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.

Playing New Orleans style Dixieland and pre-WWII era jazz like it’s going out of style, Whirlybirds add their own spin – incorporating more modern elements of jazz, pop, soul, funk. The result is unique arrangements of original music (as well as standards/covers) designed to engage and entertain the audience in a high-energy, live show the audience won’t soon forget. The band features Joe Gilliland (vocals/guitar), Brenny Brenneman (clarinet/saxes/vocals), Trent Sampson (double bass/vocals), Nick Simko (trumpet), Jacob Campbell (keys), and Max Marsillo (drums).

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.
