Friday Night Concert in the Park featuring The Millers

This week’s Friday Night Concert will feature Michael and Lita Miller. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. Friday, June 16, at the Heritage Park Pavilion at 1^st and Main streets.

The Millers began performing gospel music in a trio. Now the two of them sing together, bringing authentic old Southern, traditional songs with a little bluegrass gospel thrown in. They are both well-rounded musicians, playing various bluegrass style instruments.

“A lot of the music comes from down south,” Michael, pastor of the Bronson Baptist Church, said. “Everything we do has a purpose and a message.”

Michael will play finger-style acoustic guitar and Lita will play the bass.

“They are a joy to hear. Because they are a husband and wife team, they know where each other is going with the music. It’s just a great blend of voices and instruments,” Ralph Carlson, concert organizer, said. “They are one of the Friday Night Concert regulars and it’s good to have them back.”

Seating is limited so everyone is encouraged to bring lawn chairs. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be moved to Common Ground Coffee Co., 12 E. Wall St.

The concert series is sponsored by the Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce.
