Indie-pop family band AJR kicks off Tampa Bay Rays summer concert series on Friday

Remember those summers when you could stick around after a Rays game, and either soothe the pain of a loss, or celebrate a win with a concert from nationally recognized artists?

Reminisce no more, baseball fans. The Rays don’t lose much these days, and after an eight-year drought, the Summer Concert Series is finally set to return for select home games. While a full schedule has yet to be announced, Adam, Jack and Ryan Metzger—aka AJR—kick the series off after a tilt against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Expect a few singles off of an upcoming album—currently known as TMM—some home run singles, as well as the band’s usual, live behind the scenes look at their writing and recording process.

Admission to the Tampa Bay Rays Summer Concert Series kickoff at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg on Friday, May 19 is included with your game ticket, and the concert is supposed to start 30 minutes after the final out. S
