LAKEPORT — The Soper-Reese Community Theatre presents veterans of the stage, Michael Barrish and the Fargo Brothers, during its Third Friday Night Live concert series, 7 p.m. Oct. 21 at 275 South Main St. in Lakeport.
The Fargo Brothers have performed since 1979. Veterans of more than 4,000 live shows from California to the Canadian border, these seasoned professionals deliver rock ”n” roll with fire and intensity.
