Arts-Entertainment
The Shane Lalani Center for the Arts has announced the lineup for their popular summer music series for 2025. For the fourth year in a row, The Shane Center presents a
family-friendly afternoon featuring food trucks and free live music under the Henry Blake Pavilion every Thursday in June and July from 5 to 8 pm.
“Summer arrives at The Shane Center on the first Thursday in June,” said Russell Lewis, Artistic Director of The Shane Center for the Arts. “It’s hard to believe it’s been four years of SOCS shows. We love that we’ve become a part of our community’s social calendar and enjoy seeing our friends and neighbors and their guests each Thursday for great fun and wonderful music. This year we welcome some favorite performers back and introduce you to some new artists."
Local favorites, The Fossils, take the stage on June 5th to kick off the new season. This band has been entertaining Park County for decades. Their energetic dance music includes favorites from the Grateful Dead to the Beatles to Delbert McClinton. Rich “Pinky” Ruggles on keyboards/bass, Scott Boehler on harmonica, Don Scott on drums and Bill Dwyer on guitars have been doing this for a long time, but this is their first show at The Shane Center Pavillion. What a perfect way to kick off the summer, come to the Shane and join generations of friends and neighbors—and definitely bring your dancing shoes.
Families are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs, there will be a dance floor, please no outside food or beverages. In partnership with Mighty Fine Time Live Events, the Summer Outdoor Concert Series (SOCS) is sponsored by Livingston HealthCare and Marcia McCrum – in Memory of Bliss McCrum. The 2025 Shane Center Season is sponsored by the Yellowstone Valley Lodge and Grill. There is expanded bicycle parking onsite and additional vehicle parking available at the Lincoln School at 215 East Lewis Street. The Shane Center is located at 415 E. Lewis Street. The event opens at 4 pm, when food trucks will begin service.
