A well-known musician will be performing tomorrow afternoon in Jefferson to wrap up a new summer program.

Singer-songwriter Chad Elliott will be at the Thomas Jefferson Gardens of Greene County tomorrow from 1-4pm. Jefferson Matters: A Main Street and Chamber Community Interim Director Matt Wetrich tells Raccoon Valley Radio Elliott will do a kids show from 1-2pm.

“He actually has kind of his own little character, per say, or story called, if you imagined the word ‘Wilder Man’ so ‘Wilderman.’ And he has a book series and the pages of the books are songs he’s written for each one. He’ll do artwork with kids too. Stop by to see that and bring kids, it’s really fun and adults love it too.”      

Wetrich adds his regular show will be from 2-4pm.

“Chad Elliott brings people. He’s got a following, he’s popular enough he has a following. We’re really excited that TJ Gardens brought him here to put a nice, big, beautiful bow on the end of their concert series this summer. It was really neat to have live music back in downtown.” 

Elliott has won several music awards, including the Woody Guthrie Song Contest and the Iowa Blues Challenge. Tomorrow’s shows are free and open to the public.
