Alpine Bank of Durango and the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College have once again teamed up to present the Concerts @ The Park summer series, which will feature a diverse roster of bands that will perform on Thursdays, June 16 through July 28.

Kicking off the series Thursday will be Beatles tribute band Doctor Robert, based in Crested Butte.

Back by popular demand, Doctor Robert – named for the Beatles song of the same name on “Revolver,” rotates through the iconic band’s catalog, so no two shows are the same. They’re known for bringing a modern take on the Beatles’ classics.
