Swing over to opera house for concert series

PEMBERVILLE — The Pemberville Freedom Area Historical Society presents the Live In The House Concert Series with the Midwestern Swing tonight at 7:30.

Inspired by the great Western Swing bands of the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s, steeped in country, jazz and a love for song, the Midwestern Swing is equal parts tradition and modernity.

The show will be at the opera house, 115 Main St.

Tickets $12 and are available at Beeker’s General Store, at the door or by contacting Carol Bailey at 419-287-4848.

The Cincinnati band’s sound centers around the dual lead melody lines of the steel guitar and the “standard” guitar that are held together by “four the bar” rhythm guitar. The group’s repertoire features tight arrangements from the classic Western Swing and Great American Songbooks.
