All-Ages Lincoln Penny Story Hour

This special Juneteenth edition of the Lincoln Penny Story Hour features Zanzer Anderson reading Fancy Party Gowns: The Story of Fashion Designer Ann Cole Lowe by Deborah Blumenthal. The program is designed for all ages and welcomes everyone. Rooted in the meaning of the Lincoln penny as a symbol of freedom and unity, the series invites readers from diverse backgrounds to share children’s books they have chosen to highlight a perspective, story, or lesson. Participants receive a Lincoln Penny souvenir in a keepsake jacket as a reminder of the experience. This Lincoln Penny Story Hour is sponsored by 1st Source Bank. Zanzer Anderson is a lifelong Elkhart resident via Blytheville, Arkansas. Her experience includes serving as the youngest department head at W.T. Grant Department Store before it closed, working as a restaurant manager, daycare owner with her husband, and radiology office tech. She was among the first healthcare navigators in Indiana, appointed by Senator Joe Donnley, and is nearing retirement from work as a senior life, healthcare, and finance agent. She learned to read around age two and embraced reading as the key to possibility. Taught by her mother to sew, crochet, knit, and embroider at age five, she later supported her family by creating prom, wedding, and special-occasion attire. Fancy Party Gowns follows Ann Cole Lowe, who grew up sewing in her family’s Alabama shop in the early 1900s, continued after her mother’s passing when she was sixteen, and studied fashion while segregated from her class. Her artistry led to iconic creations, including Jackie Kennedy’s wedding dress and Olivia de Havilland’s Oscar gown for To Each His Own. The picture book shines a light on a visionary designer who persevered through hardship and poured her passion into elegant gowns.

Way Down Wanderers

Ignition Music Garage hosts The Way Down Wanderers with Clara Wilson for a harmony-rich, string-forward roots pop performance grounded in real stories. The five-piece from Peoria blends bluegrass finesse with adventurous arrangements, allowing each song to find its own mix of Americana and pop.

The new material explores growth, recovery, self-forgiveness, fatherhood, and connection, pairing candid lyrics with luminous vocals and agile instrumentation. Songs on the record range from the aching Codeine, Rest, & Loneliness to the communal spark of The Wire, the resilient Hard Times, the tender Dark Marks, and reflections like Forever and Two Parts One Heart, with Hiding, Everything’s Made of Sand, Parkside Drive, and Love Is My Gospel further revealing the band’s breadth. Led by co-writers and vocalists Collin Krause and Austin Krause-Thompson alongside John Merikoski, John Williams, and Travis Kowalsky, the group’s live show moves easily from intimate hush to collective release.

Watchhouse

Watchhouse, the North Carolina based duo of Andrew Marlin & Emily Frantz, have announced a new studio album called Rituals, due out May 30, 2025 via Tiptoe Tiger Music / Thirty Tigers. The collection marks the pair’s first release of all new, original songs since their 2021 self-titled album, which earned praise from Rolling Stone (“pristine acoustic picking collides with hazy, dream-like psychedelia”) Mojo, NPR Music, American Songwriter and more. Starting over a decade ago playing coffee shops and local restaurants around North Carolina, Watchhouse is a grassroots success story that’s been driven by Marlin’s poignant songwriting. With sold-out shows at legendary venues like Red Rocks and the Ryman Auditorium, and hundreds of millions of streams, they’ve earned a reputation for creating music that “redefines roots music for a younger generation” (Washington Post). The duo – now with a family of their own – are two singers and musicians with profound chemistry, performing earnest yet masterfully crafted songs that encompass the unknowable mysteries, existential heartbreak, and communal joys of modern life. The forthcoming album is no exception.

Jimmie Vaughan & The Tilt-A-Whirl Band

When it comes to the blues today, there are a handful of guiding lights to make sure the music stays true to its history. For Jimmie Vaughan, he's dedicated his life to making sure the blues not only stays alive, but remains full of life and an inspiration to all who listen. It's a spirit he holds close to him, and for almost 60 years, Vaughan isn't about to stop now. As a bandleader, singer and guitarist, the four time Grammy Award winner, Jimmie Vaughan is a master of how everything is captured for posterity. "Playing what you feel has always been my main goal," Vaughan says. Considering the Texas guitarist and singer has had the kind of career that makes him a living legacy, those are no idle words. His first group when he was 13 years old played Dallas' Hob Nob Lounge six nights a week, learning the kind of lessons that can't be taught, they have to be lived. Getting the chance to open for Jimi Hendrix when he was 16 years old along with being heavily influenced by B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Albert King, Freddie King and so many more, convinced the young Vaughan it was time to find a way to play the music he felt the strongest about: the blues. That took him to hitchhiking to Austin in the early 70's and carving out a new crew of blues players who shared his musical excitement. He formed The Fabulous Thunderbirds and their debut album "Girls Go Wild" on Takoma Records was released in 1979. After worldwide success with The Fabulous Thunderbirds during the 80's, it came time to leave the band and build his own path in exploring different approaches to the blues. He and his brother Stevie Ray Vaughan collaborated and released "Family Style" to great acclaim and recognition in the music industry. He then released his first solo album on Epic Records in the early 90's and what Vaughan discovered was that he could take it anywhere; there were no boundaries. "I wanted to find out what I could really do," he says, "and when I started singing it gave me a whole new side to explore. When I was young I didn't really pay much attention to categories of music. I just heard what I liked and decided to explore that and that's really what I'm still doing." Jimmie is continuing his love affair with and staying spiritually connected to the American music he loves.

Darci Lynne

Darci Lynne turned 21 in 2025. As an actor, singer, and ventriloquist, she was just 12 years old when she paired her love of music with a traditionally male-dominated art form, captivating audiences across the country on NBC's America's Got Talent. She became one of the youngest winners in the show's history-and the youngest ventriloquist ever to win a televised talent competition-garnering over 90 million views on AGT's YouTube channel and earning a finalist performance that remains one of the most-watched in franchise history. Before her breakout win, she appeared on Little Big Shots in 2016. Her Golden Buzzer performance on AGT quickly became one of the most-viewed acts in the show's history. Her 2017 win was followed by her highly rated 2018 NBC Christmas special My Hometown Christmas, featuring Toby Keith and Kristin Chenoweth and reaching over 9 million households, as well as a 50-stop U.S. tour that sold more than 100,000 tickets and grossed $5.2 million-all while she was still in middle school. Darci Lynne has been credited with transforming the face and popularity of ventriloquism, making the art form a female-driven force through her talent, stagecraft, and social media presence. Fans have embraced her colorful cast of puppets-Petunia, Oscar, Edna, and Andy-each brought to life with distinct personalities.
