MT. MORRIS — The Mt. Morris Jamboree is pleased to announce the return of Jonny Lyons and the Pride to the bandshell stage for a free concert on Friday, June 27, from 7-9 p.m.
Thanks to the William & Beverly Burkardt Family Foundation NFP for sponsoring this show!
Jonny knows how to command an audience, whether he's fronting his band Jonny Lyons & the Pride, taking the stage as The Man In Black or the King of Rock and Roll, standing alone with an acoustic guitar, or even laying down the drums for Lance Lipinsky in his band The Lovers. Whatever the occasion, you can be sure to expect an electrifying performance!
Jonny writes his own music flavored from his heroes such as Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Conway Twitty, Jerry Reed, The Everly Brothers, Willie Nelson, The Ventures, and many more.
Food and drink concessions for the evening will be provided by the Leaf River Lions Club, who will be serving hotdogs, brats, chips, & drinks.
Ewe and Me Acres will host a Farmers market from 4-8 p.m. offering fresh produce, baked goods, crafts, and more every Friday on the Campus. Popcorn Girls Emmie and Lily from the Mt. Morris Center will likely be serving fresh popped corn uptown too. Bill's Famous Lemonade will likely be on site as well. Encore's Art Gallery and the Mt. Morris Historical Museum, located in College Hall will be open during concerts on the campus.
Please bring a blanket or lawn chair, as the benches will likely fill fast, and join us on our historical campus, located two blocks south of Illinois Route 64 on Wesley Avenue and enjoy the free rock n roll concert.
