The Sizzlin' Summer Concert Series Heats up The Grove in August

LOS ANGELES (Casey Sayre & Williams/ www.cswpr.com) - The Grove, a favorite Southern California destination for first-rate entertainment, shopping and dining in the heart of Los Angeles, is stirring up excitement again with its third annual concert series line-up. As always, Town Square will be the happening venue for the best, free summer concerts in Los Angeles. Beginning August 3, the concerts will take place outdoors every Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. throughout the month.

- AUG. 3 - Actor/singer MINNIE DRIVER, well known for her roles in "Good Will Hunting" and "Ella Enchanted," and her guest appearances on "Will & Grace," is also an accomplished musician who will bring her jazzy, stylish sounds to the opening of this year's summer concert series. Her genuine voice has sent fans running to buy her album, "Everything I've Got in My Pocket."

- AUG. 10 - The youthful and talented KYLE RIABKO is a rising star who has opened for such big names as John Mayer, Buddy Guy and Maroon 5. Currently on tour, he's made sure to put The Grove's summer concert series on his agenda where he will showcase his bluesy, soulful grooves.

- AUG. 17 - SCOTT GRIMES is not only a name that can be recognized from his current hit show "ER," as well as his days on the wildly popular "Party of 5," he also has his own following in the music world with his album "Living on the Run." One of the album's notorious hits, "Sunset Boulevard," is a crowd-pleaser not soon to be forgotten.

- AUG. 24 - While teenage sensation, TREVOR HALL, isn't knockin' on heaven's door, he can't shy away from his reputation as the next Bob Dylan and is rightly paralleled with the talents of Jack Johnson. A surfer at heart, Trevor plans to make waves with his immense acoustic talents.

- AUG. 31 - TONY ORLANDO, a name popularized in the '70s by such hits as "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree" and "Knock Three Times," is ready to get L.A. dancing. He puts a modern twist on his classic songs that will make any crowd ready to boogie down.

The Grove is located at Third Street and Fairfax Avenue, adjacent to L.A.'s historic Farmers Market. For more information about the concert series or for specific store and restaurant hours, please call The Grove Concierge at: (323) 900-8080.
