Concert series returns to Grundy courthouse Thursday

Ann Stewart and the Banjo Buddies Dixieland Band set to perform

MORRIS – After weather forced the most recent concert indoors to the Morris Community High School auditorium and the July 1 performance being canceled because of the June 29 battery fire, the city of Morris’ 2021 Summer Concert Series is set to return to the courthouse lawn from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, July 29.

This week’s performers are Ann Stewart and the Banjo Buddies Dixieland Band. Ann Stewart is considered to be among a very small group at the top of the jazz banjo world. She is the vocalist, banjoist and leader of Chicago’s premier Dixieland Show Band. Her percussive, swinging style, along with her energy and enthusiasm, fuels the exclusive arrangements performed by the band.

In the event of poor weather conditions and the event needs to be moved indoors, please visit the Morris, IL Facebook page for updates. Program changes also will be forwarded to the Morris Herald-News and WCSJ radio so they may be able to share with their listeners and readership. Signs will be posted at the court house, too.
