Free concerts: Wild Ones on June 14; Fenderskirts on June 21

MOUNT MORRIS – Chicago entertainers, Rick Lindy and the Wild Ones will perform from 7-9 p.m., Friday June 14, at the Jamboree Music Series.

The Wild Ones band was formed in 2000 by veteran Vocalist Rick Lindy, after a five year stretch as the lead singer for Big Guitars from Memphis.

The band has been performing Rock and Roll hits of the 1950′s, 60′s and 70′s as well as Surf, Rock-a-billy and original songs far and wide ever since.

“Many people in the area are well acquainted with Rick and the Band from their many years of appearing at the White Pines Lodge, and since he won’t be there this year we’re very happy to be bringing him to our historic campus for a two-hour free concert,” said Jamboree organizer Larry Ubben.

Concessions for the evening will be provided by the Mt. Morris Public Library, serving Italian sausages and hot dogs. Bill’s Famous Lemonade stand will be there as well, all starting at 6 p.m. Ewe and Me Acres will have a fresh produce stand with a variety of fruits, vegetables, baked goods, jams, jellies and dog treats on the Campus too, from 5 - 8 p.m.
