The Levitt Pavilion in downtown Arlington's Founders Plaza begins its premiere season of "Free Music Under The Stars" at 7:30 tonight with a bang--a nuclear polka explosion, to be more precise--when Brave Combo takes the stage. Their performance follows a ribbon cutting and appearances by "local dignitaries." Children's musician Eddie Coker performs at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow, followed by a 7:30 p.m. show from Peruvian musicians Wayanay Inka and family-friendly cover band Crawfish on Sunday.
The series continues through Halloween with performances at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays, along with a "Family Fun" show at 5:30 p.m. each Saturday. Each night will feature a different genre of music, including "Musica Latina," "Americana," "Family Fun," "World Music" and the all-encompassing "Music Cafe." Check the schedule here.--Jesse Hughey
