CANCELLED: Lonesome Brothers Concert
Jul 14 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

**Out of an abundance of caution, the Lonesome Brothers Concert is CANCELLED for tonight (7/14). We have RESCHEDULED for next Friday (7/21) at 6:30pm** 

Come celebrate summer and local music with us on the Library Lawn! Happening rain or shine. In the event of rain, we will move the concert indoors.

“The Bros combine the best elements of American music with the raw honesty of their natural and totally believable lyrics. There’s real poetry here in the writing of Ray Mason and Jim Armenti that evokes the best of Hank Williams or Chuck Berry – a down-home conversational style that tells a story with vivid insight into the human condition.” –Paul Burton, Music Revue
