SUMMARY:Live Music - Dave Moore and Phil Heywood
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHARELILFEST PRESENTS\nAn intimate concert in a relaxed setting on Saturday\, November 17th at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7:15 pm) in the Uptown Theatre. \nSongwriter and instrumentalist Dave Moore (guitar\, accordion\, harmonica) and finger-style guitarist extraordinaire Phil Heywood.  Recently Dave Moore and Phil Heywood have been sharing stages\, trading songs and embroidering rich instrumental accompaniment on each other’s songs and melodies. \n\n \nEastern Iowa’s Dave Moore writes and plays guitar\, button accordion and harmonica in a country blues/folk and conjunto style. He is a veteran of A Prairie Home Companion\, winner of Iowa Arts Council grants and recipient of the 2017 Folk Tradition Midwest Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Folk Alliance Region Midwest (FARM). \nOne of the finest songwriters to come out of Iowa\, Moore has recorded three albums with Red House Records and has written songs recorded by Lowen & Navarro\, Greg Brown and Larry Penn. His instrumental prowess on harmonica and accordion makes him an in-demand session player as well; he has appeared on recordings with Greg Brown\, Garrison Keillor\, David Zollo\, Brother Trucker and many more. Moore has opened for such greats as Townes Van Zandt\, John Hammond Jr. and Los Lobos\, and shared the stage with Chet Atkins\, Nick Lowe and Beausoleil\, among others. \n \nPhil Heywood plays fingerstyle guitar with a bluesy swing and a bucketful of whatever it takes to turn an instrumental piece into an arresting lyrical narrative. His lucid playing encompasses the down-home rhythmic groove of a Mississippi John Hurt or Leadbelly\, and the sheer fluidity and melodic flair of such contemporaries as Leo Kottke. The internationally renowned Kottke once handpicked Mr. Heywood to tour and perform duets with him. A soul-satisfying instrumentalist\, Heywood draws listeners in with his voice as well\, singing in a warm\, plainspoken baritone that blends smoothly with his rock-solid guitar work. \nWhile born and bred in Mount Vernon\, Iowa\, Heywood has been based in Minneapolis-St. Paul since the mid-1980s\, performing locally and regionally while also establishing himself in the greater guitar and acoustic music world. In 1986 he won the National Fingerpicking Championship\, and followed up a year later by winning the American Fingerstyle Guitar Festival Competition. He has played on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion with guitar legend Chet Atkins\, performed with fellow acoustic guitar luminaries Tim Sparks\, Pat Donohue and Peter Lang\, and opened shows for such artists as Norman Blake\, Greg Brown\, John Renbourn\, Chris Smither\, and John Hammond. \nPhil Heywood has recorded six solo CDs\, some of which will be available at the concert. \nHeywood and Moore will be available for phone interviews and other press inquiries in advance of the show by calling or texting Nancy Emrich Freeman at 847-256-0000. \nNOTE:  If you reserve an early dinner before the concert at the Palisades Café\, mention LilFest\, and receive the evening’s LilFest special. \n\nTickets\nAdvance concert tickets may be purchased at: \nBauman’s of Mount Vernon\nHelios Stitches’ n Stuff \nor online via Brown Paper Tickets \nor you can by tickets at the door. \nCost\n$5 Student / $20 Gen. Admission / $50 VIP Seating \nQuestions?  Call:  847-256-0000  or Email:  3bearscottage@gmail.com  \nwww.LilFest.org\nwww.PhilHeywood.com \nPLEASE SHARE

SUMMARY:Meet Me Where They Play the Blues - Eddie Piccard Jazz and The Busch Brothers
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHARE“Meet Me Where They Play the Blues!” That is the invitation from jazz musician Eddie Piccard. \nThe Eddie Piccard Quartet and the Busch Brothers will once again join forces at the First Street Community Center in Mount Vernon on Saturday\, November 10\, at 7:30 pm. \nThe program will likely include “Pete Kelly’s Blues\,” “The St. Louis Blues\,” “The Salt Lake City Blues\,” and many other blues songs and traditional jazz numbers. \n“The blues is quintessentially American\,” Eddie says. “The music grew out of the songs of Afro-American slaves and field hands in the South. The blues contains so many emotions\, including joy\, sorrow\, and determination. The words may at first sound down\, but the music always brings you up. \nWe love playing for the audience that comes to the Mount Vernon events\, and we know people will love hearing this music. It’s classic.” \n\nEddie Piccard Jazz plays hot traditional favorites and cool Shearing melodies\, as well as warm Latin tunes.  Eddie will be on piano and vocals\, Craig Dove on bass\, Jon Wilson on drums\, Rich Martin on vibes\, and Dave Richter on guitar. \nFor this show they will be joined by the Busch Boys–Marty on trombone\, Larry on trumpet\, and Luke on clarinet. \nThe “Busch Boys”  are very happy to join the Eddie Piccard Quintet for this evening of music.  Larry Busch is a veteran of the Guy Lombardo\, Wayne King\, and the Al Pierson Orchestras.  He has been leading his own big band for many years and is currently the leader of the Dixieland Allstars.  Trombonist Marty has toured with Al Cobine\, Johnny Mathis\, Dick Jurgens\, The American Vintage Orchestra\, and the Larry Busch Big Band. Luke  has played with the Dixieland Allstars\, the Mad City Funk\, and his own SKA band. \nEddie Piccard Jazz and the Busch Brothers\nTICKETS\nTickets for the performance are $15 and can be purchased at Bauman’s Clothing Store in Mount Vernon (319) 895-8692. They can also be bought at the performance.  Patrons are welcome to bring a favorite beverage and purchase a Community Center cup or bring a clean Community Center cup from home to use in the Theatre space. \n\n \nEddie Piccard grew up in eastern Iowa\, and began playing music on his grandmother’s piano. He left for larger venues in Chicago\, Florida and on the west coast. But he came back to Iowa in the 1980s and has become a jazz icon in eastern Iowa since returning to his home state. Iowans remember fondly the jazz club Eddie and his wife Dallis opened on Mount Vernon Road in the 1990s. But Iowans weren’t the only ones to frequent Eddie’s place. Travelers from other states came to this club for the chic décor and the unforgettable nights of music. Jazz musicians stopped by\, too\, after finishing up a gig in the area. The club was forced to close because of road widening. Eddie now plays regularly all over eastern Iowa\, as well as in the Chicago area and the Twin Cities. \nRich Martin’s career began in college where he was a drummer and a vibist. He took an extended break from performing to teach at Cornell College. But the music called him back and he began sitting in with Eddie’s trio fifteen years ago\, while still teaching. He is now a full-time member of the group. \nDave Richter comes from Dubuque to perform in Meet Me in New Orleans. He is well-known in northeast Iowa as an accomplished guitarist\, bassist\, and banjo player. He performs in Iowa\, Wisconsin\, and the Chicago area. \nTim Crumley performs frequently with the Eddie Piccard Jazz Quartet\, as well as a number of regional ensembles\, including Ashanti\, The Rusty Johnson Group\, and the John Shultz Trio. Tim is a lyrical and sensitive drummer who is always engaged and engaging. \nPLEASE SHARE

SUMMARY:Julius Caesar
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHAREWhat do voodooism\, prohibition\, boxing\, and plenty of blues music have in common? \nCome on down to Mount Vernon and find out with this summer’s production of Julius Caesar. Set in the Mississippi Delta in the summer of 1931\, this new take on an old classic blends Marie Laveau’s Voodoo Queen’s spiritualism with the Chicago Mob’s mentality to create a production unlike any you’ve seen before. \nWilliam Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar tells the tale of power and corruption at the hands of supposed leaders. As Julius Caesar prepares to take the throne\, a group of conspirators plot to overthrow this potential dictator in order to preserve the Republic. As the show progresses the limits of power\, the strength of brotherhood\, and the quest for vengeance are all tested. \nPLEASE SHARE
