Fall 24 Brown Bag: Doug Duffey and Dan Sumner

The October 2024 Brown Bag Concert Series is RIGHT around the corner and we can't wait! Mark your calendar for each Wednesday in October for a midweek lunch hour to relax to the sounds of our area’s best established and emerging musicians on stage in Palace Park at 220 DeSiard Street (beside The Palace). Public parking is available on the street, as well as at 4th and DeSiard. Tell your friends and plan on enjoying some great tunes in good company.
Bring a picnic of your favorites, or treat yourself to a $6 sack lunch on site from Newk’s. Mulhearn’s will again provide free cookies to make the events extra sweet! Picnic blankets and lawn chairs are encouraged! Of course, the performances are FREE, thanks to our gracious sponsors ECHO Development, First Horizon, Mulhearn’s, Newk’s, Paramount Healthcare Consultants of West Monroe, and City of Monroe.
Now... who's on stage?!
October 30: Doug Duffey and Dan Sumner
We have a bonus 5th Wednesday this October, so we are thrilled to offer a bonus performance for the Series by two incredibly talented local voices. Doug Duffey has traveled far and wide but is true to his Mississippi Delta roots. His talent has garnered him international success, a number of critically acclaimed CDs, and spots in the Louisiana and National Blues Halls of Fame. Joining him is Dan Sumner, an internationally-acclaimed guitarist, producer, and music educator based in Monroe. These two seasoned performers are the musical personification of Memphis soul, Delta blues, and New Orleans rhythm and blues. They're bringing all that and more to wrap up our Fall 2024 Series and launch us into the holiday season!
In case of rain, we’ll move indoors to the old Palace Dept. store, next door to the park. For more information or to confirm the show will go on in case of rain, call the Arts Council office at 397.6717 or 397.6754.
