Iowa City’s Extend The Dream Foundation operates Uptown Bill’s, a coffee shop, performance hall, and meeting space named for Bill Sackter, a disabled man who moved to Iowa city with his guardian, screenwriter Barry Morrow, in the late 1970’s. Morrow told Bill’s story in a TV movie starring Mickey Rooney.
Saturday, December 8, the Foundation will hold a benefit concert featuring Dave Moore, an Iowa City folk singer and composer known around the world for his many appearances on Prairie Home Companion. Also performing will be fiddle player Al Murphy, and the group Pennies on the Rail.
The concert will be at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 2355 Oakdale Rd., Coralville. Admission is a free will donation. More information at http://uptownbills.org/.
