The DeKalb Municipal Band will present a Salute to the Fourth of July at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Hopkins Park band shell. This celebration of the country’s birthday with patriotic and American music, headlines vocalist Zachary Harris, the trumpet and trombone sections, special recognition honoring members and veterans of the armed forces, and musical fireworks.

Harris has been singing in the area for the past seven years and is a veteran soloist on the DeKalb Municipal Band Hopkins Park stage. He’s been featured in many Stagecoach Players shows, performed on the Egyptian Theatre stage, and has volunteered his talents to retirement homes, charities and churches.

Harris has recorded three piano/vocal cover albums, and his band, The Zach Harris Band, has recorded its debut original music album, “My Stand,” which is due out this summer. He performs solo on Friday nights at Tapa la Luna in downtown DeKalb, and for the past few months has been serving as a praise and worship leader at Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church.
