Concert on
Library Lawn
This summer the Greenville Public Library will be offering free
concerts on the front lawn featuring some of the best talent in the
area. Each concert will coincide with Mainstreet’s “First Friday”
starting with June 2nd from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. Everyone is
invited to stop by and enjoy the music! Bring a blanket,
lawnchair, and your lunch - or just take a moment’s break.
Our first guest artist is Taycie Powell who is from the Arcanum area.
Taycie sings and plays a wide range of genres and can be sampled on
youtube. Her instruments include piano, guitar, ukulele, and violin -
all played by ear! She started piano at age eight because older
siblings played and she looked up to them. Her greatest desire was to
play in the church band. She got her wish when she was asked to
join at age twelve, the youngest person to do so.
Taycie shares she loves to write songs and combines her music with
politics. “Music changes people in ways words don’t. It moves people
and brings something to their awareness. It’s more than
entertainment. It tells a story.“
It was a big decision to go professional and requires a lot of
discipline. She admits that in writing the tunes come easier than
the words. She looks forward to becoming known for her original style
and for her own songs. She likes Indy pop, soul, and “heart
music.” For now she enjoys performing and growing a fan base.
Rain location is First United Methodist Church on Fourth.
