STICKTIME MAKES SUMMER CONCERT SERIES DEBUT
Local classic rock band Sticktime will make its Summer Concert Series debut on Sunday, July 24th. Radio station 106.9 The Eagle will present the free concert at the bandshell in Frederick’s Baker Park at 7 p.m. The Summer Concert Series event is planned and produced by Celebrate Frederick Inc.
You can count on Sticktime to play the songs you know and love. The band is incredibly versatile and can play anything from The Doors to Led Zeppelin to Three Doors Down. Not only that, but the band members’ faces may be familiar as all five are from the Frederick area.
Plan to arrive early to enjoy guest carillonneur John Widmann. He has been the City Carillonneur for the City of Frederick for 13 years. As City Carillonneur he plays recitals on the Joseph Dill Baker Carillon every Sunday at noon. During the week he works as the chorus and general music teacher at St. John Regional Catholic School in Frederick, and teaches piano, voice, carillon and organ privately.
While the concerts are FREE to the public, the Summer Concert Series Committee encourages you to bring a canned food item in lieu of admission to each performance. Non-perishable items such as canned meats and vegetables, soups, peanut butter, cereal, rice and pastas are requested. All items collected benefit the Frederick City Community Action Agency Food Bank.
The 2005 Summer Concert Series is a sub-committee of Celebrate Frederick, which is supported financially by the following community-minded businesses: Gold Sponsors - Bechtel Foundation, Chase Credit Card Services, Cellular One, Drees Homes, Sandy Spring Bank, and Weis Markets; Silver Sponsors - Adelphia, COMSTAR Federal Credit Union, Farmers and Mechanics Bank, Frederick News-Post and Spectrum Federal Credit Union; Bronze Sponsors - BB&T, CitiMortgage and the Frederick Arts Council.
