There are just three more Thursday shows this summer in South Lake Tahoe’s Lakeview Commons series, including this week with the Jimbo Scott String Band. Grover Anderson opens.

One of the Sierra Nevada region’s most popular bands for the past decade will perform Wednesday on the Valhalla Tahoe’ Grand Lawn. The Dead Winter Carpenters will be onstage from 4:30-6:30 p.m. to open a full lineup of concerts at the Tallac Historic Site on the shoreline off Emerald Bay Road in South Lake Tahoe. Twelve of the 13 concerts will be on Wednesdays, with three outside on the spectacular wooded green. Tickets are $80 for a two-person table and $180 for a table for six. The area outside the table zone is free for concertgoers, who can bring chairs and picnic dinners and drinks. Parking is limited, so motorists mostly park on Emerald Bay Road and walk a quarter-mile to the site. Cycling is a fantastic option.
