Browne’s Addition Summer Concert Series

Innovia is excited to sponsor the 27th season of the Browne’s Addition Summer Concerts, featuring some of Spokane’s most popular bands, alongside award-winning groups from across the region and nation! Family-friendly, free and open to all, the concert series kicks off on June 20, 2024 at Spokane’s oldest park, Coeur d’Alene Park, located in the heart of the historic Browne’s Addition neighborhood.

Produced by the Browne’s Addition Neighborhood Council, concerts will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. each Thursday until August 15, with no performance scheduled for July 4.

June 20: Mardi Gras Growlers, a six-person band synonymous with good-time, feel-good New Orleans music. The Lady Growler is Abbey Crawford, an award-winning vocalist and local actress for over 20 years.

June 27: Time Baby, an eclectic jazz fusion group of established local musicians and one of three winners of the Spokane Public Radio’s Firehouse Sessions contest. They prioritize the art of creating and performing original music.  

July 11: Villa Blues ’N Jazz. Local noted vocalist Heather Villa brought together four Spokane jazz musicians to form this Jazz and Blues group playing music influences of the group, including Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, John Lee Hooker, BB King and Stevie Wonder. 

July 18: Free Whiskey, a Celtic folk rock band, will play traditional with a twist. Vintage rock and Celtic ballads are intertwined and mesh together as the six members “make magic” together. 

July 25: Soul Proprietor, a high-energy, 10-piece “Urban Soul” group playing Blues, Funk, Motown, R&B and Classic Rock. It features outstanding vocalists Patrice Thompson-Rose and Jerry Lee Raines, a stellar 4-piece horn section, and a super-funky rhythm section. 

August 1: Front Porch Rockers will bring songs from a range of styles, including the roots of folk, Tin Pan Alley, rock ‘n roll, American Songbook, Blues and much more. The music makers include musicians who have entertained Spokane audiences for many years in many different bands. 

August 8: Lucky Losers, winners of five Independent Blues Awards in 2021 and San Francisco’s number one touring band will play as part of their Pacific Northwest tour. Their music is a throwback to the hybrid of soul, blues, rock, gospel, and country that emerged in the late 1960s. 

August 15: Nu Jack City will wrap up the season playing Motown, rhythm and blues as well as current popular tunes. The seven-piece ensemble has been playing for 20 years and bills itself as a high-energy party band fronted by Monee Hamm and Maxwell.
