The Lightning Bugs—Steve Hanson, Jim Pipher, and Reynold Peterson—visited the Nebraska City Veterans Memorial Building on Saturday, Aug. 17. The group plays “moonbeam swing” and takes its inspiration from artists such as the Mills Brothers and the Inkspots. The concert was presented by the Nebraska City Creative District, which will host its next event, the family-friendly Apple Jamboree, on Sunday, Sept. 29, at the Sunken Parking Lot in the 700 block of Central Avenue.
