DESCRIPTION:\nThu 7/9 @ 6:30-8:30PM\nIt’s the 42nd year for the Akron Art
  Museum’s Downtown@Dusk series\, one of the longest running\, if not THE
  longest running\, free outdoor summer concert series in the area\, taking
  place in its Bud and Susie Rogers Garden.\nIt’s got four shows on the c
 alendar this year\, taking place on Thursdays throughout July\, and showca
 sing some of the best of what the Akron area has to offer across a range o
 f music genres.\nIt starts this week with a newish face on the series\, Ak
 ron’s seven-piece roots-rock ensemble Wishgarden\, who debuted on the se
 ries last year. Incorporating instruments such as flute\, sax\, trombone a
 nd even djembe\, the entertaining group performs a mix of its own tunes an
 d some classic covers (Dylan\, Buffett\, Cat Stevens\, which it arranges i
 n its own style\, incorporating soul\, folk and pop influences. They perfo
 rm this week Thursday July 9.\nThe Shootouts\, who perform on July 16\, ar
 e a newcomer in this series\, although not new to Northeast Ohioans: their
  honkytonk-influenced alt country sound has already earned them a lot of s
 uccess outside the area with national tours\, Americana chart-topping albu
 ms\, and multiple appearances on the Grand Ole Opry. And band leader Ryan 
 Humbert has been a mover &amp\; shaker in the local Akron music scene for 
 a couple of decades.\nThe last two groups in the series are well known fro
 m frequent past Downtown@Dusk appearances: woman-fronted reggae ensemble U
 mojah Nation on July 23\, and the legendary Numbers Band (15 60 75)\, regu
 lars at Downtown@Dusk\, who are now in their 56th year of performing their
  distinctively frenetic blues/jazz/rock sound. They play on July 30.\nYou 
 can bring a chair or blanket\, and there will be snacks and beverages avai
 lable for purchase at the bar and the Museum Gift Shop. The series is all
