    San Jose summers wouldn't be the same without Music in the Park, Downtown's most anticipated concert series. For more than 20 years, people have come out to enjoy a variety of music at free Thursday night Music in the Park concerts. Scion is the title sponsor, and Dos Equis along with Metro Newspapers return as presenting sponsors. Food and beverages are available at the park. The Lounge in the Park, which is open to the public, will serve sangria, beer and wine.

    August 20: Sonny Landreth (Blues/Rock)- The "King of Slydeco" hails from Lafayette, Louisiana, where he started turning heads as a teenage virtuoso. Bassist Dave Ranson was one of the first to be blown away by Sonny Landreth's six-string prowess, and at the time, Landreth was only 15. His ninth album From the Reach is the first to be released on his own Landfall label and collaborates with five of the greatest guitar players on the planet - Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson and Vince Gill - for some jaw-dropping performances. Also making a house call is legendary New Orleans pianist and singer Dr. John and iconic Gulf Coast troubadour Jimmy Buffett.
