The second annual Goodale Park Music Series will present six free outdoor concerts at the park’s gazebo this summer. All shows run from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. rain or shine. The lineup features these Columbus performing acts:
- July 11: Colin Gawel & The Lonely Bones
- July 18: The Mooncussers
- August 1: Yumbambé
- August 8: The Spikedrivers
- August 15: fo/mo/deep
- August 22: Flypaper
Wholly Craft will sell a variety of craft items made by Columbus artists and designers at each show. Every performance will also feature a potluck hosted by one of six prominent local food bloggers: CMH Gourmand, Columbus Foodie, Hounds In The Kitchen, Hungrywoolf, Restaurant Widow, and Taco Trucks Columbus. Community personalities Jill Moorhead and Lauren Wilson will orchestrate and promote the potlucks, which will be themed according to the types of music being performed.
The goal of these concerts is to celebrate community and support local musicians from multiple musical genres. Children and well-behaved pets are more than welcome. Camaraderie and bare feet in the grass are highly encouraged. The series is funded by the Short North Foundation, Short North Civic Association, Friends of Goodale Park, Italian Village Society, Harrison West Society, and ComFest.

Making those potlucks part of the production is an amazing idea. Way to go!
Hey.
My psyched face, let me show you it!
Music + Food + New Friends = Awesome. Thanks for putting this together, Alex! You’re part of what makes Columbus awesome.
Yeah…and a big +1 to that. You rock Alex!
oh man, sounds awesome! Glad kids aren’t required to be well-behaved because this is scheduled during prime naptime.
Great lineup! Can’t wait.
I’m excited to be part of this event this year hosting the potluck on August 15.
My child will be one of the just barely behaved ones and I wouldn’t dream of bringing our food-thieving hounds. Hope to see you there!
Great idea, great lineup. Looking forward to each and every show.
Great Music, Good Food and Good People. This is not to be missed. Sundays were so much fun last year. Thanks to Alex for sustaining this and for community personality OSU Lew for being the wind beneath our wings.
CMHG…did I ever tell you you’re my hero…
;)
Can’t believe it’s just a few weeks away. Thanks <so much> to the bands, donating organizations, Web/print designer Kevin Fox, sound engineer Mark Miller, Jill and Lauren, food bloggers, Wholly Craft, and Columbus Recreation & Parks for helping to make these concerts happen.
Hey Kids! What are you bringing on Sunday?

My wife and I bought a couple bags of potato chips made in Tiffin, Ohio. Forget what the brand name is right off hand. May try to pick up something from the local farm market like Ohio made cheese of some sort.
