Songbag Concert Series: John Daniel Lane

The Songbag Concert series kicks of the 2023 season with Western Illinois’ own John Daniel Lane! Playing a style once described as “raw baroque Midwest square-dance jams,” John’s set will feature both familiar tunes and original songs on guitar and fiddle.
The first set starts at 2:00 p.m. and the second set starts at 3:15 p.m. Refreshments available between sets.
