   Figuring it Out, an acoustic band, will perform as part of the Music in the Park summer concert series on Sunday, August 16, 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 family band that does exactly what their name entails - figuring out the styles of music they love best! This includes swing, bluegrass, 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 of all ages 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!

   Come hungry and enjoy homemade individual pizzas made in the outdoor bread oven by the Salem Bread Ministry (donations appreciated).

   The concert is free, but free-will donations are appreciated. Bring your own lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets. 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, Longville Foundation.
