WCT Presents

Stacey Pydynkoswki invites you to her solo exhibition “Rain or Shine” on display at the Greensburg Garden & Civic Center throughout the month of May. There will be an opening reception on Tuesday, May 7, 2019, from 6-8 pm.

Note from Stacey:
“You’ll find a variety of emotions adorning these walls- emotions garnished with acrylic paint and sometimes a pressed flower here or there. I hope that the images transport your mind to somewhere meditative, somewhere lively, somewhere old, or perhaps somewhere new.”

With motivational lyrics, otherworldly solos and feel-good rhythms, our goal is to bring the audience an unforgettable and innovative music experience to broaden the imagination. #keepitsquiggly

Willow Hill is a burst of color on the canvas of modern country music.  The husband and wife duo of Alexandra & C.T. Fields has earned a loyal fan base across the entire United States with Alexandra’s  iconic soulful voice and C.T.’s infectious guitar riffs.  Having written songs together for over 12 years, the two enjoyed some national success in their rock group Lovebettie with a Rolling Stone “Band to Watch” mention, and over 200 dates per year of touring.  The band was also a regular name at major festivals like Sturgis, Rocklahoma, and Summerfest – where they supported the legendary Pat Benatar.  During that time the couple began writing songs outside of the realm of rock and roll, and finally found where their hearts felt at home…  in country music.

Country music group Abilene debuted in the early 1980s. The band was composed of Herb Humphreys, Keith Taylor, Larry Miller, Jay McKnight and Ray Rhodes.

Abilene travelled the tri-state area while also finding time to record two local hits, You Don’t Need to Need Me Now and Louisiana Feeling. For several years, the band was the opening act for national performers and won a number of ‘Battle of the Bands’ competitions and contests. One win landed them on the stage of ‘Jamboree in the Hills’ in 1984, which led to a performance on the popular Nashville ‘You Can Be A Star’ television show on the CMT Network.

Over the past 30 years, Abilene has shared the stage with such greats as Alabama, Ronnie Milsap, The Statler Brothers, Pure Prairie League, Conway Twitty, Waylon Jennings, Charlie Daniels, Dr. Hook, Eddie Rabbit and The Judds.
