Every summer the city of Morris holds concerts on the Grundy County Courthouse lawn in June, July and August.
This year's series begins tomorrow. From 6:30 to 8 p.m. Chapter 6 will be performing. They have been called "an a cappella sensation."
All the concerts are held on the courthouse lawn unless there is rain or high heat. Then the concerts are at the Morris High School auditorium.
The rest of the concerts are as follows:
Ann Steward & The Banjo Buddies will perform from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday July 10. They are described as a "high energy Dixieland band."
The Neverly Brothers will perform from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday July 17. They play tunes from the 1950s American Rockabilly & Rock n' Roll to the British Invasion.
The Pontiac Municipal Band will play from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday July 24. They are an "old fashioned" concert band with Big Band sounds.
