EAC to feature area musicians in concert

Talk about it

The Evansville Art Coalition (EAC) will be hosting a concert on Friday, September 11 at the Evansville Art Center.

The concert, which will run from 7 to 8:30 p.m., features three area musicians – Ellie Wallace from Alexandria, Arlyn Swenson from Hoffman and Gary Mattson of Alexandria. This is a free-will offering event.

About the musicians

Although she is only 11-years-old, Ellie Wallace has been singing and performing for years.

She has appeared on the Jaycees Jingle Bells Telethon, has performed the National Anthem at major events and has performed at a number of other area events.

Wallace will be teaming up with her grandpa, Tom Sellin of Alexandria, who will be accompanying her on a 12-string guitar – and lots of harmony.

Together, the pair performs a wide variety of music from several eras in their own unique arrangements.

Arlyn Swenson is a jazz guitarist and vocalist, who regularly plays in local bands and for local drama performances.

Gary Mattson has been involved in music since grade school – either as a drummer or a singer and guitar player.

Although he enjoys a variety of types and styles of music, he is most comfortable singing a mixture of folk, classic country and gospel music. He has performed many duets, singing both lead and harmony, but is equally at ease singing by himself.
