2025 Classic 96 Live on the Square Concert Series; David Zollo

East Burlington and North Main Street
Fairfield, IA
Map to Event

June 28, 2025
7:00 pm · 9:00 pm

Below is the schedule for the 21st year of Fairfield's Live on the Square. This year we will have a diverse lineup of 6 artists, starting June 28th and running through September 13th. All shows start at 7, and are made possible through the generosity of The City of Fairfield, Classic 96, Visitfairfield.com, Libertyville Savings Bank and C1st Credit Union.

6/28/25 - DAVID ZOLLO

Since bursting onto the midwestern music scene with the band High and Lonesome in 1992, David Zollo has had a busy career. Along with touring, in the U.S and Europe, with High and Lonesome and his current band, The Body Electric, Zollo has recorded 7 records of his own material, including the most recent, 2015's "For Hire." 

In addition, he founded and operated the seminal, Iowa-based, roots music label, Trailer Records, and recorded the music of Bo Ramsey; Joe and Vicki Price; Greg Brown; The Pines; as well as his own work. Despite the many things Zollo has done during his career, it is as a live performer that many feel he's at his best. 

 

7/19/25 - Jordan Messerole

From the depths of his Iowa roots, multi-award winning songwriter Jordan Messerole writes songs that vary as greatly as the wild flowers in the native tall grass. Messerole does frequently write about that flora, as well as the fauna of the region. Not to mention all of its wild life. Not one to shy away from subject matter, the songs can frequently meander across the lines between love and loss, success and failure, or life and death. Messerole masterfully blends the sounds of his guitars with thoughtful lyrics, an engaging stage presence, and often rack harmonica to tell gritty American tales that are bound to evoke emotion from all of his listeners 

8/2/25 Brian Johannesen with special guest Steve McClain

Brian Johannesen is an Iowa City singer-songwriter in the vein of John Prine, Guy Clark, and Steve Earle. Through a fingerpicking guitar style and a gritty, well-traveled voice, Johannesen writes songs that carry equal parts comedy and gravity. He brings a style to the long Americana tradition that is uniquely his own. Helping get the evening started will be Fairfield’s own music
laureate Steve McLain. 

8/23/25 The Hi Council 

The Hi Council is an alternative/grunge rock band that also plays a few country and pop songs in their creative style. With an evening of originals and amazing covers,The Hi Council consists of singer (Tugg Hill), guitarist (Riley Brown), bassist (Carter Spalla), and drummer (Chase Copeland), Live on the Square is very excited to have The Hi Council joining us in Central Park.

9/12  Drive-Ins 50’s and 60’s Rock and Roll Duo

Get ready to go back in time with the amazing Drive-Ins 50’s and 60’s Rock and Roll Duo. Performing HITS from Roy Orbison,  Beach Boys,  Eddie Cochran, The Beatles, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, Chuck Berry, and more…. The Drive-Ins have made a name for themselves across eastern Iowa as a good time summer band. With The Drive-Ins, you can expect an energetic, engaging evening with memories, dancing and more… even while you're doing the Twist!!! 

 

9/13/25 The Beaker Brothers 

For over 15 years the Beaker Brothers Band has been paying homage to the original Jam Bands of the late 60’s and early 70’s – the Allman Brothers, Clapton, Santana, Little Feat, Rolling Stones, James Gang, the Doors, Steely Dan, Neil Young, CCR, and many more. The Beaker Brothers Band isn’t a nostalgia act or a tribute show, they play music that has been in our heads and our hearts since we first heard it. This is the music we played in our youth. And we’re as awed by it today as then. We’re thrilled that we’re not alone.
