The Edwardsville Parks Department coordinates the concert series at the Wildey.
The Cree Rider Family Band is rooted in a country music sound, with elements of folk, Americana and rock n’ roll. One part Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, one part Neil Young and Crazy Horse, the Family Band stays true to its own instincts to create a modern honky-tonk country sound that is rooted in tradition but firmly planted in the here and now. Vocals and harmony are a focus, but the full band expertly compliments each song.
This is the first time for the Cree Rider Family Band to perform in this series and the first time for the band to perform at the Wildey Theatre. The band recently won best country band in the Riverfront Times and have had many songs featured on television shows such as "True Blood," "Justified," "Bloodline and Shooter."
“I always enjoy introducing new acts and genres into this series,” said Assistant Director Katie Grable. “The folks in Edwardsville appreciate good music and are always welcoming to new artists.”
All shows take place on Friday nights. Food starts at 5:45 p.m. and music starting at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Guests will enjoy the beautiful event spaces on the second and third floors of the theatre before making their way to the comfortable theatre seating for the show.
