You know it’s summer when the Drop-In kicks off. The free concert series on the Long Center’s Hartman Concert Lawn is a showcase of local talent, both longtime favorites and emerging new artists. The 12-show series, which runs every Thursday night from May 26-Aug. 11, features David Garza, David Ramirez, Geto Gala, James Robinson, Jeska and the Vanity Project, Luna Luna, Money Chicha, Natalie Price, Nuevo, the Octopus Project, the Past Lives, Ruthie Foster, San Gabriel, Sharon Silva, Sweet Spirit, and Think No Think. As Long Center president Cory Baker said in the press release, “Access to free, live music is what makes our city so special, and we are excited to expand this series in its second year. Throughout the summer, Austinites and visitors alike can expect to see some of their favorite sets and maybe even discover their new favorite band.” Reserve your tickets for the first show on May 20 at TheLongCenter.org. Doors open at 7 p.m., music starts at 8 p.m.
