Music & More 2023

Celebration of our 30th Season!


In 1994, Rev. Randy Bush started the Music & More Concert Series as a way to showcase area talent—as well as First Presbyterian Church and Downtown Racine—while raising money for worthwhile causes. Five free concerts were offered in the church’s historic sanctuary the first year. In 29 years, the series has grown and now features ten weekly noontime concerts with musicians performing in a variety of musical styles and genres during the summer season. The series concludes mid-August with a grand finale evening concert.



Following are the many faces of Music & More 2023!
