Weekly Levitt Recap: Night Two of the 10th Anniversary Season

Our second week of the Levitt AMP Stevens Point Music Series continues with a blast of rain and wind!

John Harry took the stage and began playing a cover of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", conjuring up a massive rainstorm and powerful wind, as if we were on the ship!

After that thrilling performance, we had Raíces Latin Jazz take the stage, playing their signature Latin jazz, mixed with influences from around the world, which had everyone dancing.

A huge thank you to this week’s sponsor, Taps and Tackle Co., for helping make this concert possible. 🎣

We are so excited for next week's concert on June 18th, and hope you will join us to welcome Nathan Graham and our opener, , as the 10th anniversary celebration continues. You won’t want to miss it! 🎶
