The Evansville Arts Coalition will close out the summer season with two concerts in one week.
At 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, the coalition will host Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboys for a street concert in front of the Evansville Art Center.
The Cowboys take their name from the 1972 Lefty Frizzell song, and they honor the music of that era by performing traditional, classic country music, with a nod or two to early rock. Their performances are known for capturing the spirit and sound of the original recordings.
Concert-goers should arrive early and bring lawn chairs. The art coalition promises room for dancing, as well as cold water to drink. In case of rain, the concert will move to the Railroad & 2nd Event Center, also in Evansville.
The following Friday, Sept. 2, Blue Wolf Duo will perform in the art center at 7 p.m. This husband-and-wife musical couple, Jerry and Shirley Spanhanks, perform throughout Minnesota on banjo, fiddle, accordion, dobro and guitar. Their bluegrass and country performances draw from Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, and George Jones.
