Kevin Russell brings his band Shinyribs to Zilker Park for Blues on the Green on July 19.

Blues on the Green, the long-running free summer concert series in Zilker Park, will feature three-band bills of local acts with headliners Shinyribs on July 19 and Black Joe Lewis on July 20, sponsor ACL Radio announced Monday.

The headliners will take the stage at 8:45 p.m. and play for 75 minutes. Joining Shinyribs on the first show (which falls on a Tuesday) will be Tomar & the FCs at 7:45 p.m. and Scott Strickland at 7 p.m. Opening for Black Joe Lewis on the series finale the next night are Mélat at 7:45 p.m. and Angélica Rahe at 7 p.m.

The July concerts follow two mid-June events that featured indie band Wild Child and a revue organized by Grammy-winning ensemble Grupo Fantasma. The series began in the early 1990s and has featured top-drawing acts including Gary Clark Jr. and Shakey Graves, among dozens of other local acts.
