TAMA — Eugene’s Trick Bag recording artist John-Paul Jones Group is set to begin its series of concert performances hosted by multiple Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion facilities throughout the state.

These free to the post and public events are being produced by H&J Entertainment in partnership with Eugene’s Trick Bag Records, John-Paul Jones Group, Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion posts.

The Patriot’s Picnic Concert Series is an annual multi-event outdoor concert series held May thru September of each year hosted at select Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion posts. The concerts are a picnic style community event outdoors and free to the public.

The mission of the Patriots Picnic Concert Series is to bring the general public, veteran members, auxiliary members and other members and supporters of the local veteran community together in fellowship and camaraderie.

The picnics will feature live music featuring John-Paul Jones Group, a cook-out and educational presentations about veterans service clubs and other activities as organized locally. This is all done through the philanthropy of the artist (and the supporters of) John-Paul Jones Group

An event will be held on July 27 at the American Legion Post in Tama with food by the American Legion of Tama. The gates open at 6 a.m. (camping), and the concert starts from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Admission is free.
