SUMMARY:Brownville Concert Series presents SoulRoot Band
DESCRIPTION:The Brownville Concert Series is thrilled to welcome back to Brownville\, SoulRoot Band. Playing all your favorites from the last six decades\, SoulRoot has become one of the most requested Top 40 cover bands in Missouri. Strong vocals with spot on four-part harmonies\, blazing guitar licks\, and a rock-solid rhythm section is what you should expect! The show will be in cabaret Friday and Saturday\, July 10 and 11\, at 7:30 p.m.\, and Sunday\, July 12\, at 2:00 p.m. Sponsors are  Dick and Jennifer James\, J. Randel Smith and Jane Crooker Smith Charitable Trust\, and Community Insurance Group & State Bank of Table Rock. \nWhat do you get when you put five guys together who have over 80 years combined experience\, and all have a desire and passion for performing music? You get SoulRoot! An evening spent with SoulRoot will bring you the music that you love from many different genres. \nSoulRoot has a deep love for live music that fuels everything they do. Back in 2012\, lead vocalist Ron Schieferdecker and guitarish/vocalist Rob Frommel were looking for a misfit rhythm section and grabbed bassist Bill Roe and drummer Johnny Walker. Together\, the four of them forged the SoulRoot sound and rocked the socks off Mid-Mo. In 2017\, the guys found their long-lost-sister\, keyboardist/vocalist Theese Weber. The band knew they had more adventures ahead and added their secret weapon\, guitarist/vocalist Paul Kendrick in 2022. \nOver the years\, they have become family and love to hang out almost as much as bringing music to life on stage together. Come out and have some fun with SoulRoot! \nTickets are $25 for adults and $16 for students. They can be purchased online at www.brownvilleconcertseries.org\, on Facebook or call 402-825-3331. The Nebraska Arts Council\, a state agency\, supports this program through a matching grant funded by the Nebraska Legislature\, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.

SUMMARY:George Custer and the Great Plains: History\, Landscape\, and Legacy
DESCRIPTION:The Brownville Fine Arts Association will present “George Custer and the Great Plains: History\, Landscape\, and Legacy” as part of the 2026 season Speakers Series this Saturday\, July 18\, at the Schoolhouse Art Gallery in Brownville\, Nebraska. The program will begin at 10:00 a.m. \nIn his nine years on the Great Plains\, George Armstrong Custer transformed from Civil War hero to a frontier figure\, fully immersed in the vast\, wild heart of the American West. Custer was sent by the U.S. Army to open the “Great American Desert” for the advent of the transcontinental railroad\, but during his time here he explored and hunted the sweeping prairies\, climbed the rugged peaks of its mountains\, collected and shared its flora\, fauna and fossils\, and encountered the diverse Native cultures of the Plains. \nHumanities Nebraska says\, “Jeff Barnes has followed Custer’s nine-year path across the Plains\, from 1867 in Nebraska to 1876 in Montana. Using Custer’s trail as his route\, Barnes has collected the imagery and the stories to show how the energy\, danger\, and beauty of the Plains may have influenced Custer and helped shape his complex legacy – and why his story still begs reflection a century and a half after his death at the Little Bighorn. \n“Barnes is a former newspaper reporter and editor\, trustee with the Nebraska State Historical Society\, past chairman of the Nebraska Hall of Fame Commission\, and former marketing director for the Durham Museum. He is the author of “Forts of the Northern Plains\,” “The Great Plains Guide to Custer\,” and “The Great Plains Guide to Buffalo Bill.” \nThe program is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by Humanities Nebraska and Brownville Fine Arts Association. The Schoolhouse Art Gallery is located at 427 Main Street in Brownville.
