Spin Doctors To Appear At Springfield's Downtown Concert

The Stearns Square Summer Concert series played host to one of the most popular bands of the 90s on July 10 as part of Springfield's annual summer concert series.

Spin Doctors scored two Top 20 hits in the early 90s with "Two Princes," and "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong." Led by front man Chris Barron, the group is touring to support the 2013 release "If the River Was Whiskey."

The band brought the largest crowd of the season to date to the downtown Springfield venue.

The Stearns Square Summer Concert series takes place from June through August on Thursday nights in downtown Springfield's historic Stearns Square. The square serves as the hub of the city's entertainment district and vibrant Club Quarter.

The square is centrally located between Worthington Street and Bridge Street.
The long-running series began as City Block in the summer of 2000 when the city closed off part of Main Street in downtown Springfield and made an outdoor, festival-type setting for live concerts.

The following year, the series moved to Stearns Square in an effort to highlight the Club Quarter's eclectic mix of restaurants, nightclubs, office space, and market-rate housing.
This season, the concert series will bring in regional and national acts like The Smithereens, John Eddie, and Roomful of Blues.

The concerts are free and open to the public and the music begins at 8 p.m.
The Stearns Square Summer Concert Series is produced by the Springfield Business Improvement District.
