Happenings at Central Square

Back by special request, Southern Raised returns to the Lee Paulson Stage at Central Square on Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. Southern Raised is a group of award-winning kinfolk, trained in classical music but raised in the bluegrass-soaked Ozark Mountains. They have created a Southern Raised trademark sound where classical meets bluegrass and city streets meet country roads. Central Square looks forward to presenting this award winning, genre breaking band. They have 32 SPBGMA Midwest nominations, multiple number one songs and have garnered over 12 million views on their YouTube channel.  

Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door, and children 12 and under are admitted for free with the presence of an adult ticketholder. Get yours today by calling 320-634–0400 or visiting https://ticketpeak.co/centralsquare.

Art in the Square Gallery

Central Square’s new gallery exhibit features the intricate drawings of Dennis Anderson. He captures the nuances of shadow and light and translates them into powerfully detailed renderings of landscapes and portraits.

There will be an open house reception for Anderson on Sept. 17, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Rolling Forks Vineyards will sponsor this reception. Central Square is grateful for the support of Rolling Forks Vineyards AND their incredible wines! 

Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Fridays by appointment.

Coming Soon 

Get ready for a soul-filled evening on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. Legendary vocalists Bruce Henry and Gwen Matthews team up once again to present and celebrate The Legends of Soul. This time, they welcome special guest, Kathleen Johnson, who will be performing as well! This will be an unbelievable night of iconic songs from artists like Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Beyoncé, B.B. King, Prince and more. Each of these vocal titans has a history of commanding the stage with magical solo performances and when they synthesize their talents, the sum is greater than its parts.
