The High Pets headline this week’s concert in the park

The series is set for four more weeks of bringing free music and entertainment to the community.

For the eighth week of the Levitt AMP Soldotna Music Series, Anchorage rock band The High Pets will be taking the stage at Soldotna Creek Park. Inspired by bands like Queens of the Stone Age and Soundgarden, The High Pets have a self-described gritty pop rock sound that combines intricate melodies with arena-style rock ’n’ roll. Opening for the High Pets will be Kyle Baltus, who is the drummer for another Alaska band, 36 Crazyfists.

The music will start at 6 p.m. and the concert is free for everyone thanks to a grant from the Levitt Foundation, an organization that helps small towns bring live music to their communities. In addition to the music, the evening will feature games, crafts and food from local vendors as well as a beer garden hosted by Kenai River Brewing Company. The concerts are held every Wednesday evening, and the series is set for four more weeks of bringing free music and entertainment to the community.
