BROWN BAG: Robert Wright

Add some jam sessions to your lunch each Wednesday in April at the Northeast Louisiana Arts Council’s noontime outdoor Brown Bag Concerts series! Come soak up the Spring sun and we’ll provide the Jam with a midweek miniconcert by some of our area’s best musicians! They’ll be on stage at lush, green Palace Park at 220 DeSiard Street (beside the old Palace Department Store). Picnic blankets and lawn chairs are encouraged! Public parking is available on the street and at 4th and DeSiard Street. Round up your friends, bring a picnic of your favorites, or treat yourself to a $6 box lunch, with tea, on site from Newk’s Eatery. Mulhearn’s will again provide free cookies to make the events extra sweet! Picnic blankets and lawn chairs are encouraged! Of course, the performances are FREE, thanks to our sponsors Mulhearn’s, Newk’s Eatery, ECHO Development, Paramount Healthcare Consultants of West Monroe, State Representative Michael Echols, and the City of Monroe. An educator, author, photographer, and entrepreneur, Monroe-native Robert Wright wears many hats in both his life and his music. His performances feature an eclectic mix of favorites from Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Marvin Gaye, Bruno Mars, Al Green, Tina Turner, and many more. You may have enjoyed his performances in local venues, events, and his local church, but there’s nothing like listening as he showcases his multifaceted talents and tastes outdoors in the park to kick off our Series!
