Santa Clara’s summer concert series wraps up tonight with The Hit Men, a powerhouse group of rock-and-pop veterans who’ve played with some of music’s biggest stars.

The final show runs from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Live Oak Park, 641 Moreland Way.

The Hit Men aren’t just a tribute act — they’re the original musicians and sidemen behind countless hits. Members have toured and recorded with legends like Frankie Valli, Carole King, Elton John, and Foreigner. 

Expect a high-energy trip through decades of chart-topping songs, played by the artists who helped make them famous.

Friday’s concert closes out the Concerts in the Park series, presented by the City’s Cultural Commission and Parks & Recreation Department.

Admission is free and open to all ages. Bring lawn chairs, blankets, and dinner to enjoy under the summer sky. Food trucks may also be available.
