Join us for a fun and free concert with The Lightning Bugs at First Friday Jazz on Friday, October 7! It also marks the beginning of the 12th year of these popular performances and the first full schedule of monthly concerts since the COVID pandemic. The concert will be held from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm in the Activity Center at First Lutheran Church (1551 South 70th Street).
The Bugs have been a popular singing group for over 35 years and feature vocal harmonies in the Mills Brothers tradition. They borrow their name from the pop music classic, Glow Worm, and their repertoire features jazz and pop standards from the 30’s and 40’s. The Bugs have played hundreds of gigs in all kids of venues and settings. They are longstanding artists on the Nebraska Arts Council Touring Arts Program, playing in communities throughout Nebraska.
Lunch will be available for purchase and audience members are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for the church’s food pantry. Face masks are optional.
The First Friday Jazz series began in October of 2011 as an outreach ministry of First Lutheran while providing a performance venue in East Lincoln.
The November 4 concert will feature the Ed Love Combo and jazz vocalist Jackie Allen.
