Rhythm in the Park Series
Presented by Lansing Riverfront, The Community Foundation, and BMRW Promotions.
Starting in June, 2026, join us on the second Sunday of the month for a powerful evening of music from 4pm to 7pm.
On June 14th the Flint Southernaires and AWD Band will kickoff the series.
The Flint Southernaires are commemorating sixty years dedicated to gospel music.
The group was established in the late 1960s by Mississippi natives brought together through the Great Migration and employment at Flint’s General Motors plants. The group is recognized for its blend of traditional and contemporary gospel styles. Their repertoire includes renowned classics such as "Stand By Me" and "You Must Be Born Again." Their latest release, “Blessings Is On The Way," features a modern and uplifting musical approach.
AWD Band is a Lansing-based Smooth Jazz and R&B group known for delivering rich, soul-calming music with a polished and professional sound. Together, this lineup brings a unique blend of gospel, jazz, and rhythm to the riverfront.
BMRW Promotions, based in Lansing, MI, produces live music events, specializing in the annual "An Evening of Smooth Jazz" series. They promote national and local jazz artists, including 496 West, to educate and entertain audiences in the Michigan community. They also offer live entertainment for private events, weddings, and corporate gatherings.
All ages are welcome. Free to the public courtesy of the Community Foundation.
