Here are the bands for Music on the Lawn this coming summer and blurbs about them.
 
July 18 – The Mix - The Mix combines the best of a live band with non-stop song mixes, playing not only the best current Top 40, but everything from 70’s funk and disco to 80’s pop & rock. The Mix hails from Seattle and is a high energy, playing at festivals, clubs and casinos all up and down the I-5 corridor.
 
July 25 – The Pop-Offs – The Pop-Offs is a classic pop rock band that plays songs from 60’s through to today. They are known for their near perfect renditions of The Police, Queen, and such. They played a half-time ceremony for a Seahawks game to great success a few years ago and have been continuing to rock the region since.

Prospero is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. He is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.
