Kal Bergendahl: First Summer Nights concert


Racine's Summer Nights at the Square concert series will kick off on Saturday, June 14, with a performance by The Kal Bergendahl Project.

The Kal Bergendahl Project is a group of musicians spanning from Milwaukee to Chicago. The group’s founder and bassist, Kal Bergendahl, embarked on this project to combine smooth, edgy jazz with soulful pop music in 2005. The band’s sound can be described as a mixture of upbeat smooth jazz and soulful pop/R&B. They combine energetic instrumental jazz with traditional vocal jazz, giving a variety of musical styles. Their sounds are reminiscent of Diana Krall and Kirk Whalum on the jazz side and Norah Jones, Maroon 5 and John Mayer on the pop side.

Summer Nights at the Square is Downtown Racine’s newest concert series which began last year. The free outdoor concerts are held on the second Saturday during June, July, August and September,from 7 – 9 p.m. at Monument Square.

Guests are invited to bring their lawn chairs. Refreshments will be available for sale.

Summer Nights at the Square is sponsored by a grant from the Osborne and Scekic Family Foundation in cooperation with the Downtown Racine Corporation.
