A crowd gathers as the Chris Canas Band begins playing Thursday, July 2, 2015 at Turley Park for the 37th annual Sunset Concert series organized by the Student Programming Council. Tim Porter, 30, attended the concert and said the series is important to Carbondale. It’s more than just the music that’s coming out being able to socialize with people that are there, he said. The music is almost secondary for what’s going on. Porter said he was born and raised in Carbondale, and is a longtime attendee of the annual concert series. The amount of people that changes from year to year when you come out is just amazing to me, he said.
