August “Lunch
on the Lawn”
Wind up the summer on a positive note by enjoying the August “Lunch on
the Lawn.“ On Friday August 1st stop by the Green ville Public Library
to relax and nourish yourself under the shade trees while you groove to
the music. From 11:30 to 1:00 Romer’s Catering will serve lunch
for $7 - or bring your own or just stop by for fun. The menu includes
1/4 BBQ chicken, fresh fruit cup, potato salad, and bottled
water.
As always, $1.00 of every lunch sold will be donated to Main Street
Greenville, with whom the Library partners for these events. In case of
extreme heat or rain, the event will be moved to EUM’s Youth center at
111 Devor Street.
Entertainment will be provided by the popular Higgins-Madewell.
Erin Higgins Cress and Jeff Madewell first met in 2006 when their
former bands were winding down and they were each looking for a
change. Both already had a good following and their first show
together in December of that year went over very well. For a
taste of their sound go to www.higginsmadewell.com.
Erin had been playing guitar since an early age and singing in high
school while Jeff was traveling and playing in bands. Once on a
visit home he was in a local restaurant where people told him
about Erin. He called her to do a couple shows acoustically -
kind of on the side for extra income. He’d been used to big
venues and sounds systems. The rest is history!
From that first show came bookings 3-4 months in advance. They found
they had the same work ethic and mutual respect. Today they
play within about a 50 mile radius from their homes in West Milton
though they occasionally go out of state. They have two CDs so
far - Spiderbite and Sweet Medicine. Some of their songs are
getting air time on WNKU, Northern Kentucky University’s radio
station.
Erin’s been going to college the last few years and is married with two
children. Jeff has a small recording studio and does productions
like jingles, as well as teaches guitar. They enjoy songwriting and
each present ideas they expand
on.
They’d like to expand their listening area and admit ”Our fans jump
started everything!”
