It's time AGAIN for Smith's 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. We will begin on Wednesday, April 27, 2022 and plan to 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.)
BUT SOMETIMES THEY APPARENTLY WILL MAKE NO RESERVATIONS. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED AND SEATED. Call
Mo's at 618/252-2300. ASK FOR AND TALK TO DAVID DENNISON OR JEFF OR LES TO MAKE RESERVATIONS. Check this blog or call Mo's for your
questions about weather postponement. Seldom occurs. Music will start usually before 5:30pm,
sometimes earlier by 5pm or so, and
continue at least til dark, often later. EXPECT COVID19 SAFETY MEASURES
TO APPLY AS REQUIRED - SOCIAL DISTANCING, MASKS, ETC ENCOURAGED - PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE OF THE
HEALTH, SAFETY AND RIGHTS OF OTHERS.
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 (TIPS are accepted and APPRECIATED); the food and drink - not free,
but VERY GOOD. Check it out.
Great scene for special events, like
birthdays or retirements. Uptown on Poplar Street, East of the Courthouse, in Harrisburg, Illinois.
