March 14 - Ambarita Sidabutar - Americana |

March 21- Acoustic Rooster - Classic folk rock |

March 28 - Coreopsis - Old-time music
Coreopsis is a favorite band for contra dancers (barn dances) in this area. Their lively mix of old-time tunes with Celtic and other sources is engaging and energizing. If your feet aren't moving, your toes will at least be tapping to the music of Lauralyn Bodle (fiddle), Whitney Baker (accordion), and Noah Musser (guitar). |

![]() This series has never been a Lawrence Arts Center event. They are showing their support for local musicians by generously letting me use the lobby for free. |

Musicians & local artists, local businesses, local farmers, - heck, as much as you can - LOCAL EVERYTHING. LFK! |

OK, that might not sound like much - unless you know this is from the
list in the Fall 2014 edition of Kansas! Magazine Maybe I'll make t-shirts. |
“None of us succeeds alone, and there’s room enough for all of us out there. You don’t have to love each other’s music. But if you respect each other’s hard work and dedication to the craft, lend a hand and support one another... Come together and help one another succeed!” Anonymous
About FREE Admission
Yes, admission is free. THowever, performers are working just for the tip jar. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors in covering my advertising, 100% of the tip jar goes directly to the evening's artists. As you are able, your generous donation will encourage them to continue making excellent music.
History of the Tuesday Concert Series
This is NOT an official Lawrence Arts Center event. Rather, they have generously allowed me to use their lobby as a guest production. As Lawrence Old Guard Productions I created the Tuesday Concert Series in 2005 to provide a classy, low-pressure venue for local acoustic musicians. My goal was to encourage original music in particular by creating a concert venue where audience members listened intently without distractions from talking, drinking, eating, playing foosball, etc.The series was originally held at Signs of Life Bookstore in downtown Lawrence until moving to the Lawrence Arts Center in the fall of 2010. In appreciation to the LAC for supporting local musicians, we do two fund raiser events a year for the Lawrence Arts Center, Bob Dylan Fest and, starting 2021, John Prine Fest (formerly Ukulele Fest).
As always, my thanks to Clay and staff at Signs of Life , the staff at the Lawrence Arts Center, JJ and staff at Beautiful Music Violin Shop, Scott at Mandolin Cafe, and Jim and staff at Mass Street Music for SUPPORTING LOCAL MUSICIANS!
