The DayDreamers

NORWAY — This week, Music in the Park will again partner with Iron Mountain’s Out to Lunch for the fourth and final “Double Header” concert of the summer.

The DayDreamers will perform for the 10th concert at both venues. The free summertime music series will continue at 11:45 a.m. Thursday in Iron Mountain and at 7 p.m. at the band shell in downtown Norway.

Delivering hits from yesterday and today, the Daydreamers’ full five-piece band has more than 100 years of combined musical experience.

Centered in and around Marquette, they have performed in a variety of venues and festivals across the Upper Peninsula, including Grand Marais, Forestville and Marquette’s Sea Food Fest. The duo of frontline singers Jack Bauer and Nick Johnson, both on guitar and vocals, will keep you tapping your toes and asking for more.

The band also features top-shelf musicians on bass, drums and keyboards — all of whom will be introduced during their show — and they will have Band Shell Park rocking. The band looks very forward to playing for great Dickinson County audiences in both Iron Mountain and Norway.

“We hope folks that come into Iron Mountain for this week’s Out to Lunch concert with the DayDreamers will enjoy the afternoon, have a nice dinner in the area and come on down to beautiful Band Shell Park for this, our final regular performance of this summer’s fabulous series, as the band gets to ‘stretch out’ for a full 90-minute show — bring your dancing shoes.” event coordinator Carol Sundstrom said.

With possibly the nicest weather evening of the summer, an overflow crowd at last week’s concert with Norton, Chartier & Company really enjoyed the music.

The final upcoming Music in the Park performance will be Aug. 21 as they present a special 11th audience appreciation concert featuring the Grand Design Band from Delta County.
