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 9: Ricky Pittman
A unique brand of Southern folk is only one of Rickey's talents! Also a storyteller, author, teacher, and adjunct English instructor -- and Grand Prize Winner of the 1998 Ernest Hemingway Short Story Competition -- Rickey presents his stories, music, and programs at schools, libraries, Civil War Reenactments, and festivals throughout the South. You can check out his fifteen published books, five music CDs, single releases, and much more online at bardofthesouth.com, or better yet, just come by the park today and kick back for this rich mix of vocals and Southern folk flavor at our second outing of the Series.
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.
