Lindsay Tomasic and Jesse Fitzpatrick to perform July 26
Fans of singer/songwriters Lindsay Tomasic and Jesse Fitzpatrick will be treated to another great concert when the duo performs at the Portage Lake District Library at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 26.
Copper Country natives, Lindsay and Jesse of their band TREES have been crafting songs and creating fine acoustic music since the early 1970s. The earthy sound of TREES created a buzz that has now spanned over three decades and just keeps getting better with time. Their intricately woven vocal harmonies coupled with exquisite acoustic production continue to please audiences year after year.
TREES will perform in a variety of shows this summer including two days at the Hiawatha Music Festival in Marquette, Mich. Their 2010 CD release "One Voice" is currently available at www.datoliterecords.com.
Library programs are free and everyone is welcome. For more information, please call the library at 482-4570 or visit www.pldl.org.
