The Cumberland ETC Art Center will be featuring The BroadWay in the 2nd of its Local Music Concert Series.

The BroadWay concert will be Saturday July 7 at 7pm. The $5 tickets will be sold at the door. The BroadWay with it’s present membership, has been together about 5 years, performing various entertainment venues including the “Pipe Dream Center”, “Arts in the Park” programs, fraternal organizations and church groups, home parties and for other organizations wanting musical entertainment for a special event.

The group is composed of three very talented musicians. Sue Pruzek sings lead vocals and plays guitar and percussion. Marilyn Goodman sings vocals and performs on bass, saxophone, and flute. Kathy Turba is the third vocalist, and plays keyboards.

The BroadWay repertoire focuses heavily on classic jazz of the 40’s, lots of Andrews Sisters tunes, with a smattering of blue grass and later popular classics. They are currently looking at prepping a small set of country hits and are ready to present a program of dance music in the event the audience wants to push the chairs back and get moving!

The three musicians provide an entertainment experience which will resonate with a broad audience. Their classic tunes will get feet tapping and hands clapping.

Roger Harrison, long-time local musician, will perform with friends in concert at the ETC Theater on Saturday, July 28.

Roger is a well-known locally and nationally. He started playing at age 10, and joined the musicians union in 1964 at age 11. From 1964 through 1972, he was part of a family band called the Guitar Dusters that cut three 45 records.
The Guitar Duster’s family band opened shows for various artists, including Waylon Jennings, Jerry Lee Lewis, Conway Twitty, Dave Dudley, Kitty wells, Archie Campbell, and Hank Williams Jr.

Roger then joined with his brother and toured the Midwest for three years. In 1977 he branched off to do a one man show.
Since then he has been writing original Christian music and performing for various churches and other events. He also started teaching guitar & bass guitar in 1972, and presently teaches at Barron County Campus in Rice Lake, Roger’s Guitar Studio in Shell Lake, and the Dancing Bird Art & Music Gallery in Cumberland.

Roger recorded an album in 1977, cassette tapes in 1985, and continues to produce CDs to the present day.

Roger says he loves to play and share music with others. There is no greater pleasure than to teach others to enjoy music as much as I have through the years.

The Roger Harrison concert is part of ETCs continuing Local Musicians Concert Series. He will perform solo songs, and also share the stage with Nancy Beecroft and some of his talented guitar students.
The concert begins at 7pm. Admission is $5 at the door.
