Corky Segal, Will Tillson to open Long Grove concert series
The Long Grove Arts and Music Council kicks off its 14th season on Sunday, July 14, with the legendary Corky Segal performing with blues artist Will Tillson. This will be an evening of the best blues music Chicago has to offer.
The second concert follows on Aug. 4, when Creole Stomp will entertain with their classic spicy Cajun music. On Aug. 11, Sons of the Never Wrong are back for the third time to entertain with their witty folk music. To end the season, The Don Stiernberg Quartet will be on stage Aug. 18, performing their master of mandolin music.
This season will again be an abbreviated concert series due to the continuing renewal of downtown Long Grove. Access to the concert venue remains unencumbered. The closest parking is available at Kildeer Elementary School at 3100 Old McHenry Road, in Long Grove.
The Long Grove Arts and Music Council concerts are family friendly, at a casual outdoor venue. Concerts take place on Towner Green directly across from the Village Tavern. Concerts begin at 4 p.m. and end at 6 p.m. Bring your chairs and blankets early to get a prime location, and then wander the shops of Long Grove. Bring food and drink of your choice or order from one of Long Grove's restaurants to enjoy during the concert.
This concert series would not be possible without the contributions of many individuals, businesses and groups within the village of Long Grove. The village of Long Grove provided a grant to kick off the season.
The Long Grove Arts and Music Council also wishes to give thanks to the Towner family, who for years has allowed the council to use their property for the concerts. Other important supporters of the Long Grove Arts and Music Council include the Long Grove Confectionary, the Underwood family, the Rotary of Long Grove, Skycrest Animal Hospital, the Long Grove Business and Community Partners and the Marshall family. Without the support of the above individuals, groups and businesses, the concert series would not be possible.
Admission is free, but donations are appreciated to support and to help fund future concerts. The generous support of those attending the concerts enables the Long Grove Arts and Music Council to continue to present fine quality entertainment.
