The Story Behind the Music and the People Who Bring It to Life
Concerts Under the Stars was created with a simple idea: live music feels even more magical beneath the open sky. What began as an intimate gathering of music lovers has grown into a series of unforgettable evenings in cities across the country. Each show blends talented performers, iconic venues, and the atmosphere of a summer night to create an experience unlike any other.
Concerts Under the Stars was conceived during the pandemic and born out of a passion for performance. Singer Bernard lamented the lack of live music during multiple lockdowns and decided to work to get his friends back on the stage in a covid-safe way. The open-air venues they chose not only offered great ventilation, they also provided a breathtaking backdrop to each show. So much so that even as restrictions eased, Concerts Under the Stars continued going strong.
At every event, you’ll find more than a concert — you’ll discover a place where music, community, and atmosphere come together. Picture yourself surrounded by friends, watching the sunset, and listening as the first notes float into the night. From jazz to soul to timeless classics, each performance is carefully curated to connect with those looking for something different from the typical night out.
We believe music should be accessible, immersive, and memorable. Our mission is to bring people together through live performances in inspiring outdoor spaces. Whether you’re discovering a new artist or revisiting a favorite song, we want you to leave each evening with a lasting memory.
Behind every Concerts Under the Stars performance is a dedicated team driven by passion, artistry, and vision. More than just organizers, they are performers and creators who understand what it means to bring music to life. Their combined experience on stage and behind the scenes ensures each event is curated with care, crafted for unforgettable evenings, and fueled by a shared love for live performance under the night sky.
