Are there any Jewel City residents looking to spend the last, lingering hot summer nights of the year with some live music and open-air surroundings? If that’s you, Glendale Arts has just the thing.

Every Thursday night through the end of the month, Glendale Arts will be presenting a series of free concerts at the Glendale City Center in Downtown. Spanning the gamut from pop to classical to jazz, the series, dubbed Pop Up!, will have a little bit of everything.

Tonight is the bluesy vocalism of 19-year-old singer/songwriter Shane Henry, followed up next Thursday by the jazzy sounds of The Essentials.

Concerts begin at 5 p.m. and take place at the Glendale City Center at 101 N. Brand Blvd. Admission is free to the public.

For more information, visit www.glendalearts.org or call (800) 552-2787, or emailing info@glendalearts.org.
