Local musician Roger MacNaughton and friends will performed Sunday, Feb. 9, at 4 p.m. at the LowellArts, 223 W. Main St.
The group will perform songs from MacNaughton’s “Songs & Memories from Mackinaw Island,” which was composed by MacNaughton during an artist-in-residence in the summer of 2019.
Patrons can expect to see some familiar performers and at least one new musical friend. According to MacNaughton, “I’m essentially augmenting our instrumental trio called MacRaven & Mora (Susan Mora on violin; Steve VanRavenswaay, on cello, and MacNaughton on keyboard) by adding Charlie Hoats on fretless 6-string bass, and Tami Hjelm on vocals. I’m also excited to welcome Kyle Rasche, an extremely gifted singer/songwriter, who will sing ‘Mackinac, I’ve Come Home.’” Besides the residency pieces, the ensemble will also perform popular soft-rock selections specially arranged for the concert.
While listening to the music, patrons will have the opportunity to view the gallery’s current exhibit “The Art of Change,” an exhibition of art that raises awareness of current global issues of our time in an effort to provoke positive change.
Tickets for the perform are $16 at the door and $14 in advance. The Gallery Concert Series features 11 local and regional music groups and runs January through April. For more information, visit lowellartsmi.org.
