The Max & Emily’s Summer Concert Series started with a vision of owner Tim Brockman and General Manager Chris “Elmo” Walton back in the fall of 2008.
With local musician Monique Berry asking to perform her first local show in eight years at Max & Emily’s, Brockman and Walton worked with Downtown Development Coordinator Michelle Sponseller on how to close down Broadway one night in August to put on a free show for the community. With over 750 people in attendance, the show was a great success and the vision was born.
The following year Downtown Mt Pleasant and Isabella Bank joined Max & Emily’s as official sponsors. In 2009 The Max & Emily’s Summer Concert Series was officially started with three shows that summer. Brian Vander Ark, lead singer of The Verve Pipe; The Saucecats, a local band out of Remus with a funky style; and Monique Berry returning to close out the year.
In 2010 both Brian Vander Ark and The Saucecats returned to play the series drawing over 2000 people for the combined nights. The conclusion of the year saw singer, songwriter, actor Jeff Daniels added to the lineup and he brought in the biggest crowd yet. With over 2200 people in attendance it was the biggest show to date.
The 2011 series added a fourth sponsor in Central Michigan University and is posed to be the best series yet. Kicking off on June 9th, The Ragbirds, will bring their folk-rock sound to Mid Michigan. Having performed all over the country and internationally, this quintet is sure to have the crowd up and dancing on their feet.
On July 28th, Toad the Wet Sprocket will bring their talents to the stage. Selling over 5 million albums they will bring a pair of Billboard #1 songs to Mt Pleasant for the first time.
Jeff Daniels will return to close the series out on August 20th, and will be bringing his close friend, and ours, Brian Vander Ark along to perform with him.
As always, the concerts are free to all and are family oriented. So grab a couple of lawn chairs, the family, and a hunger for both great Max & Emily’s food and amazing music and we’ll see you downtown this summer!
