Wabasha’s WideSpot Performing Arts Center is pleased to announce its Winter and Spring season lineup of seven concerts. The eclectic lineup leads off with the Scottie Miller and Cierra Hill duo on January 11th. Miller is a talented piano player and singer songwriter, and Hill plays both cello and violin. The results are magical!
Next up is the bluegrass and Americana stylings of Maygen and the Birdwatcher on February 1st. The band, including Wabasha native, Jesse Moravec, has been delighting audiences throughout the middle states; this is their first WideSpot Show.
Joyann Parker brings her Classic Ladies of Country Music on February 15th. Think songs by Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette and others.
On March 8th, WideSpot favorites Four Pints Shy present an evening of great musicianship in a Celtic vein, as the band gets you in the spirit for the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day Holiday.
Maiden Rock’s own Patchouli and Terra Guitarra present “The Landscape of the Guitar” on April 12th, a concert and video presentation with strong Flamenco guitar stylings and lovely harmonies.
The Jimmys, a seven-piece R & B/Blues band bring crowds to their feet wherever they play. They feature a Hammond organ, killer guitar, three-piece horn section, and a rock-solid rhythm section. Plan on attending their show on May 3rd
Finally, Sam Miltich will finish our season on May 17th with a show paying homage to jazz guitarist Charlie Christrian. This fine band has been featured on a Prairie Home Companion. Like Jazz Guitar? You’ll love Sam!
