Join us for Summer Nights in Rice featuring Café Accordion Orchestra! Celebrate summer with live music, dancing, and community vibes at Summer Nights in Rice, a free outdoor concert series held on select Thursdays from 5–7 PM, June through August, in beautiful Rice Park. Grab a bite or sip at a nearby restaurant, then enjoy an evening of incredible local talent, festive energy, and warm-weather fun. After the show, keep the night going by heading to Lowertown Sounds in nearby Mears Park for even more live music!
Dan Newton’s Café Accordion Orchestra (CAO) performs an eclectic mix full of French flare, Latin heat and Bohemian attitude and has been delighting audiences and dancers alike since 1995. Their high level of musicianship and passion for performance makes them an entertaining concert act as well as a great dance band. CAO is led by Dan Newton on accordion and vocals, with Eric Mohring on mandolin, violin and vocals, Mike Cramer on guitar and vocals, Erik Lillestol on bass and vocals and Joe Steinger on percussion.
