music South Bay Summer Concerts by Mark McDermott Summer is like one big, ongoing concert in the South Bay, with music in parks, plazas, libraries, up in the hills and of course on the beach. The Hermosa Beach Summer Concert Series is at the apex of the scene, celebrating beach life every Sunday night in August with a mix of nationally headlining bands — think Everclear, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, and the Door’s Robby Krieger — attracting a crowd of 10,000 blissed out musical souls as the sun goes down on the beach. Concert guru Allen Sanford, who has produced the Hermosa concerts for the last 10 years and Music on the Meadows at Terranea the last five years, will take his game to another level with new festivals in October and next spring at Redondo Beach’s Seaside Lagoon. Though the lineups have yet to be announced, the intention is to create a nationally prominent West Coast music festival. “I just tried to find a way to contribute positivity to the world,” said Sanford, who owns and operates music club Saint Rocke and several local restaurants but has tapped into a larger vision with this ambitious series of concerts. “I found my niche. The world is in a weird place right now. So if we give 10,000 people an afternoon to forget about their problems and all the bad things happening in the world, then we’ve succeeded.” Nothing brings people together quite like music, and the scene at any of the summer concerts listed here delivers moments of simple communal joy. “Every year there is probably one song that is sung where everybody gets in sync,” Sanford said of the Hermosa Beach Summer Concerts. “I think last year it was Everclear, other years the English Beat, Jimmy Buffett — where everyone on the beach is singing the same words, dancing to the same rhythm. There’s just really a beautiful energy to that. It’s really fun to watch.” The Hermosa Summer Concerts take place August 5, 12, 19, and 26 beginning at 5 p.m. at the pier. Concerts at the Beach at the Hermosa Pier draw big crowds and big name bands. This year’s concerts are every Sunday in August.
