Feeling excited and bittersweet for this week's music, since it's the last of the season! On the Lash is gonna rock it this Thursday– thank you to all of those who have supported the series this summer.

We'll also be drawing for the guitar this week!!! There's one more chance to buy raffle tickets :) Remember that these concerts are free to you and we want to keep it that way! Every dollar you donate helps keeps these concerts rolling and keeps our mission statement alive.

We'll see you next week at Ludington Area Center for the Arts for our second week of music day camp with Nick Veine and Eric William-Neil Engblade

This week at Roots on the River, we're excited to have Whorled playing!!! They're bringing their unique twist to Celtic music with a blend of jazz, classical, and more to Manistee! How lucky are we!!!

Come on out at 7pm and support local music, us at Music Sparks Meaning, and the members of Whorled.

And honestly, you'll thank YOURSELF for going, so treat yo self!
