MSUMMER CONCERTS

BY ED CONDRAN

Music fans in Dana Point, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano can kick back and enjoy the sun and sounds of the summer because the troika of SoCal cities will host an array of concerts from July through September.

Veteran blues rocker Ian Moore will perform July 3 at The Coach House. The Austin-born/Seattle-based singer-songwriter, who has opened for such icons as Bob Dylan and ZZ Top, will draw from his deep, eight-album canon.

Mr. Hand and Jeff Spicoli will be MIA at the Fast Times show, but the event featuring the ’80s cover band will roll on July 13 at The Coach House. Expect versions of songs crafted by Guns ‘N Roses, Depeche Mode and Bon Jovi. Score tickets now or you might be scalped by Mike Damone.

Classic soul and R&B will be delivered by Family Style as the group kicks off San Juan Capistrano Summer Nights July 17 at Historic Town Center.

Lovers of covers should enjoy a double bill of Billy Nation and Elton: The Early Years on July 14 at Dana Point: Concerts in the Park. The former is a Billy Joel tribute act, and the latter tips its hat to Sir Elton John. The Concerts in the Park series continues July 21 with ABBAfab, which will render songs from the greatest Swedish band of all time. The second half of the double bill features the Spirit Band, which delivers Earth, Wind & Fire songs.

Veteran hard rockers Y&T, who are on their 50th anniversary tour, will perform July 20 at a sold-out Coach House.

The soulful Haley Reinhart, who made some noise as Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox’s featured vocalist, will play July 24 at The Coach House. The “American Idol” alum, who is an engaging live entertainer, will showcase her pop/R&B tunes.

One of Austin’s most revered singer-songwriters, Bob Schneider, will deliver his mix of funk, folk and rock July 27 at The Coach House.

Uptown Funk, a tribute to pop star Bruno Mars, will co-headline with Black Eyed Tease, a group that, naturally, covers the Black Eyed Peas, on July 28 at Dana Point’s Concerts in the Park.

God only knows how long the Beach Boys will continue to tour. Venerable Beach Boy Al Jardine and his Endless Summer Band will play the hits Aug. 2 at The Coach House.

The Reflexx, a Duran Duran cover band, and Saved by the ‘90s, who will perform hits from the Clinton era, are slated for Aug. 2 at Dana Point’s Concerts in the Park.
