Patina at Café Congo – Fundraiser for River Arts Alliance

Tuesday | March 12 | 7 pm
First Congregational Church | 161 W Broadway St. (Johnson St. canopied entrance)

The band Patina will perform at Café Congo at First Congregational Church of Winona on Tuesday, March 12, at 7:00 pm. A freewill donation will be accepted with proceeds going to River Arts Alliance.

Patina is a Celtic band performing traditional music on fiddle, guitar, bodhrán, U-base, whistles, flute, accordion and banjo. They’ll also play some bright and original new songs that are sure to please and have you dancing the jig in the aisle! They’re a 4-member collaboration of acoustic musicians: Connie Dretske, Greg Peterson, Kara Mae Prosen and Sue Lee Ringwelski. They’ll be “playing it forward” for the River Arts Alliance, a networking group of local artists, writers, dancers and musicians celebrating the local arts. Doors will open at 6:45. The church is accessible to the mobility challenged at the canopied entrance. All are Welcome, always!

Next Café Congo Concert: Sunday, March 24th at 4 pm: Heidi Bryant (flute) and Meredith Mihm (piano) play it forward for WIN (Winona Immigrant Network)

Café Congo is a Social Action Initiative of the church, raising over $50K for good causes since opening in 2017.
