COLUMBUS, Ind. – If at first you don’t succeed, try again … and then again. Our Hospice of South Central Indiana has announced that after a three-year wait, Yacht Rock Revue will finally perform live at the Our Hospice 36th Annual Free Summer Concert on Labor Day weekend, on Saturday, September 3, starting at 6:30 p.m.
“We have waited three years and we are ready to finally get YRR on stage at Mill Race Park,” said Laura Leonard, Our Hospice President. “Our Hospice is a not-for-profit, community-based service that needs the generosity of our communities to support our largest fundraiser which allows us to continue to provide the highest quality palliative and end of life care for your family, friends, and neighbors.”
Yacht Rock Revue will perform an evening of songs from the ’70s and ’80s. The band’s local connection, Nicholas Niespodziani and Peter Olson, met in the fourth grade in Columbus, went on to Indiana University in the late nineties, and formed the band Y-O-U before launching Yacht Rock Revue.
Events and Volunteer Services Manager, Julie Davis said, “Our Hospice is excited to see our concertgoers back at Mill Race Park. Title Sponsorships are being sought to join FORVIA Faurecia and Columbus Regional Health in presenting this long-awaited performance. We will be holding the popular American Legion Fish Fry drive-thru a week before the concert and our much-anticipated drive-thru baked cookies, raffle ticket, and t-shirt take place the week of the concert.”
