Levitt Pavilion Arlington begins the last segment of its free concert season Sept. 2, when a Levitt tradition continues for the eighth year and Grammy Award-winners Brave Combo perform their mosh-pit polka at 8 p.m.

The Baylor Orthopedic Spine Hospital 2016 Fall Concert Season continues with free music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday through Oct. 2. All concerts begin at 8 p.m. The Levitt ends its concert year with its annual benefit concert with The B-52s on Oct. 8.

In between the first weekend and the benefit, the Levitt welcomes back a mix of returning artists and new artists.

Paul Thorn is one of the artists making his Levitt debut on Sept. 4. He is known for his bluesy rock with its Southern tone. Others making their Levitt debuts include The Peterson Brothers, the sister quartet known as Shel, jazz legend Jimmy Cobb, The Nightowls and country/rock artist, Bart Crow.

Celtic rock favorites The Killdares will play again this fall before they retire at the end of the year. Other Levitt favorites returning are the alt/pop experience of Delta Rae, The Voice finalist, Aquile; the vintage soul group, Soul Track Mind; the smooth sounding Seryn, country artist Daphne Willis, Cas Haley and his island-inflected pop, alt/country royalty Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis, and the original honky-tonk hero, Billy Joe Shaver.

The Fall Concert Season calendar is on the Levitt's website, levittpavilionarlington.org, and its free mobile app, Levitt Arlington. The listings include information about the artists, the artists' websites and other helpful information, like what to bring to the Levitt and where to park (or not park since we're talking about Downtown Arlington!).

Tickets to see Texas Health/Arlington Memorial Hospital presents The B-52s also are available on the website and the app. The B-52s concert is the only Levitt concert that requires a ticket purchase with all proceeds going to support more than 50 free concerts. Tickets to The B-52s are $40 for general admission before the concert and $50 at the gate Oct. 8, if they aren't sold out. The United Service Association for Health Care Foundation's VIP experience tickets also are available for $195 and include VIP parking, a preconcert dinner with live and silent auctions before the concert, and reserved seats in the VIP section at the concert.
