Friday Night Free Concert: Stephan Moses

Leave a comment
Ralph Carlson introduces the Friday Night Concert musicians May 2019.

Stephan Moses will be the guest performer at this week’s Friday Night Concert. Moses is a songwriter vocalist and musician who plays guitar, banjo, and mandolin. He will perform a variety of blues and classic country.

“Formerly from Kansas City, Moses began playing music at age ten, so he’s been at this a long time,” concert-series organizer Ralph Carlson said. “Moses has a strong family heritage in music, as his grandfather played banjo, and an uncle played guitar and sang old country and blues songs. Hearing this music as a kid left a strong impression on Moses, so he threw his hat into the ring too. We appreciate him sharing his time and talent and welcome Stephan Moses to the park pavilion. Come out and join us for a great evening of music.“

The concert begins at 7 p.m. at the Heritage Park Pavilion at First and Main streets. The shows, sponsored by the Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce, are free and open to the public. Dave Oas of Parsons serves as sound technician each week. Due to limited seating, attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.

In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be moved to the Common Ground Coffee Co., 12 E. Wall Street.
