Free Nick Lynch concert in Hoffman Estate

Nick Lynch will play at the Village Green at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 13, 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.

Growing up in small-town Watseka, Illinois, Nick Lynch was born to be a country singer. You may have seen him on American Idol or rocking New Year's Eve on ABC … now Lynch has become one of the hottest country music performers in the Chicago area.

He's a little bit country, he's a little bit rock 'n' roll, and he's guaranteed to bring the party wherever he goes.

The Virginia Mary Hayter Village Green is at 5510 Prairie Stone Parkway, across the street from the Sears Centre Arena in the Poplar Creek at 59/90 Entertainment District.

Admission is free. Bring a blanket or a lawn chair to the amphitheater. Picnics are welcome.

Levy Restaurants will be on hand to sell a variety of traditional snack foods as well as unique items, while the Hoffman Estates Beer Garden will be open and offering traditional German fare. Beer and wine will also be offered for sale.
