BAKER CITY — Summer Sundays are for music in Baker City, thanks to the Powder River Music Revue.

The concert series kicked off June 22 with a patriotic pops concert by the Inland Northwest Musicians. Shows continue every Sunday afternoon, from 4-6 p.m., through Sept. 7.

Attendance is free.

The series is supported by grants and donations, as well as raffle tickets sold at each concert — $5 per ticket or five for $20. Also, yearly memberships are $35 and include one free raffle ticket each Sunday. For information, visit powderrivermusicrevue.org.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Powder River Pavilion, which is where every concert is held in the park. The theme for this season, said board president Rory Noble, is “at the heart of the park,” the message featured on the west side of the pavilion.

The concert schedule is a mixture of local and regional musicians.

“One of our focuses is giving the local musicians a place,” Noble said.

The next show, on June 29, features the Walla Walla band Rogue Lobster with a sound described as Americana bluegrass crustacean.

A new feature at the summer concerts is a space for local young musicians to play for an hour before the show.

“To get the younger kids involved in some way,” Noble said.
