We’ve had a change of plans for this weekend’s live music, but Friday’s music is still on!

Friday Lunch: Jeff Chapman & Kent Lemmon will now be playing INSIDE Copper Penny from 11:30 AM–1:00 PM. Come grab lunch and enjoy some live music with us!

Friday Evening: The Elvis Tribute featuring Jeff Caldwell & Vinyl Frontier Band has been moved to The Moose from 7:00–10:00 PM.

Saturday: There will be no live music or entertainment on Charters Patio.

So, no music on the patio this weekend, but Friday still gives you two chances to enjoy some live entertainment. Just make sure you head to the right place!

We’ll see you inside Copper Penny for Friday lunch!

This is what summer Saturday nights are supposed to look like.

A table on Charters Patio. Something good to eat. A cold drink in your hand. Your people around the table. And live music carrying through downtown Vandalia. All while your favorite Copper Penny server takes care of you.

South of 16 plays tonight from 7:00–10:00 PM.

Come hungry. Stay awhile.
