Geneva’s RiverPark concerts to return

After a one-year hiatus because of the pandemic, Geneva’s RiverPark Summer Concert Series will return with two free nights of entertainment at 6 p.m. Sundays, July 11 and July 18, at the stone amphitheater at North River Lane and Peyton Street, just north of State Street, officials announced in a news release.

Geneva’s Cultural Arts Commission sponsors the concerts.

Good Clean Fun opens on July 11 with a performance featuring a playlist of party hits spanning seven decades.

The group is described as one of the region’s most requested party bands after playing across the United States as well as Ireland, Trinidad and Thailand. More recently, Good Clean Fun has shared the bill with top oldies acts like Jay and the Americans and Chubby Checker, and it has opened for Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers and Tommy James and the Shondells.

The School of Rock Geneva House Band, comprised of its best students and several music teachers, will take the stage July 18.

The group will present multiple genres of music including classical, rock, and rhythm and blues, giving young, aspiring musicians from the School of Rock Geneva, 15 W. State St., an opportunity to showcase their talent.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair, blanket and a picnic dinner. In case of inclement weather, performances will be postponed. Given the amphitheater’s seating arrangement, people who are not vaccinated should wear a face mask and social distance as best as possible.
