Vicki Mayo and George Turner Play Romantic Jazz Standards
2017-08-18 16:30 - 20:00 | Western Illinois Museum, 201 S. Lafayette St. , Macomb, IL
The Western Illinois Museum welcomes musicians Vicki Mayo and George Turner, and historian

Sterling Kernek for a program that explores the Great American Song Book on Friday, August 18th.

Doors open at 4:30 and the program begins at 5:00 pm. Cash bar will be provided by Hy-Vee Catering.

The event will be held at the Western Illinois Museum, located at 201 South Lafayette Street, one

block south of Macomb’s historic Courthouse Square. There is a $5 suggested donation at the door to

benefit the museum’s programs.

The program is designed to transport listeners back to a “golden age” of jazz standards traveling from

the early 1920s and the late 1950s. Historical commentary will point out influences on that music and

highlight reasons for the lasting appeal of these well-loved songs. The expressive vocals of Mayo

complimented by Turner’s well-honed and thoughtful guitar playing, will give a new appreciation of

these favorites.

For more information contact the Western Illinois Museum at 309.837.2750 or info@wimuseum.org.
