Amarillo College invites the community to enjoy an evening of live music, local talent and summer tradition during the 2026 Jim Laughlin AC June Jazz Series. The annual concert series brings together accomplished regional musicians and jazz enthusiasts for free weekly performances throughout June.
“All of these groups bring something unique to the stage, from classic big band sounds to contemporary jazz influences,” said Jim Laughlin, AC professor of music. “The June Jazz Series has always been about creating a welcoming space where the community can come together to enjoy great music and celebrate the art of jazz.”
All concerts are free and begin at 7:30 p.m. this summer on the Washington Street Campus at the Experimental Theatre Porch. Audience members are also invited to stay for the After Hours Jam from 9-10 p.m. in the Amphitheater Pit, where musicians and guests can continue the evening with informal performances and collaboration.
This year’s [remaining] lineup includes a variety of styles and performers:
- June 16 — Polk Street Jazz
Polk Street Jazz will bring a blend of swing, Latin jazz and improvisational performances featuring many familiar area musicians.
- June 23 — Esquire Jazz Band
A longtime favorite among Panhandle audiences, the Esquire Jazz Band will perform selections rooted in classic dance band and swing-era traditions.
- June 30 — Jim Laughlin
The series concludes with a performance led by Jim Laughlin, celebrating the musical legacy and community spirit that inspired the annual concert series.
During each concert, Badger Central Café and Bookstore—located in the adjacent College Union Building—will be open for service and merchandise sales.
Concerts can also be heard on FM90/KACV-FM at 89.9 MHz or streamed online.
