SEP 4-5 GENEVA IL SUN-MON LABOR DAY
Fox Valley Folk Festival http://foxvalleyfolk.com/
details to be announced at the FOx Valley Site. One of my all time
favorite festivals. Daytime sets, workshops, jams and food on the island
park in Geneva. Technically a free fest but you will be asked for a
donation. It is the donation that pays for the musicians! You can
bring your dog, fishing pole, or bike. You will want to bring a lawn chair
or blanket. Great time both days -- no after dark concerts except for a
ghost story telling Sunday night.
SEP 24 SAT GRAND RAPIDS, MI
8 PM Concert for Grand River Folk Arts Society. Wealthy Theater Annex, 1110
Wealthy Street. This date coincides with Art Prize week in Grand Rapids. SO you
can walk around during the day looking at the cool art installations, then take
a load off your feet and come to my concert just a short drive to the east on
Wealthy Street. There was some confusion in August about the September
weekend date. Rest asured September 24 is the date! https://sites.google.com/site/grfolkarts/concerts
NOV 4, FRI. EAST LANSING MI
7:30 PM (new time) Ten Pound Fiddle Concert. This year my hometown show for
the Ten Pound Fiddle will be at Edgewood United Church, 469 N. Hagadorn Rd, East
Lansing, MI 48823. This will be the Friday just prior to voting for Prez.
Might be an interesting time! Tickets available in advance and at the door:
