Country Music

Southwest Florida-based singer/songwriter Sheena Brook and Nashville-based Cajun country artist Sara Douga will perform at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center in downtown Fort Myers, July 21, through the center’s Sounds of Summer concert series. Ahead of their performances, we feature music and conversation with both of these dynamic musicians.

Every Friday throughout the year, WGCU and Sheldon Zoldan have presented a little bit of history and a lot of music. As we close out the year, Fridays in December will go to honoring 5 musicians, singers, and songwriters who left us in 2022. December 16 is dedicated to the first woman of country music, Loretta Lynn, who died October 4 at the age of 90.
