. 26. The concerts are free and feature artists performing in various genres, including rock, pop, jazz, blues, hip-hop, funk and salsa. Guests are welcome to bring blankets and chairs. Each concert will have several food truck options and local craft beverage makers.

"After more than a year away from live music, bringing Lowertown Sounds back to the stage was an absolute priority, but it was also a tremendous uphill climb with plenty of first-of-their kind curveballs," said Clint Roberts, Lowertown Sounds founder and event director. "We wouldn't be here without the support of the community and companies."

The schedule includes:

— June 10: Lady Midnight, Allie McIntosh and Chris Holm.

— June 17: Sarah Morris and Gambler's Daughter.

— July 8: Flamin Oh's and Kiss the Tiger.

— July 15: The Shackletons and Henry Invisible.

— July 22: Annie Mack and Maudlin.

— July 29: Salsa del Soul and Atlantis Quartet.

— Aug. 5: Jeff Arundel and Good Morning Bedlam.

— Aug. 12: Dan Israel and the Cultivators and Chemistry Set.

— Aug. 19: The New Standards and Lucy Michelle.

— Aug. 26: Heiruspecs, the Fragrants and Saint Small.
