Music, Movement and Fun
After ten years of touring the globe with his acoustic rock band Breaking Laces, Billy Hartong changed direction in 2016, founding The Jolly Pops to “provide music, movement and fun learning through experience.” Since then, he has recorded and toured with many Happy Dads (and a few Merry Moms). Bassist Justin Hartke and drummer Erik Schee join Hartong in their tour of Viking Library System from June 27 - July 1. All three musicians have ties to the MacPhail Center for Music in Minneapolis. Hartung is an assistant instructor at The MacPhail Center for Music serving in the Sing, Play, Learn Program for early childhood
In the event of rain, The Jolly Pops performances will be held at the Evansville Art Center, located at 111 Main Street, Evansville, MN. For more information, contact Evansville Art Center at 218-948-2787.
This program is sponsored by Evansville Art Center, Brandon-Evansville ECFE and Viking Library System, funded in part or in whole with monies from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage fund.
