You don’t have to go to the Barclays Center or Madison Square Garden to see a great concert this summer. If you live in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, or Marine Park, all you have to do is go to your local park to see some great bands.

State Sen. Marty Golden (R-C-Bay Ridge-southern Brooklyn) is teaming up with the South West Brooklyn Parks Task Force, to co-sponsor a summer concert series in the parks in the senator’s district on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

“This summer, I am proud to host another great line up of concerts and invite music lovers and neighbors to be a part of these great evenings of music. It’s time to grab a beach chair, or a blanket, and head to our local parks on most Tuesday and Wednesday evenings,” Golden said.“The music of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, dance, classic rock, and more will be sure to get you dancing under the stars. Frankie Marra, Carl Thomas, Brooklyn Keys, City Sounds and more acts will make our local park alive with the music that we have come to enjoy and love,” Golden said.

The 2013 Summer Concert season kicks of with Head Over Heels, a party band, and Headin’ South, a classic southern rock band, sharing the bill in Shore Road Park on July 9. Enter the park at 79th Street.
