Opening Act: Lilly Reding (Local) at 6:30pm

Summer Concert Series: Rusty Bladen at 7:00pm

Rusty’s show is a high-energy, freewheeling tour-de-force of Bladen originals, rock and roll, country-rock covers, and an evening that turns into a party. Bladen has performed at festivals and clubs throughout Indiana and the Midwest, captivating the crowd with his performance, his band, and plenty of audience participation. Rusty has toured in Ireland, is a summer festival favorite, and his music has been featured in a major studio film.

BMPL’s outside space is DORA approved. Walk to your favorite bar in town to grab a dink in the DORA APPROVED CUP and head over to listen to the Concert.
