www.Dubuque365.com 365ink Magazine | issue #170 { september 27 - october 10, 2012 } 21 LIVEThe MUSIC:Sandy Hook TaveRN Mill Works Concert Series: Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons Saturday, September 29 Dubuque Main Street is pleased to announce, with help from the National Endowment for the Arts, Alliant Energy, and Black Hills Energy, the Dubuque Millwork District’s inaugu- ral Mill Works Concert Series on Sat- urday, September 29, 2012, from 5 to 10 p.m. This FREE outdoor concert headlined by Cory Chisel & The Wan- dering Sons will accelerate the cul- tural vibrancy and momentum gained in recent months in the Dubuque Mill- work District. The event will take place at the corner of 10th and Washing- ton Streets, near the Voices from the Warehouse and CARADCO buildings.

Now living in Nashville, TN, Wisconsin native Cory Chisel and his band, The Wandering Sons, perform music full of Midwestern heart, filtered through the country, blues, soul, and rock that shaped Chisel as he grew up. He honed his sound by touring incessantly while based out of Appleton, Wisconsin. The work paid off, earning him recent tours with Murder By Death and a U.S. tour with Norah Jones. Chisel describes his new album, “Old Believer,” as “one who has been through a lot in their life and hasn’t lost hope.” Get a preview at: www.corychisel.com.

Opener Trapper Schoepp has the ear of a troubadour, the eye of a journalist and the heart of a young poet. He began writing songs at a tender age with startling facility, distilling rock, folk and country traditions into tunes that are at turns spirited and melancholy. Themes ranging from pride of place, love and adventure shine with surprisingly sophisticated metaphors for a songwriter so young.

The free outdoor concert will feature local food vendors, including Kalmes’ Breaktime and The Food Store and beverages by 7G distributing. The Mill Works Concert Series is brought to you by generous contributions from Medi- acom, Radio Dubuque, and Rally Collective. For more information, please contact Aaron Hefel at 563-451-7985 or visit www.dubuquemainstreet.org.
