Welcome to the home of the Tuesday Concert Series,
Lawrence's premier concert venue for local acoustic musicians.
Friends - You say you never get enough foot-stomping Celtic music on St Patrick's Day? We have a solution. The 19th year of the Tuesday Concert Series kicks off on March 18th, the day after St Paddy's, with Celtic music from Lawrence's original Celtic band, the Boys of the Prairie. The series then continues with stellar performances that include the return of Ashley Davis singing her favorite songs from when she was growing up, Carswell & Hope rocking their indie folk originals, Coreopsis tingling your feet with their New England contradance music, Betsy O & the Hollaback Boys livening up the night with their original roots, quirky bluegrass and classic country, and originals songs from singer/songwriters Joe Casad and D Pound. Check the schedule link above for details.

Mission Statement - "None of us succeeds alone, and there’s room enough for all of us out there. You don’t have to love each other’s music. But if you respect each other’s hard work and dedication to the craft, lend a hand and support one another... Come together and help one another succeed!” Anonymous
About the Tuesday Concert Series - This is NOT an official Lawrence Arts Center event. Rather, they have generously allowed me to use their lobby as a guest production. As Lawrence Old Guard Productions I created the Tuesday Concert Series in 2005 to provide a classy, low-pressure venue for local acoustic musicians. My goal was to encourage original music in particular by creating a concert venue where audience members listened intently without distractions from talking, drinking, eating, playing foosball, etc.The series was originally held at Signs of Life Bookstore in downtown Lawrence until moving to the Lawrence Arts Center in the fall of 2010. In appreciation to the LAC for supporting local musicians, we do a fundraiser concert every year. Past fundraiser concerts included Bob Dylan Night, John Prine Night, and Ukulele Night. The current annual fundraiser is Woman Songwriter Night where musicians perform a few of their favorite songs written by a woman songwriter.
About the Host and Producer - Tal (Larry) Carter is a four-time champion in the Open Division of the Kansas Fiddling & Picking Contest between 1989 and 2010, playing a 10-string Cittern-Guitar that he designed. In addition to solo performances on piano, he plays banjo and guitar in the duo "Jeannie & Tal." As "Lawrence Old Guard Productions," he has produced a wide variety of events since the mid-1980s, including Lawrence Scottish Fest, Lawrence Bhakti Fest, the Chanting By Lamplight series, and, of course, this Tuesday Concert Series. PS - I've started going by my longtime nickname Tal (rhymes with pal), but "Larry" is fine also.
