Fennville ‘Tuesdays in the Park’ Concert Series
The eleventh annual Fennville “Tuesdays
in the Park” free community concert
series begins on June 11 with the
popular northern Michigan band Sister
Wilene. Sister Wilene will take you
back to the days when country music
was a pocketful of heartfelt ballads and
great swing songs you could dance to.
From the traditions of Patsy Cline to
Bob Wills, from the honky-tonks to the
dance halls to the front porches, this band will take you down memory lane or perhaps
introduce you to some of the greatest American music ever played. Added to the
vintage country material are original songs penned by band member Roger Brown.
Named for the only female member of Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys - accordion player
Wilene Forrester - Sister Wilene gives a nod to the country/bluegrass/Americana
tradition with a repertoire of country songs that have survived the decades, most
written by someone named Hank… or Roger.
The concerts will be held at Memorial/Paradise Park on north Maple ST in downtown
Fennville. Music begins at 7PM. In case of inclement weather the concerts will take
place in the lower level of the Fennville District Library. Free to the public the concerts
are sponsored by the following businesses:
