I was at the Brownsburg Farmers Market opening day and got to enjoy music performed by the Twilite Nites. Several market-goers had chairs set up to watch the band as they played jazz versions of some classic songs. They were fantastic and seeing them play really got me excited to check out more bands playing over the next few months. After doing a little research, I was blown away by how many concerts Hendricks County has to offer. Here's a list of just some of the outdoor music to enjoy this summer in Hendricks County:
