"Orly," a native of Australia, below, who has been in the United States for four years, was the first female vocalist to perform in this season's summer concert series.
The sound was superb and the vocals were memorable Thursday evening, Aug. 5, as the Jerrod Cattey Group brought down the curtain on the Collinsville portion of the Canton Parks and Recreation Summer Concert Series. - www.dotcanton.com
