Due to the weather forecast and storm damage sustained at our alternate venue, District 54 Grade School, from yesterday’s storms, tonight’s Neverly Brothers Courthouse Concert performance has been canceled.

We understand this is disappointing news and appreciate everyone’s understanding as safety remains our top priority.

We are hopeful that we will be able to reschedule the concert for a future date and will share updates as soon as they become available.
