Love Never Stops Tour

Valentine’s Day comes and goes, but its spirit doesn’t have to be demoted to the post-holiday clearance section. The Love Never Stops Tour offers an alternative: showcasing musicians and writers on the trials and triumphs of love. As artists alternate between songs and spoken word stories, the show will unfold with a variety of styles and genres. Enjoy this unique evening exploring love’s struggles and the hope it holds to help us through the cold winter nights. Eau Claire’s Writer-in-Residence Ken Szymanski will host the event, which will also feature stories by Kaia Simon, Andy Patrie, Lindsey Brandrup, Eric Rasmussen, Rosemary Gosseck-McNeal, Dan Lyksett, and Emily Kassera. Music by singer-songwriters Derick Black and Scotty Hayden.
