AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — Officials with Amarillo College announced the schedule for the 27th Jim Laughlin June Jazz outdoor concert series.

The concerts, which are free and open to the public, will be on the Oeschger Family Mall, located in the center of Amarillo College’s Washington Street campus. In the event of rain, the program will move inside the Concert Hall Theater on campus.
