Friday Night Free Concert: Duling, Brown

Leave a comment

This week’s Friday Night Concert will feature four performers:  Dan Duling on vocals and acoustic guitar, his son John adds vocal harmony and bass guitar, and Shanna Stone as lead vocalist. The trio performs a variety of country and classic rock. Addi Brown, local performer and Fort Scott Idol winner, will complement the show with some vocal solos.

 

“These fine musicians and singers will conclude the 2022 outdoor season,” concert-series organizer Ralph Carlson said. “The Dulings are talented local favorites and Shanna has toured with Meryl Haggard, Lefty Frizzell and other Nashville artists. Addi performs a wide variety of genres that’s sure to please the crowd. We’re expecting a great show, so come and enjoy the grand finale.”

 

The one-hour concert begins at 7 p.m. at the Heritage Park Pavilion at First and Main streets. The event is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and is free and open to the public. Dave Oas and Jim Butler provide the sound each week. Due to limited seating, attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.
