Concerts to take place on four Thursdays in Town Center Park
Hit Machine, Conjunto Alegre, Jennifer Batten and Full Steam, and Band After Midnight (ABBA tribute) will be the performers for the four weeks of the 2026 Wilsonville Rotary Summer Concerts, the Rotary Club of Wilsonville announced. All of the shows are FREE.
Hit Machine will be making their seventh appearance at the series, second-most all time. Meanwhile, Jennifer Batten and Conjunto Alegre will be making their third, and Band After Midnight will be making their first appearance. Full details on all four concerts can be found at WilsonvilleConcerts.com.
“We are excited about this star-studded lineup,” said Rotarian Jaimy Beltran, club president-elect, who will take office as club president July 1 and serve as emcee for the concerts. “There’s an old saying about offering something for everyone, but we think we are offering everything for everyone, as these are all bands anyone can enjoy. Fun is the mission. Our goal is to bring the community together to celebrate summer, renew connections and meet new people while having a great time.”
The Rotary Concerts began in 2002 as a thanks to the Wilsonville community for supporting the club and its projects. The series is produced by the Wilsonville Rotary Foundation and supported by numerous sponsors, including premier sponsors MAPS Credit Union and Oregon State Credit Union. It’s also made possible in part by a grant from the City of Wilsonville.
At the concerts, patrons will have the opportunity to make a donation to End Polio Now. Eradicating the disease has been the signature cause of Rotary International. Rotary’s efforts, along with those of its partners, have resulted in a 99.9% case reduction since 1988. Supporters of the Rotary Club of Wilsonville have given more than $114,786 to help us end polio forever. Polio remains endemic in two countries — Pakistan and Afghanistan — with isolated cases occurring elsewhere. All donations will be matched two-for-one by the Gates Foundation, a major partner of Rotary International.
This year's lineup
July 16 — Hit Machine — Large crowds each year practically demand that Hit Machine, led by dynamic frontman Bart Hafeman, be included in the lineup. Offering an assortment of hits that anyone and everyone can enjoy — from disco classics (like the Bee Gees) to aughts legends (Justin Timberlake) and on to the present day (Bruno Mars, Harry Styles) — Hit Machine never fails to reach deep and light up the stage. Their powerful mix of talent, showmanship, and crowd interaction consistently wins over audiences of all ages. Every show becomes a full-scale celebration.
July 23 — Conjunto Alegre — Get ready to dance and celebrate! To hear Conjunto Alegré perform is like grabbing your passport and taking a musical whirlwind tour of Latin America. The band, led by Aquiles Montas, plays salsa from all over: Bachata and Merengue from the Dominican Republic, Cumbia from Columbia, Salsa from Puerto Rico and Venezuela, and Cha-Cha-Cha and traditional Boleros from everywhere else. You can be certain your spirits will be lifted and you will be entertained.
July 30 — Jennifer Batten and Full Steam — Jennifer’s phenomenal talent on the electric guitar has taken her all over the world and still does to this day. She is often mentioned in conversations about the best guitarists in the world. However, she knows better than anyone that it's not about showing off — it's about serving the song, no matter the genre, from rock to pop to dance to R&B. She did that during 10 years as lead guitarist for the "King of Pop," Michael Jackson, going on three world tours and memorably performing alongside him at Super Bowl XXVI. She has also collaborated with Cirque du Soleil and with fellow guitar legend Jeff Beck as well.
August 6 — Band After Midnight (ABBA tribute) — Band After Midnight is an all-star ensemble made up of members of some of the Northwest's most celebrated tribute acts, including Taken by the Sky (Fleetwood Mac tribute), Glass of Hearts (Blondie tribute), and Life During Wartime (Talking Heads tribute). Merging their vast experience and unique styles, they capture the quintessential look and sound of ABBA, transporting audiences back to the golden era of pop music. With meticulous attention to detail, they recreate the harmonies, costumes, and energy that made ABBA a worldwide phenomenon.
