‘Concert in the Park’ features the Ed Clark Trio

The August “Concert in the Park” features the Ed Clark Trio from 6:30 – 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 28, on the outdoor patio at The Timbers of Shorewood, 1100 N. River Rd., Shorewood. The public is invited to the free concert.

The trio has been performing in the Chicago area for more than 25 years. It features Spencer Keyes on keyboard, Dean Minuth on vocals and drums, and Ed Clark on wind instruments and vocals. They play the music of the ‘30s through the present, with an emphasis on Big Band music.

The popular series of summer evening concerts called “The Timbers’ Concert in the Park” is a favorite event. A few years ago, neighbors with homes near The Timbers heard the music, and they started setting up lawn chairs in their yards. Staff at The Timbers invited them to join the residents, and today, concerts are an amiable blend of residents, neighbors, friends, families, and the public.

The Timbers of Shorewood is a rental retirement community which provides independent and assisted living apartments and a full schedule of activities and services. Furnished apartments are also available for a short-term stay - a weekend, a week, a month or longer.

Again, the event is free and open to the public. For more information, call Shelly Goggins at 815-609-0669 or visit http://www.timbersofshorewood.com/calendar/2011/august/28/concert-park%E2%80%99-features-ed-clark-trio
