Dublin Arts Council announces 2009 lineup for
26th annual DAC Sundays at Scioto Concert Series
DUBLIN, Ohio— (May 26, 2009) Executive Director David Guion of Dublin Arts Council today announced the musical lineup for the 26th annual DAC Sundays at Scioto Concert Series. The popular outdoor concerts provide an array of Central Ohio and regional musicians onstage in the outdoor amphitheatre at scenic Scioto Park, 7377 Riverside Dr., in Dublin, just north of the DAC facility and south of Hard Rd. The free concerts take place Sunday evenings, June 7 through July 26, from 7 to 8:30 pm.
“Dublin Arts Council is so pleased to bring these free Sunday evening concerts to our community each summer,” says Guion. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to lounge on the grass overlooking the river, and enjoy a picnic with everything from Dixieland jazz to British pop.”
Jeni’s Ice Creams will be on hand each week, selling four flavors of ice cream and root beer floats with proceeds benefiting Dublin Arts Council.
According to Guion, the DAC Sundays at Scioto concert series entertainment includes:
June 7:
New Basics Brass Band (New Orleans funk, jazz and R&B)
June 14:
The Z-Sharp Big Band (Classic big band swing)
June 21:
The Conspiracy Band (Funk and R&B)
June 28:
The High Street Stompers Dixieland Band (Dixieland jazz)
July 5:
Brass Band of Columbus (British Brass Band)
July 12:
Arnett Howard (Creole, Cajun & Zydeco)
July 19:
The Bearded (Original old-time string & jug band)
July 26:
British Invasion (British pop/rock)
Full descriptions of the bands and links to their music can be found via http://www.dublinarts.org/events/sas.html
The 26th anniversary event and the location are of historical significance to Dublin Arts Council. The Council was formed after an ad hoc committee brought the Columbus Symphony Orchestra to the dedication of Scioto Park in 1983. The park is also home to Leatherlips, the first public artwork of DAC’s Dublin Art in Public Places program. The 12-foot high native limestone sculpture of the Wyandot Indian Chief has overlooked the park’s amphitheatre since 1990.

Comment by Janet Cooper - Dublin Arts Council on July 9, 2009 at 4:33pm - AND, we ended up with some adorable pictures of Andy dancing with his daughter!! This week (July 12) is Arnett Howard. He's a trumpeter with a Cajun/Zydeco flavor. Should be loads of fun. What a character. Here's how he describes himself: a musician, broadcaster, journalist, historian, traveler, communications teacher, pilot, scuba diver, skier and confessed women’s basketball addict.

Comment by Andy Resnik on June 21, 2009 at 9:18pm - The family and I just got back from the Conspiracy Band concert and it was fabulous. We had a great time listening to the music, and I also spread the word about YourDublin and handed out some fliers. I can definitely see the Sundays@Scioto concerts becoming a family tradition. They're free, five minutes from my house and a lot of fun.

Dublin history lesson
Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
