St. Louis Concert Series on the Plaza 2025

/in /by

The Commons is delighted to host the St. Louis Concert Series for this concert in their 2025 season!

Six-String Soldiers is a six-member country music group performing Americana and patriotic music.
The group was formed in 2015 by active-duty Soldiers who received national media attention after a Facebook video of the group playing The Beatles’ “Here Comes The Sun” went viral. Since then, they have appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Morning Express with Robin Meade, Harry with Harry Connick Jr., and Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family show.

Spend a memorable afternoon listening to the music of this remarkably versatile and entertaining ensemble!

Weather permitting, the concert will be on the plaza – please bring your own chairs or blankets.
* In case of wet weather, the concert will move to St. Louis Church.
