Please stay healthy and mark your calendars for our just-around-the-calendar corner outdoor concert schedule: Ariane Lydon, Saturday, May 14 and Steve Hazell, Saturday, June 11, both at 2 p.m. These concerts will be followed by Black Hawk’s day-long festival on Saturday, July 9. All three events will be held in beautiful lakeside Mt. Morris Town Park. Also, the much-loved Thursday “Pickin’ at the Post” afternoon sessions at Mt. Morris Trading Post Bar & Grill are taking a little winter break. Uncertain and sometimes difficult weather and travel conditions, snowbirds who’ve packed up their instruments and headed south, along with “keep everyone healthy concerns” prompted this decision. Of course, anyone is welcome to pop in and share a few tunes, but the Black Hawk Folk Society musicians won’t be there to provide the musical infrastructure. We promise to share updates and spread the word when the sessions reconvene — probably in April! Also, if you check Black Hawk’s website and Facebook page, you’ll find streaming suggestions to help you meet your minimum daily requirements for music, folk and otherwise.

We are celebrating 40 years of philanthropy because of the partnerships we have created over the years with so many people, businesses, and nonprofits.

Since its inception 40 years ago, the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin has grown to an asset size to over$32 million with nearly 300 funds.

This performance is co-sponsored by Ole & Lena’s Fuel Depot, Antique Liquor & Video, Grimm’s Sports Bar & Grill, Martz Insurance, Pioneer Floral & Greenhouse, Sondalle Automotive and Wenninger Auto. The HillBenders’ WhoGrass is a chronological journey of The Who’s legendary catalog through the wood and wire of bluegrass instrumentation. Framed as a follow-up to The HillBenders 2015 acoustic interpretation of The Who’s TOMMY, WhoGrass now gives a career spanning twist on one of the Rock ‘n Roll’s greatest bands. From the early hits all the way through The Who’s discography and even a peek into Pete Townshend’s solo career, the rolling banjo, intense dobro percussion and thunderous vocals have been the biggest Who fan pumping their fist and singing along! “The HillBenders prove to be the perfect group to execute this WhoGrass concept.” -Rolling Stone The HillBenders have firmly established their presence as one of the most energetic and engaging progressive acoustic bands on the scene and they continue to wow audiences from stages around the country and around the world. They deliver a perfect mix of virtuoso musicianship and rock star vocals. Whether you’re a fan of bluegrass music, or The Who, this concert rocks on all levels!
