FRANKLIN GROVE - Fans of the popular Fifth Friday Music Shows at the historic H.I. Lincoln Building in Franklin Grove are in for a very special event on Friday, Nov. 30. Music fans will be treated to a special appearance by Brian FitzGerald and Marty McCormack.

Well known throughout North America, Canada, Ireland, Italy, and the Netherlands as Switchback, these talented musicians will provide a rousing evening of American Roots blended with Celtic Soul.

Featured at over 200 engagements a year, Switchback has shared the stage with artists as diverse as The Moody Blues, Gaelic Storm, Leon Russell, and Lee Greenwood.  Equally at home in giant 15,000 seat stadiums or in intimate settings like Nashville’s Bluebird Café or Franklin Grove’s historic H.I. Lincoln Building, Switchback can connect with everyone who loves Irish music – or just really good music. Their appeal is truly universal.

Two action packed shows will be presented at 7 and 8 p.m. Seating is limited. Tickets are available for a $10 donation by calling the H.I. Lincoln building at (815) 456-3030 daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., noon to 4 p.m. on Sundays, or stop by the H.I. Lincoln building during the same hours. Tickets may be available at the door, but previous Switchback appearances have sold out in advance so it would be best to plan ahead for Nov.30.

This is a chance to see internationally touring artists in a home town setting.
