Summer Winds Down With Client Performances

This month brings a close to most outdoor (and their associated indoor) performances that included the annual National Traditional Country Music Association festival in Le Mars, IA. Appearing this year were multiple clients in individual stage events and also as a newly-formed group.
Maria Petersen was there with her zither playing on various stages including the Outdoor Church and accompanied by Jeff Osthus on his bowed saw. Maria often conducts a workshop on the zither instrument and found a very eager young student who “helped” Maria play a song – much to the delight of her great grandmother. Later in the week Maria was also encouraged to enter the miscellaneous competition and was handed first prize with its evening slot on the main stage. Congratulations!
Rayne Magill was found on a number of stages throughout the week both playing solo and as a member of the new four-some (Plum Tuckered), two of which are also past clients of Tesco Productions. The additional two members that have been here include John O’Brien (Papio Creek) and Don Knudsen (Roundhouse Band). Rayne plays a variety of old country and folk favorites as well as a large selection of her own songs.
It’s always fun to catch up with current and past studio performers and hear them live as well, which is where their talents and hearts shine warmly.
