Music in Many’s spring concert schedule is the most ambitious one yet with lots and lots of concerts booked for January through May, according to Many Mayor Ken Freeman.

“We have at least one great music show every month,” Freeman said, “and we have two shows scheduled for several of the months. Additionally, the admission price has been cut in half, and some shows are even free.”

‘Michael Wagley Presents’ is a new production which will feature different bands and musicians on the fourth Saturday of January, February, and March (Jan. 26, Feb. 23, Mar. 23). Wagley said he’s planning on a wide variety of music which will have something to offer for everyone. The son of popular local musician James Wagley, the young Wagley is enthusiastic about the three-month schedule and thinks the shows will be quite popular. Admission charge for each of the shows will be $7 for adults and anyone over 12. Kids under 12 will be admitted for $5, and veterans will be admitted free.
