Take some time out of your Thursday to listen to music in the library. Musicians from Rogue Valley Symphony will fill the main floor of the library with beautiful music. Enjoy it in passing or sit for a while and listen.

This series is presented in partnership with Rogue Valley Symphony.

The Ashland City Band begins their 2026 season at the bandshell in Lithia Park, June 18, at 7:00 PM. The free concerts will be presented every Thursday through August 20. With roots dating back to 1876, the 70-member band has continued its park concerts since the early 1920s and is Southern Oregon’s oldest performing-arts organization. The band plays a variety of original works, transcriptions, marches and musicals, often featuring a guest soloist or ensemble. The Ashland Lions Club will again sell ice cream bars and donate the proceeds to the band programs at Ashland Middle School and High School.

A short but sweet series, dedicated to Americanas roots, with a twist of rock here and there. This is a place to feel, and appreciate the community. It won’t be the same without you. Kind people only.

From the psychedelic shores of Southern California comes The Great North Special, an Americana jam band that fuses together a unique blend of country-blues, psych-rock and funk-soul. Beautiful melodies and tight grooves lead the way through their mind-blowing energetic dance party live shows. Their sound is eclectic and compelling with heavy rhythms, harmonized vocals & guitars, and world class keys and organ. Each performance is a soul-driven whirlwind of exploration through improvisation and crowd connection.

Ian George delivers the sort of concert you’ll dance, sway, sing, laugh and probably cry too. The performance teems with whimsicality, clever arrangements - interrupted by triumphant tangents - and outlandish solos grounded by George’s emotive and gauzy voice and by the simple strength of a good song. This event is presented in collaboration with 7 Devils Brewing Co. Expect an engaging and dynamic string of gentle and not so gentle folk-rock adventures.
