Mt. Morris Jamboree Featuring Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts

Rockford, IL-based Miles Nielsen has spent nearly a decade enthralling audiences with music that draws force from the prime years of Western-influenced rock music and classic ‘60s soul. Claiming influences as diverse as Otis Redding’s classic soul and Jellyfish’s cult power pop recordings, Nielsen has thus far released two albums – his debut in 2009 as a solo artist, and then his sophomore album in 2012 as Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts – to critical acclaim and an ever-growing fanbase.
With this seasoned veteran at their helm, The Rusted Hearts’ seamlessly marry country, soul, pop, and rock, resulting in ten songs that appeal to just about everyone keeping an open ear.
The Mt. Morris Jamboree is a free concert series perfect for the whole family, but donations are welcome.
Bring your lawn chairs and arrive early to grab your spot. While you are enjoying the concert, grab a bite to eat from food vendors, shop the sidewalk vendors and stop in the art gallery on campus.
