The Good Time Gals Visit Our Front Porch
July 20, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
The Western Illinois Museum welcomes The Good Time Gals to the July lineup of concerts held on Our Front Porch, the site of a popular music series set in the most unexpected and interesting venue in McDonough County. On Thursday, July 20th, The Good Time Gals will share their original material that pulls influences of Americana, Blues, Vintage Jazz, Honky Tonk, and Western Swing, elevated by rich vocal harmonies and bold arrangements. The doors and bar open at 5:00 with two sets of music starting at 5:30 pm.
This talented “all-gal” quartet is composed of “Miss Myra” Burnette on guitar and vocals and Debbie Briggs on lead vocals, Beth Varela on percussion and cello, and Alissa Jacobsen on fiddle. Their unique sound will surely keep toes tapping and hearts humming well after the show has ended. With performances at some of the finest venues and festivals in Minnesota, the Museum could not be more excited to welcome The Good Time Gals to Our Front Porch.

The Our Front Porch series is set in a truly convivial space with gorgeous windows, great lighting, historic artifacts, and a bar which, along with the venue, opens at 5:00 pm, making this show the perfect happy hour treat. Come early to explore the collection, socialize with friends and family, and enjoy the casual atmosphere. There is a suggested $5 donation at the door. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, with additional funding from an Illinois Humanities Council grant and from the state of Illinois American Rescue Plan Act.
The Western Illinois Museum is a non-profit organization celebrating and nurturing the history, culture, and traditions of McDonough County, and is quickly becoming a vibrant community hub that features exhibits, an open collection, lectures, music, and other programs in a historic building. The Museum is located at 201 S. Lafayette Street, one block south of Macomb’s Courthouse Square.
