Steve Askins Swings Back Into The Timbers of Shorewood

Steve Askins will perform at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10, at the Timbers of Shorewood retirement community, 1100 N. River Road. The performance entitled "Swing, Standards & Favorites" is a free event and is open to the public.

Askins has been performing for audiences for nearly three decades. Adept in a variety of musical styles, Askins’ dynamic, expressive vocal style and virtuosity on the guitar have earned him a positive reputation in northern and central Illinois.

Steve’s passion for the songs of yesteryear has led him develop a specialty for entertaining seniors throughout the Chicago area by mixing classics with a modern edge.

“Seniors really seem to appreciate hearing the music from the era that I call Golden Years of American popular music and it is so gratifying to see their toes tapping, singing, and dancing,” said Askins. “I specialize in programs for senior citizens and do nearly 300 shows per year.”

The Timbers of Shorewood is a rental retirement community. It provides independent and assisted living apartments and a full schedule of activities and services. Furnished apartments are also available for a short-term stay — a weekend, a week, a month or longer.

The show is open to the public and admission is free, but space is limited. Reservations are required. For more information or to register, call Shelly Goggins at 815-609-0669 or visit The Timbers website.
