July 2-4 events at Sibyl Center

The fourth of July time is always a big deal at the Sibyl Center in Stanley
and this year is no exception.

Saturday evening July 2, local favorites Stan Wright and Gordie Patten will
kick off the fun with the Stan and Gordie Show presenting a variety of music
for listening and dancing including swing, country and patriotic.

Then, July 3 and 4, the Radio Stars return to the Sibyl Center in Stanley
with both evening and a daytime performances.

National Public Radio described the band this way:
“Combine a whole lot of energy with a distinctive take on modern and
traditional Western-style tunes, and you’ve got The Radio Stars”.
In 2009, the band performed for millions on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie
Home Companion radio show, and have appeared at Norsk Hostfest.

All the band members sing. On instruments: “Magic” Merrill Piepkorn
-harmonica, guitars; Gregg “Smokey” Temple- electric, acoustic and pedal
steel guitars, R.P. Sell- bass guitar, and Loy Larson- champion fiddler and
mandolin.
In addition to the western and cowboy tunes, The Radio Stars can keep a
dance floor packed with two-steps, waltzes, and a polka or two, as well as
an occasional truck drivin’ song.

Back in 1972, Smokey and Magic began
playing coffee houses and local bars in the Fargo-Moorhead area. By 2005,
the four joined forces to focus on the western music and touring.

This will be the fourth year the Radio Stars have put the Sibyl Center on
their itinerary. Don’t miss the fun and hilarity this time around, because
this four-some always has a few surprises in store.
