The Birdhouse Gourds Will Headline Sunday Concert, Pass Out Free CDs

Hey rock and rollers, don't miss a free concert by the Birdhouse Gourds, Avon Lake's own band fronted by Jerry Popiel.

Fresh from performing at the Cuyahoga County Fair, the band will kick off at 6 p.m. on Aug. 21 at as part of the Avon Lake Summer Concert Series. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and settle in for two hours of tunes. You won't leave empty handed.

"We'll be bringing free CDs and are playing some new material we haven't done before," Popiel said.

The band has played the Summer Concert Series before. The venue remains a favorite. It is the sixth time the band has played at the park. 

"Performing at the Miller Road Park gazebo is one of our absolute favorite things to do as a band," Popiel said. "The park is such a beautiful setting right on the shores of Lake Erie, definitely one of the gems of Avon Lake. We find that families have a great time listening to the music, enjoying the sunset and watching the kids play all around.  

"It's just another in the long list of reasons that Avon Lake is the best place to live anywhere."

The band starts a half hour earlier than previous Summer Concert shows.
