Moundridge Arts Council
MOUNDRIDGE, Kan. — The Moundridge Arts Council will host its annual Labor Day Free Concert Sept. 2 featuring two musical acts — Garrett Willert and the Tom Page Band.
“The Moundridge Arts Council is incredibly excited to present these two impressive acts for this year’s free concert. It’s not every year we get to bring in two performers, which makes it even more thrilling. I know they are going to put on a great show,” MAC President Todd Vogts said.
The show starts at 7 p.m. in the Moundridge High School auditorium, located at 530 Cole Street in Moundridge. There is no cost to attend.
“We want to thank the Moundridge school district and Superintendent Cody Rierson for partnering with us so we could have an indoor space to enjoy live music,” Vogts said. “Also, we couldn’t present this concert without the support and generosity of the community. It’s their donations and memberships in the Moundridge Arts Council that allow us to offer this opportunity at no cost, and we think doing so is important because then people can attend without worrying about money. Everyone deserves the chance to enjoy the arts.”
Those in attendance will be treated to music from America’s heartland.
Willert, who is from Kingman, performs as a solo act. He sings 90s country music and songs he's written while playing the guitar.
Page is from Wichita and part of two bands — the Haymakers, which he formed with his friend Dustin Arbuckle, and the Tom Page Trio. He is a singer and songwriter who performs folk music, which he refers to as “dust bowl rock ‘n roll.” Listeners will often hear either double bass and one or two mandolins or harmonica in his music.
Both Willert and Page can be found on Facebook.
“This will be a fun concert, and it’s a great way to beat the heat,” Vogts said. “Come on down to Moundridge High School to cool off with some foot-tapping tunes. You don’t want to miss it.”
