Starlight Six concert his Friday!
We'll present Starlight Six in concert at 8 p.m., January 27. Advance ticket sales have ended. No advance orders will be processed after 4 p.m., January 27. Office and outlet sales have also ended. Tickets will be available at the door for $18. Starlight Six features Hiawatha favorites Seth Bernard, May Erlewine, Rachael Davis, Josh Davis, Dominic Davis and Michael Shimmin. The concert will be in the banquet room of UpFront and Company, 102 E. Main in Marquette.
The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Rapidian had this to say about Starlight Six: "Singer/songwriters and instrumentalists Rachael Davis, Joshua Davis, May Erlewine and Seth Bernard showcase their diverse and overlapping styles that create a warm and inviting blend of rock with gospel, soul with country, and folk with blues. Dominic Davis and Mike Shimmin also lend their voices, while creating an integral rhythm section ranging from driving rock and blues jams to whispering folk and country tunes."
