The city of Bremen is preparing a night of free music for the next three months to provide entertainment for area residents with the help of Aaron’s Sales.

Sewell Mill Director Kristen Gerspacher and Aaron’s Sales in Bremen are putting on the Bremen Town Musicians Concert Series July 31, Aug. 28 and Sept. 18 at 8 p.m. on the Buchanan Street parking lot in Bremen.

“We have three different musical acts on those three dates,” Gerspacher said. “We have Jerry Rogers’ beach music in July, The Groove Gypsies’ classic rock covers in August, and the Buncombe String Band’s bluegrass in September. We really try to mix up a variety of talent so we can appeal to mass amounts of people.”

Gerspacher used her background in radio sales to come up with a creative solution to the lack of money the city could provide to help fund the enterprise.

“The city told me that there was no money to do anything and that I needed to be creative,” she said.

The result was a concert series named after a Brother’s Grimm tale, “Town Musicians in Bremen,” set near Bremen, Germany, in which four animals, discarded by their owners, make a pilgrimage to Bremen to become musicians.

“Because the city doesn’t have the budget, Aaron’s stepped up and said they’d be the community partner,” she said.

The Downtown Development Authority will be on hand to sell snacks and drinks. Gerspacher also said borrowing industrial-sized fans from the city was a possibility. Attendees are asked to start arriving at 7:30 p.m. and musicians will play for up to two hours.
