   Figuring it Out, the Abello family acoustic band, will perform Sunday, June 23, the first concert for the Music in the Park summer concert series in Longville. The two-hour concert starts at 5 p.m. at the gazebo in the park area of Salem Lutheran Church, 1340 County Road 5.

   From Northern MN, where the winters are long and the summers are the most wonderful time of the year, Figuring It Out is an acoustic band that does exactly what their name entails - figuring out the styles of music they love best! This includes bluegrass, swing, traditional folk, Celtic, contemporary, and other styles they are still figuring out! 

   Established in 2016, the band has made 4 CDs, including “Figuring It Out” (2018), “Just A Jaunt” (2020), “Fremont Canyon” (2022) and their newest album “Smile! You’re Alive”.

   The family includes Louisa on guitar; Olivia on upright bass; Elijah on the 5-string fiddle; Adelynn on mandolin; Abram on banjo; Greta on ukulele; Georgiana on fiddle; Hazel on guitar; and Andy on fiddle. The family loves to perform at a variety of different venues, taking each performance as a new adventure! For more information, visit their website at www.figuringitoutbluegrass.com

   The concert is free, but free-will donations are appreciated. Bring your own lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets. Popcorn and lemonade are available. In case of rain, the concert will be held in the church. Music in the Park is a community outreach activity of Salem Lutheran Church and supported by the Longville Area Community Choir. It is funded in part with grants from the Longville Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and the Longville Foundation.
