MOLINE, ILLINOIS (June 8, 2023) — Don’t let the summer heat keep you from enjoying “Music for New People” at the next Music on the Lawn concert on July 13, at Deere-Wiman House in Moline. This inventive ensemble of musicians must be experienced in person to fully appreciate the range of their talents. Inspired by the work (and play!) of people like Andy Kaufman and Shel Silverstein, they make unique family-friendly music with all sorts of instruments — from electronics to ukulele, accordion, and percussion.

The free concert begins at 6:30PM, with seating on the spacious Deere-Wiman lawn. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs, and even a picnic lunch (if you like!). Come early, beginning at 5PM, for a variety of family-friendly, fun activities. Note: In case of extreme weather, all activities and the concert will be moved indoors to the air-conditioned Deere-Wiman Carriage House located on the same site.

This event is part of the Music on the Lawn series, hosted and funded by the William Butterworth Foundation: June 14, 2023, 6:30PM (with pre-concert, family activities beginning at 5:00PM), at Deere-Wiman House, 817 11 Avenue, Moline, IL 61265. No charge for admission, and no reservations required. For more information, call (309) 743-2701, or go to butterworthcenter.com.
