🎸 Summer Concert Series: Diamondback Brings the Heat! 🎸

Join us this week in Giddings Plaza as the Summer Concert Series rolls on with Diamondback, a high-energy band that blends the best of Country, Rock, and Blues into one unforgettable performance. With powerful vocals, driving rhythms, and guitar solos that bring the crowd to life, Diamondback delivers a dynamic set that’ll have you dancing, clapping, and singing along all night long.



Whether you're a die-hard country fan, a blues lover, or just in the mood for some foot-stomping fun, Diamondback’s got you covered with a playlist full of classics and crowd-pleasers.

Bring your friends, family, and neighbors—and don’t forget to swing by the Ricochet's Tavern tent for refreshing drinks while you groove. WasteNot will be popping up tonight as well to share details on their compost collection services.

Reminder: next week marks the final night of the Summer Concert Series, so don’t miss your last chance to enjoy live music under the streetlights! We’ll close out the season with the Cajun/Zydeco grooves of Le Travaillant—a performance you won’t want to miss.
