The Betty Strong Encounter Center welcomes Crabgrass, a musical trio based in Lincoln, Nebraska to our auditorium.
Crabgrass has created a combination of Western music styles and will perform classic country music. Some of the songs include hits by Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Bob Wills, Loretta Lynn, Carter Family and others. The group has been playing together for over 15 years and perform songs of the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s.
Joan Wells has toured across the country performing for a Hollywood Entertainment Agency. Sam Packard has won fiddle championships and is a strings instructor in Lincoln. Kris Simon has studied piano, banjo and bass and brings some comedy to the group.
All three musicians have a natural ability to play all styles of music and have appeared at fairs, festivals, museums, and western events. Altogether they are known as “Crabgrass,” a unique sound inspired by their love for traditional music. Sit back and enjoy the sounds of the early Country Music period as they play your Country Western favorites.
Admission is free and a reception follows the program.
