Following a summer hiatus, Summit Street Singers will resume rehearsals on Tuesday, September 16. Regular rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. throughout the season.
We welcome new singers high school age and up.
The goal is to enjoy singing together. There is no audition process and singers do not have to be able to read music to join the group.
The ensemble is directed by Larry Cording with Kori Skidmore as accompanist and Melanie Hoffman assistant conductor.
The singers will perform at the Community Sing-Along in November at the Center for the Arts. Admission is free and the community is invited to attend.
To learn more about joining the Summit Street Singers, contact Carole Sullivan at 815-402-3111, email info@GalenaCenterfortheArts.com, or simply attend the first rehearsal on Tuesday, September 16.

Rockabilly, Country, Blues, & Rock.

This month’s Showcase highlights the work of three talented regional singer-songwriters, each bringing their own distinct voice and storytelling style to the stage.

Bella Moss is an up-and-coming artist from Dubuque, Iowa, with a pure, mellow voice that has the power to captivate an audience. Her heartfelt folk style is clear and transcends genres.

Usually seen in concessions, Michele Sullivan steps out to perform her own music. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes serious, her music is reminiscent of the folk era in her unique story-telling style.

Raised on a broad range of musical influences that include classic rock & roll, honky-tonk country and a bit of blues, Sophie Coyote’s songwriting style is reminiscent of the raw and honest age of music; lyrically driven with interesting stories, unique twists and word-play.

Sour Joe’s food truck will be on-site offering specialty kolaches for purchase.

The event is free and open to the public, though donations are greatly appreciated to support the ongoing efforts to bring regional talent to the Center’s stage.

Always on tour and never without a song in his throat, Jordan writes from his life experiences and reflects his personality through his music. With many more songs to record and endless gigs to play, he continues to strive for new audiences every day.
