Summer Concert Series - AUGUST 27 | Michael McDermott
Summer Concert Series
August 27 - Michael McDermott & The Arsonists
7 - 8:30 PM
Central Park Plaza, Home to the 1st Source Bank Amphitheater
Pre-show entertainment at 5:30 featuring Jack Cunningham.
Michael McDermott’s brand of rock n’ roll brims with the kind of wellhoned style and wisdom that can only come from a career on the road and a pedigree in the studio. Effortlessly blending natural folk sensibility, pop hooks, and honest rock, McDermott’s music is as much for the outcast as the congregation. It’s an exploration of the dark corners of life’s journey and it resonates middle class truths through the passionate filter of a kid that grew up on Chicago’s Irish South Side.
If you are a fan of Springsteen, Van Morrison, John Steinbeck, Patti Smith … McDermott’s inspirational rock is in your wheelhouse, waiting late night with a guitar, spare smokes and stories of the American heart.
