Brewery Arts Center announces 2022 Levitt AMP Carson City summer concert series lineup
Live outdoor concerts in Carson City return this summer with a lineup that's sure to sizzle Saturday nights from June through August.
The public is invited to bring their own picnics, blankets and lawn chairs to the concerts, which will have an open setting. There will be food trucks, drink vendors and kids activities at every concert. The Levitt AMP concert series is located at the Brewery Arts Center campus, 449 West King Street at the corner of King and Minnesota Streets. Admission is free.
The Levitt AMP Carson City Music Series is supported in part by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, which partners with towns and cities across America to activate underused public spaces through the power of free live music, creating welcoming, inclusive destinations. Presenting a broad array of music genres and cultural programming, Levitt venues and concert sites are community anchors where families, friends and neighbors of all ages and backgrounds come together.
The 2022 Levitt Amp concert series will kick off June 25 on The Change Companies stage featuring samba-reggae-funk headliner SambDa and opening for them is Liz Broscoe’s Interactive Drum Circle.
“SambaDa is always a crowd favorite,” says Brewery Arts Center Executive Director Gina Lopez, “it’s been four years since they have performed in Carson City and we are excited to bring them back as they are sure to get the entire crowd on their feet. The whole night will be an interactive experience as accomplished performer and educator Liz Broscoe will be leading the crowd in an interactive drum circle before SambaDa takes the stage.”
