Hickory Ridge Concert Series: Blues and Old Time Country Music
- Location: ISM Dickson Mounds Museum, Lewistown
- Date: Saturday, January 17, 2009, 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Beat the winter chills at the Hickory Ridge Concert Series Saturday, January 17, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. when the Old Time Country and Blues Review comes to the Dickson Mounds Museum. Featuring D.K. Kolar on guitar, Dobro, slide guitar, banjo, and vocals and Pete Norman on guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele and vocals, The Old Time Country and Blues Review is just what it's name implies; a delightful collection of blues, old time and country music.
DK and Pete, both veteran performers in their own right, started performing together in 2002 when their mutual love of picking and old music brought them together at Pete's annual Post Christmas Blues Fest in Downer's Grove, IL. Drawing on the musical pioneers of the past, Pete and DK bring to life the songs that helped form our unique American musical heritage from Appalachian born songs of life, fun and hard times, to the blues of the South to original songs done with an old time twist. It's music that will get your toes tappin, get you singing along, and give you an appreciation of the heritage of much of today's "modern" music.
The Hickory Ridge Concert Series is hosted by singer-songwriter Chris Vallillo. Concerts are held the 3rd Saturday of every month at Dickson Mounds Museum and begin at 7:30 p.m. with the museum lobby opening at 6:30 p.m. Coffee, drinks, and a variety of desserts are available during intermission. There is an admission charge of $5.00 per adult — $3.00 for children under 12. Sitting is limited to the first 150 people.
