Bluegrass melodies to fill downtown

Just Lookin? Around adds its own style to bluegrass this Friday night as the summer concert series continues. Pictured, from left, are Linda Walker, Frankie Rains, Ron Jennings, Gary Clendenon, Scott LeDuc, Lynn McGregor and Lisha Cotten.

The band has been performing for about 20 years and adds its own style of modern and folksy music to bluegrass. Although band members consider themselves part-time, it?s for a reason, says band member Lynn McGregor.

?If we played all the time, it would be more like a job than something we enjoy,? said McGregor. ?This way, we enjoy the times we play during the year.?

This is the third time the band has played the summer concert series. From experience, there won?t be a lack of fun this Friday.

?Those people love to hear music or they wouldn?t be there,? said McGregor. ?We always have fun with the concerts downtown. We are ready for Friday night.?

Band members are Frankie Rains on guitar, Gary Clendenon on banjo, Ron Jennings on guitar, McGregor on vocals and mandolin, Scott LeDuc on bass and Lisha Cotten and Linda Walker on vocals.

The music will start with The Warren Family opening for Just Lookin? Around at 7 p.m. on the West Lawn of Security Federal on West Main Street. Food and beverage vendors are open at 6 p.m.

The event is free and sponsored by River Park Hospital, Dr Pepper Bottling Company of McMinnville, the Law Offices of Galligan and Newman, Ben Lomand TV, Clear Channel Radio and the Southern Standard, your source for local news.
