This Sunday, the Salem Summer Concert Series welcomes Paige Marie (Whitehill), a 2023 Salem High School graduate who has been gracing the stage since she was 8 years old. Paige is now a senior at the University of Akron and has been performing with her dad (1990 SHS graduate Brian Whitehill) since 2023. In addition, on guitar is Todd Stokes (1988 SHS graduate), who also has the distinction of being Paige's seventh-grade math teacher. The band is rounded out by close friends Sam Morris and Claudia Spencer. On keys will be a special guest keyboardist Mike Adams. After singing the national anthem, Paige will entertain with favorites from multiple decades of rock, pop and country music, from Journey to Adele, from ABBA to Carrie Underwood. Admission is free and the concert starts at 6 p.m. at Waterworth Memorial Park. Smokey's Patty Wagon will be serving American classics, while Totally 80's Ice Ice Cream Shoppe will be available for dessert. Tickets will be sold for 50/50 drawings and for prizes donated by local businesses and by friends of the concert series. Bring lawn chairs or blankets. Parking is available at the park's Sunset Boulevard entrance, or the Superior Avenue entrance, with limited handicap accessible parking.
