What could be better than a soft summer evening outdoors experiencing live music.  We think not much and so every summer the Hilliard Arts Council hosts a Sunday evening concert series featuring an eclectic mix of performers and music styles. The concerts are free to the public and occur in front of the Hilliard Civic and Cultural Arts Center. Concerts are rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather the concert will be held inside the HCCAC. Don’t forget we are DORA friendly – feel free to bring your beverages from DORA friendly establishments in Old Hilliard.

The Wood Pickers, a bluegrass and country band formed in 2018, is The band is an amalgam of several great bands including One Riot One Ranger, Death by Banjo, Grassahol, and the North Fork Rounders. The musical tastes of The Wood Pickers brings together the various traditions of these bands to combine for a mix of traditional bluegrass, modern bluegrass, country music, blues, and original material.. Their three and four part vocal harmonies touch the high lonesome bluegrass sound, the rough and raw of old time music, and the tight sounds of country music.The band brings to the fore the many years of musical experience of five great players from the Columbus, Ohio music scene consisting of Pete Remenyi (resophonic guitar, harp, vocals), Chas Williams (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), Tom Zinser (guitar, vocals), Heidi White (bass, vocals) and Craig Wales (5-string banjo).

This year the Summer Concert is made possible in part due to the generous support of Coffee Connections, Rotary Club of Hilliard and Destination Hilliard.
