In this edition of It’s Your City, host Cortney Bloomer sits down with Jeff Fast of the Brewery Arts Center to discuss the Levitt-AMP Concert Series that begins this Friday in Carson City featuring Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

The Levitt-AMP summer concert series opens this Friday, June 23 with the series' only Friday night concert featuring Big Bad VooDoo Daddy, a jazzy swing band, on the Minnesota Street Stage at 7 p.m.
They are followed by nine more weekly acts every Saturday at 7 p.m. through Sept. 2, which ends with the Celtic rock band, Young Dubliners.
The rest of the lineup includes pop and folk band, The Novelists, July 1; Guitar Shorty, July 8; Gene Evaro, Jr., July 15; South American-inspired La Misa Negra, July 22; Southern Drawl, July 29; Thee Commons, Aug. 5; Marla Brown, Aug. 12; and Dusty Green Bones, Aug. 26.
There is no concert scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 19, which is reserved for the Deputy Howell Memorial Music Festival, separate from Levitt-AMP, which will be held at Battle Born Harley-Davidson in Carson City.
In its inaugural season last year, the Levitt AMP successfully drew hundreds to Minnesota Street at King each week. In other BAC news, the board of directors of the Robert Z. Hawkins Foundation, a Reno based philanthropic organization awarded the Brewery Arts Center $18,576 to upgrade its stage equipment. Go here for the story.
