The Maple Street Chapel Folk Concert Series in Lombard, Illinois

The Maple Street Chapel Folk Concert Series is proud to bring local and nationally known folk musicians to its stage in a series of concerts that are scheduled about once a month, generally from October through May. Operating costs are derived from ticket sales and the generosity of our sponsors (see below).

The concert series was the brainchild of the late folk singer Bryan Dagenhart, with the purpose of providing additional revenue for the Maple Street Chapel Preservation Society (MapleStreetChapel.org). He was its first Folk Concert Producer and MC. After the first few seasons Bryan turned those duties over to WDCB radio host George Brown, who successfully served the series for many years, and who began the practice of bringing nationally known as well as local artists to the series stage. On George's passing in 2007 the titles were taken up by folk music enthusiast Paul Zimmerman, who for many years has been a regular volunteer at our sister venue, the Two Way Street Coffee House (TwoWayStreet.org) in Downers Grove, Illinois.
