Join local Celtic music group Fáilte (FALL-che) for a concert on Wednesday, March 18 at 5:30 p.m. They will be performing in the main room of the library near the north windows.

U.P. songwriter Phil Lynch will present a benefit launch concert of his new album, Growing, Older: Songs for the Second Act on Saturday, March 28 at 7:00 PM at Wesley United Methodist Church (801 Hemlock St., Ishpeming). The evening will feature songs from Phil's new album about the joys and challenges of growing older — along with the stories behind the songs — in an intimate, coffee-house style setting. Admission is free, with a free-will offering to benefit Harbor House, Marquette County’s shelter for survivors of domestic violence. Please come and be part of a special night of songs, stories, and community — all while helping Harbor House continue their important work.

Joy and elation are very contagious states of mind. We share this music as an expression of our hope for the world. Joy and elation come in many forms, sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but always a celebration that bubbles into our souls.
