Summer Concert Series-Crow Hill
Join us for the next summer concert on Sunday, June 14th from 4-6pm at the Lunada Plaza Park. Crow Hill Band is a South Bay rock band based in Redondo Beach, known for delivering high-energy live performances featuring hit songs from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s. The band blends professional musicians with local industry executives, bringing performances focus on crowd-favorite rock classics and danceable hits that appeal to a wide range of audiences. Their name is derived from the crows who nightly fly off the Palos Verdes hillside and spend the evening in the sanctuary of the Hollywood Riviera, giving the name Crow Hill to their hometown.
The band also emphasizes community involvement, serving as the host band for the annual “Rock Your Pink” event, which raises awareness and funds to support cancer patients and their families.
LBHOA Summer Concert-in-the-Park
Bring your blankets, friends, and community spirit and join us at Lunada Bay Park as we kick off our 2026 Summer Concert-in-the-Park series with “Saxon Weiss.”
Two years ago, PV Magazine featured a PV Intermediate School sixth-grader, Saxon Weiss, whose musical journey is a captivating story that showcases his passion and talent for music. His love for live performances is evident, and he aspires to be recognized for his ability to play various styles of music rather than confining himself to a single genre. Currently proficient in classical, jazz, blues, rock, Hawaiian slack key, bluegrass, and country, Saxon has not only mastered diverse genres but has also ventured into songwriting. Saxon is set to release his highly anticipated album later this year.
Three more concerts are planned for this season. Want more concerts like these? We’d love to add additional dates–community donations make it possible. Please consider contributing to help us expand the series!
