SUMMER TRACKS ANNOUNCES 26th SEASON LINE-UP -
FIRST CONCERT JUNE 5.
Polk County’s most popular music series—Summer Tracks—presents another great summer of live music at Roger’s Park. The series starts off extra hot in June with performances by Sweet Megg on June 5 and Florencia & The Feeling on June 19, both making their debut appearances at Summer Tracks. Monologging Magazine says Sweet Megg and her band seem as “though they were plucked from a smoke-filled Prohibition-era speakeasy rather than formed on the New York City music scene.” Vents Magazine calls Florencia & the Feeling “pure, unadulterated fun.”
July comes in with a bang with Firecracker Jazz Band on July 3 and goes out in a swoon of luscious sound with Lillie Syracuse and her amazing band on July 17. Lillie’s voice and music have been described as “a velvet stream of joy, grief, and love.” August has audiences rocking out to The Get Right Band on August 7 and a nostalgic tribute to Bonnie Raitt by Peggy Ratusz and her talented friends on August 21.
New View Realty is the presenting sponsor for the series. More information on each show—including performer’s bios and photos—can be found at www.summertracks.com and https://www.facebook.com/SummerTracksTryonNC. All shows begin at 7 p.m. Alcohol consumption is allowed in the park, but alcohol is not for sale. A suggested donation along with many local business and individual sponsors make these shows possible.
Summer Track’s 2026 schedule:
June 5: Sweet Megg
June 19: Florencia & The Feeling
July 3: Firecracker Jazz Band
July 17: Lillie Syracuse Band
August 7: The Get Right Band
