VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Music in the City Park Bandshell is back! Dan Brekke and his band will kick off the year on Wednesday, June 1 at 7:15 pm in the new VCSU Center For The Fine Arts Performance Hall.

Due to the water situation in City Park, the first night will be held in the “NEW” Valley City State University Music Building on the VCSU campus.

Dan and his group will be playing “A tribute to the legends of Country”. Dan Brekke grew up in Moorhead and played fiddle/guitar in bands with his mom, Kathie Brekke, and family at Jaspers Theater in Park Rapids, MN. He formed his own band out of high school, then started playing with the Johnny Holm Band for several years.

In 2017, Dan moved to Nashville and worked at almost every bar on lower Broadway, and at the Grand Ole Opry. Brekke toured with Kellie Pickler, Diamond Rio, and a handful of other acts. The pandemic brought him back home and after another two year stint with Johnny Holm is starting his own band.

Also, playing with Dan will be Pat (Patio) Hewitt on drums, Rick Schroeder on steel guitar, and Doug Niell on bass.
Come out and enjoy this talented group on Wednesday, June 1 in the NEW VCSU Music Building at 7:15pm.

A free will offering is taken each week to assist in continued work on the City Park bandshell as well as other programs.

Music at the City Park Bandshell is sponsored by the Valley City Parks & Recreation, i3G Media and NewsDakota.com, the Bridges Arts Council, Myron Sommerfeld family, CVB Valley City, Eagles Aerie 2192, Cass County Electric and the North Dakota Council on the Arts.
