    This week Don McCloskey, an artist who takes a blend of folk, rock, soul, and Americana to create his own unique sound, and special guest Donny Dykowsky, an artist who also offers a unique blend of genres perform on the concert stage.

    This is a free concert sponsored by the local restaurants and businesses. Bring your lawn chairs, food, and beverages (alcoholic or non). Small coolers are allowed. Our club members like to arrive early to setup their chairs before the show and patronize the Eagleview restaurants that sponsor the concert series or just socialize before the show.
