Live After Five announces lineup – Spring concert series to begin April 4

The Downtown Business Association of Baton Rouge announced the 2014 lineup of Live After Five at a reveal party Friday at North Boulevard Town Square.

Jonathon Boogie Long, Marcia Ball, David St. Romain and more are scheduled to perform in the annual free concert series.

Mayor Kip Holden announced the lineup and says he was buying music books from Zeagler’s Music Store yesterday in hopes to appear and sing at a concert. “We have good people in a great city,” he says. “This is an event to bring people here and show them what’s going on and showcase our talent.”

Downtown Development District Executive Director Davis Rhorer says the concert series started 16 years ago and crowds were slim then, but now, “Live After Five has grown into the premier concert series in the state.”

All spring Live After Five performances will take place 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at North Boulevard Town Square.
