In 2017, Stateline standouts Denny Diamond, Chip Messiner, and the Trinadora Duo (Janel Nelson & Ron Holm) combined their talents to create a concert celebrating the music of Neil Diamond (Denny), John Denver (Chip), Patsy Cline (Janel), and Roy Orbison (Ron). The event was a tremendous success, and many listeners who attended the original concert have asked for a reunion show.

In response, Denny, Chip, and Trinadora are offering two reunion concerts (a 3pm matinee and a 7pm evening show) on August 23rd. The events are a special addition to the Concerts On The Creek series at 4500 Spring Creek Road, Rockford. For each event, doors open an hour before the concert starts. Packaged snacks and soft beverages will be available.

Tickets are $10 at https://www.springcreekucc.org/concerts . Those who are unable to buy online may phone 815.979.1949 or email COTC4500@gmail.com to make special arrangements.

Sean Gaskell brings music of West Africa to the library in an after-hours concert that features the kora, a 21-stringed West African harp!

Sean studied under the extensive instruction of Moriba Kuyateh and the late Malamini Jobarteh in Gambia, and both Youssoupha Cissokho and Mamadou Cissokho in Senegal. The kora is traditionally played by oral historians known as Griots. Many songs featured on the kora preserve an 800-year history dating back to the founding of the Mande empire. Sean has performed at over 400 libraries and a multitude of k-12 schools, colleges, universities, and assisted living facilities throughout the United States and Canada.

This event is free and open to all. No registration is required. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. and music will begin at 6:30 p.m. It is graciously sponsored by Gretchen and Charles Moore.
