Gary Childers, left, and Ruthanne Levisen, members of the Blackberry Blossoms, joke with the crowd Wednesday during the Brown Bag Concert at the Town Square Pavilion in Carbondale. Childers said the group occasionally plays shows at area vineyards, but they will be playing more often now that all the members have retired. The free weekly concert series begins at noon every Wednesday in May, June, and September. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring their own food or order lunch from a downtown restaurant.
