After performances by the five-piece band Slay Town City and Delaware-based recording artist Sug Daniels kicked off the 2025 Sounds of Summer free concert series, the remainder of the series lineup forms a surefire follow-up, beginning with a performance by the Wilmington-based Spokey Speaky on June 25.

This year’s concert series will continue on July 2 with a performance by Renasci; The Whitney Project, featuring percussionist, composer and recording artist Jonathan Whitney, will perform on July 9; Philadelphia based soul-rock outfit Cordelia Blue, whose original sound incorporates elements of classic funk, blues, rock and R n’ B, will perform on July 16; and Chester County native Carly Simmons, a rising voice in country music known for her powerful and emotional vocals, will continue the series with a performance on July 23.

The 2025 Sounds of Summer free concert series will round out with a performance by The Late Ambitions, a six-member cover band who delivers rock, country, pop from the 50s to the present, on July 30; and Bones Brigade, a Brandywine Valley band known for its interpretations of the music of the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia, on Aug. 6.
