MARQUETTE — The Peter White Public Library and the Marquette Area Blues Society invite music lovers to a Bluesday Tuesday concert with the Flat Broke Blues Band at 7 p.m. Sept. 1 on the library’s Front Street steps.
The Flat Broke Blues Band takes the influences of blues, rock, soul and R&B and creates a sound that respects the tradition of the blues genre but also pushes its contemporary bounds.
The band’s stage show is filled with an entertaining and danceable mix of blues and R&B classics along with a variety of original songs that showcase the talents of all of the band members: drummer Jim Cohen, lead vocalist/harmonica player Lorrie Hayes, bassist/vocalist Mark Johnson, guitarist/vocalist Mike Letts and guitarist/vocalist Walt Lindala.
Bring blankets and lawn chairs to enjoy this annual outside blues concert. Attendees are requested to wear masks and adhere to social distancing guidelines.
There is no admission fee to attend this event which is co-sponsored by the Marquette Area Blues Society and the Carroll Paul Memorial Trust Fund of the Peter White Public Library.
