Mescalito, Metalachi, Achilles Wheel and Golden Cadillacs are among the bands slated to rock South Lake Tahoe’s Heavenly Village this summer.

“We’re bringing the heat this year,” said Dreu Murin, who produces and emcees the shows.

The free music is performed from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends. There will be 38 performances held between the Fire and Ice and Gunbarrel Tavern restaurants from 5:45 p.m. to 9:15. Most of the shows will be on Friday and Saturdays, along with concerts the first nine days of July.

“Our patrons deserve it after the last couple of years,” said Gary Casteel, the president of Shops at Heavenly Village. “The energy of live music in the village under the gondola with Heavenly in the background is truly special.”

The Heavenly Village mood is ebullient during the weekend shows.
