Fourth Friday Concert, sponsored by MVCC
2026-06-26 19:00 - 21:00
Celebrate our 50th Anniversary with cake and dancing as we sponsor Twispworks June Fourth Friday featuring The Jack Maybe Project.
Forged from the roots of Blues, Jazz, Folk, and Bluegrass, this is a band that feels both timeless and raw. Described as “folk and blues with horns,” the project is inspired by ancient folktales and the stories of forgotten souls. Jack and his kin sing the songs of the “Old Monsters”, tunes that change form and ferocity through the centuries but remain grounded in a deep, soulful tradition. Come experience an evening of rhythms that bridge the gap between the past and the present.
