One of the best known instrumentalists around is kicking off the free 2022 Camden County Summer Parks Concert Series aimed at music fans of all ages.
Kenny G will bring his smooth jazz sounds to Wiggins Park on the Camden, New Jersey, waterfront on June 6 to launch the free Sunset Jazz Series concerts.
"After another tough year of COVID-19, we’re excited to announce these events that will get our residents out of their homes and into the community to enjoy free music and company," Camden County Commissioner Jeff Nash said in a news release.
Mark your calendars. Over the following three months, artists including Corinne Bailey Rae (June 27), Jeffrey Gaines (July 13), rap legends The Sugarhill Gang (Aug. 1), Jukebox the Ghost (Aug. 3) and Richard Thompson (Sept. 7) will take the stage at three different spots across the county.
