LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Psychedellos, along with The Fargo Brothers and other special guests, will perform at a special dance party on Friday, Oct. 19, at the Soper Reese Theatre.
The event begins at 7 p.m. Open seating tickets are $15 and the dance floor will be open.
The show is a fundraiser for the Jillian Billester Scholarship, established in 2015 and open to local area students showing a commitment to both the arts and their community.
The 2017 recipients were Gleb Kondratieb and Bianca Torres.
This year two more Lake County students will each receive a $1,000 scholarship which will be awarded at the concert.
The scholarship is in honor of the late Jillian Billester, one-time executive director of the Lake County Arts Council and the visionary behind the transformation of a shuttered 1947 movie theatre into what is today the Soper Reese Theatre, a renovated, vibrant performing arts center for the Lake County community.
Those wishing to make a contribution to the scholarship fund can contact Mike Adams at the Soper Reese at 263-0577 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
