Petra's Recession Seven will play at the Village Green at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 28, as part of the "Summer Sounds on the Green" concert series. The Hoffman Estates Arts Commission and the Hoffman Estates Park District sponsor the concert series.

A lively, traditional '20s/'30s jazz/swing group, Petra's Recession Seven is a gathering of well-known Chicago instrumentalists. The band has been featured at the Chicago Jazz Festival, Cedar Basin Jazz Festival, a variety of regional jazz clubs and societies, and, in 2012, released "Live In Chicago," an on location recording.

Concerts in this series take place Thursdays at 7 p.m. at the Virginia Mary Hayter Village Green, 5510 Prairie Stone Parkway, across the street from the Sears Centre Arena off Route 72 in the Poplar Creek at 59/90 "Entertainment District."

Admission is free. Bring a blanket or lawn chair to the amphitheater. If you are bringing a picnic, do not bring glass bottles, glasses or glass containers for the safety of barefoot patrons.

Levy Restaurants will be selling a variety of food at the concession stand. Beer, wine and mixed drinks will also be available for purchase.
