The planning is once again in progress for the Musician’s Showcase II, returning in April 2026 after a resounding success last season. Organizers are now seeking Herons Glen musicians of all genres and experience levels to participate in this vibrant community event that celebrates music, unity, and giving back.

Last year’s showcase drew a packed house and raised an impressive $780 in donations for the Veterans of the Glen, a community organization dedicated to supporting our country’s veterans and their charitable organizations. The event featured a diverse lineup of well-known pop and country songs for which the audience was encouraged to sing along and groove to the music. “We were blown away by the turnout and the generosity of everyone involved,” said Event Coordinator Don Lynch. “This year, we’re hoping to make it even bigger and better.”

Singers and musicians interested in performing in this season’s showcase are encouraged to join the group. A willingness to participate whether via voice or instrument skills is all that is necessary to join the group! The sooner you join the better, as the group needs to evaluate all resources and capabilities for timely planning of the program and the subsequent practice sessions. Also, suggestions are encouraged for achieving Don’s vision of “… bigger and better.” Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just starting out, this is a chance to share your music, connect with fellow artists, and contribute to a meaningful cause plus it’s fun!
