RCCA Art$ Grant Awarded

Collar City Pops also successfully applied for an Art$ Grant from the RCCA last fall and have used the money to start booking concerts. You can expect to see the Collar City Concert Band open the season again. We are also bringing back Hair of the Dog, a celtic folk rock group which was a big hit two years ago, and the Zucchini Brothers, which went over great with the kids. Also this year for the first time we will feature Ben Murray and Siobhan Quinn with special guests on a Sunday evening. They recently released their first CD Two Rivers, a mixture of folk and blues music.
