Over the summer, Lowrey headquarters in Wood Dale Illinois played host to L.I.F.E. members, students, and dealers in different events and functions. Lacefield Music, from St. Charles and St. Louis Missouri, visited early this summer with fifty guests! Lacefield L.I.F.E. members and students began their trip with a quick tour of the Lowrey facility, seeing firsthand the ins and outs of the Lowrey headquarters. Afterwards, they were treated to a concert by Bil Curry and Jim Wieda, where they received a special showing and musical demonstration of the Lowrey Rialto. Lacefield staff and students had an enjoyable day in Wood Dale Illinois immersed in all things Lowrey!
