GALESBURG, ILLINOIS (October 28, 2019) — Make plans to attend the final Carl Sandburg Songbag Concert Series performance of the season on Sunday, November 10, featuring the Trulson Hope Scott Trio at the Carl Sandburg State Historic Site in Galesburg.
The members of this newly-formed trio are Carol Jean Trulson, Jera Faraipanahi Scott, and William Hope. Trulson is known for her mandolin work with the Hickory Grove Bluegrass Band, while Scott leads Jera and The Absoluts, a central-Illinois party-band that offers rock, blues, and reggae. Hope brings strong guitar skills to the trio.
The November 10 Sandburg Songbag performance by the Trulson Hope Scott Trio will be in the Sandburg Site’s barn at 313 E Third Street in Galesburg. The show starts at 4PM and ends at 6PM with a break for refreshments around 5PM. A donation of $5 per person is suggested. The 2019 Sandburg Songbag concerts are made possible thanks to a grant from the Mark and Celia Godsil Family Fund, a Donor-Advised Fund of the Galesburg Community Foundation, and the Community Impact Fund at the Galesburg Community Foundation. The concert is presented by the Carl Sandburg Historic Site Association and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR).
The first Sandburg Songbag concert for the 2020 season will be on Sunday, March 8, featuring local favorites “Hammer and Pick.”
Carl Sandburg was a collector and performer of America’s folk songs. The concert series is named in honor of Sandburg’s book “The American Songbag” published in 1927.
