PENGUINS (Jim Smith) at Morellos on the PATIO - Wednesday Nights - 2019

It's time AGAIN for Smith n PENGUINS live music on Morello's Patio in Harrisburg.  It may rain, but the good folks at Mo's have a roof and heaters for the Patio.  Begin in April (DATE TO BE DETERMINED) and continue every Wednesday into the Fall. 

Plans are to continue with musical variety.  Performers from last years sessions will return, with a few new ones.  If you have a strong longing for someone or something in particular, don't hesitate to ask, and to check this site for upcoming plans and schedule.  If you plan to eat on the Patio, reservations are suggested (pretty much a necessity.)  Call Mo's at 618/252-2300.  Check this blog or call Mo's for your questions about weather postponement.  Music will start usually by 6pm, sometimes earlier, and continue at least til dark, often later.  

Emphasis will be on live music (mostly instrumental): blues, classics, Americana, roots, standards, jazz, R&B, pop, contemporary, folk, Great American Songbook, more.  Frequently and usually Smith will host musical guests.  To get an idea of what to expect look at posts below of prior years schedules.  The price is right - FREE;  the food and drink - not free, but STELLAR.  (Tell em to bring back Stella on draft.)  Check it out.  Great scene for special events, like birthdays or retirements.  Uptown on Poplar Street, East of the Courthouse, in Harrisburg, Illinois.
