Welcome to 'Playing With Fire,' a series of free blues concerts held all summer long!
Presented by First National Bank
"Playing With Fire" began in 2004 as a gift to the citizens of the City of Omaha. It was the dream of businessman, Jeff Davis, former CEO of Davis Erection. to share the music he loves with a city he loves. Thanks to the City of Omaha, several corporate sponsors, and numerous dedicated volunteers, that dream culminated in a hugely successful five-concert series held at Lewis & Clark Landing, Riverfront Drive, on the banks of the Missouri River. The inaugural 2004 "Playing With Fire" concert series attracted thousands of music fans to Omaha's downtown riverfront area to hear national and local acts perform. Touted as 'the best music event held in Omaha,' each of the five family-friendly concerts were attended by 6,000-10,000 area residents and out-of-town visitors. At the end of the series, Mayor Mike Fahey presented Jeff Davis the Key to the City of Omaha for "his vision, support, and promotion of the summertime events." Mayor Fahey stated "The 'Playing With Fire' Concert Series and Jeff Davis are perfect examples of what makes Omaha the great city it is." Every year the concert series continues to grow...in attendance and in recognition. This year's series includes five shows to be held at Lewis & Clark Landing on Omaha's riverfront.
