Library Announces Summer Concert Series

The Friends of the Grayslake Area Public Library has announced the 2013 summer concert series.

These free concerts will be held outside the library on the lawn, weather permitting. The will provide limited seating and encourages concert-goers to bring their own blankets or chairs.

The series kicks off at 7 p.m. June 10 with Small Potatoes, the Chicago-based duo of Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso, who have become regulars at many clubs, coffeehouses and folk festivals across the country.

Calling themselves eclecto-maniacs, they describe their music as “Celtic to Cowboy” and say it has taken them “years of careful indecision” to come up with a mix of music that ranges from country, blues, and swing to Irish.
