Rained out Verandah Concert rescheduled for Sept. 6 at Hayes Presidential

FREMONT – The Verandah Concert featuring a duo of American Roots singers from Detroit that was rained out in July has been rescheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 6.

Robert Jones and Matt Watroba will play traditional and popular roots music during the concert, which begins at 7 p.m. An ice cream social begins at 6:30 p.m.

Admission is free. Please bring a blanket or lawn chair for seating on the lawn.

Since their first meeting more than 20 years ago, Robert Jones and Matt Watroba have been musical partners. Their relationship started when they hosted back-to-back radio shows on WDET-FM, Detroit.

Later on, they started performing together. In doing so, they discovered a friendship based on mutual respect and a love for traditional American music. Now Matt and Robert travel the nation extolling the virtues of “Music That Matters.”
