The Gardens on Spring Creek is bringing something new to Live at The Gardens this year. A first-of-its-kind family-friendly concert is taking place on July 18. The Okee Dokee Brothers are often described as the "Shel Silverstein of family music."

Their sound is the perfect combination of family music and adventure. I have been playing it for our two boys, and it's the kind of dancing music we can all get into together.

They played a show last year as part of the Lincoln Center's outdoor concert series, and it was so crowded that many people didn't get to experience it, or at least not to the full extent it deserved. This is your opportunity to do it right! Tickets for this concert are a flat $29, making it easy for everyone to join in on the fun. This concert is also special because children ages one and under get in free! (Grab those tickets at the Lincoln Center Box Office in person.)

You can make sure the whole family is fed with the food trucks of the night:

Arepas Caribbean | Los Antojitos del Sureste | Panhandlers Pizza | Urban Hot Dog Collective | Glacier Ice Cream

The Okee Dokee Brothers aren't the only ones taking the stage at Live at The Gardens this summer. The series offers a wide range of musical styles and keeps us jamming all season long. The concerts kick off this weekend, so don't miss out. Check out the full lineup for all six concerts below!

June 13: Kicking things off are The Fabulous Thunderbirds, a quintessential American band that has evolved from a straight-ahead blues outfit into a high-energy blend of rock, R&B, and soul. They're the perfect way to start the summer.

July 18: The Okee Dokee Brothers

July 25: Beach Boy Al Jardine & The Pet Sounds Band present A Celebration of

the Music of Brian Wilson & The Beach Boys. Once in high school, someone didn't know who The Beach Boys were, and I was personally offended (and apparently still am, since I remember it years later). Trust me, you don't want to miss this one.

August 8: Take a different direction with Don Was & The Pan Detroit Ensemble. This tour is a homecoming of sorts, as he leads a powerhouse group of Motor

City musicians that bridges the gap between cosmic rock and gritty Detroit soul.

Food trucks:Los Antojitos del Sureste | Panhandlers Pizza | Scrooge Maki | Urban Hot Dog Collective | Walrus Ice Cream

August 15: An Evening with Marc Cohn & Shawn Colvin: Together in Concert. After winning a GRAMMY® for his

soulful ballad "Walking in Memphis," Marc Cohn solidified his place as one of this generation's most compelling singer-songwriters, combining the precision of a brilliant

Rounding out the season on August 25th: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is bringing the blues to NoCO, continuing its decades-long mission to celebrate and revitalize jazz and swing music, America's original musical art form, and bring joy to audiences around the world.
