Divas to perform in Cook July 9

Enjoy this Vegas style musical trio, Shannon, Sharon and Rosie. The gals, performing on July 9 from 6 to 8 p.m., have a wide variety of tunes in their expansive musical repertoire featuring Shannon on the keyboards, Sharon with her guitar and drums, and Rosie with various rhythmic instruments. Sharon and Rosie both hail from right here on the Iron Range. Shannon is originally from Rawlings, Wyo., but has been here for over 35 years. Sharon has been performing since she was young. She also plays at events with her husband, Dan, and does various shows and private parties as well. Rosie owns Firelight Galleries and has been performing in bands since after high school. Shannon teaches private music lessons and has served as the choir director at the E.R.A.T.S. (East Range Academy of Technology and Science, a public charter high school in Mt. Iron, Minn). She performs solo, as well as with the Divas, entertains for private parties and different venues. These ladies are “three of the hardest working musicians” you will encounter. They all share in their love for performance, and feel lucky to be able to do it together.

Performances are located at the gazebo in City Park adjacent to City Hall on River Street. Take some photos at the Wings Mural in the park, a project by students in the region of Cook and installed and preserved by Lyn Reed and Northwoods Friends of the Arts.

Every Wednesday this summer grab a blanket or a lawn chair or sit in your car to hear a different sound of music. Enjoy a burger or a brat provided by St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Alango, available at 5:30 p.m. In case of a rainy Wednesday evening, the concert will be moved to the Cook VFW right near the park.

Music In The Park is made possible by the Cook Lions Club, Northwoods Friends of the Arts, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, and free-will community donations.
