Perry Fine Arts Series - The McGovern String Band

Perry Fine Arts Series will be presenting the McGovern String Band on Sunday, October 19, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. in the Perry Performing Arts Center.

The McGovern Stringband is an acoustic Americana and Bluegrass all string band – featuring the vocals of father & son, Kelly McGovern (guitar) and Brian McGovern (mandolin). The McGovern String Band combines a wide variety of genres with a bluegrass style that is anchored by bass player and vocalist David Morris, with Daren Blythe on 5-string banjo. Fiddler Sam Packard and Steve “Fuzzy” Blazek on resophonic guitar also join in when they can. Kelly and David are honored to be Nebraska Performing Arts Hall of Fame members. Their three part harmonies, combined with a percussive acoustic instrumentation, bring back that legendary high lonesome sound of Bluegrass.

Perry Fine Arts concerts are free, donations are accepted, and the performance is open to all.

​The Perry Performing Arts Center is handicapped accessible.
