PUBLISHED: January 8, 2009
Come in out of the cold and heat up with the sound of music at the Chelsea District Library. The annual Music at McKune series will kick start at 2 p.m. Sunday with the sounds of jazz and blues provided by M.L. Liebler and Robert Jones.

The series, an annual library tradition, will continue on succeeding Sundays with the University of Michigan Friars, the Glenn Persello-Seefeld Quartet, and Kitty Donohoe.
Liebler, who is also the Chelsea District Library's artist-in-residence, will be joined onstage with local blues legend Robert Jones. Jones has more than 25 years of experience as a musician, playing with some of the finest musicians in the world, including B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker and Koko Taylor. Many will also remember Jones as the host of the award winning national public radio show called "Blues from the Lowlands."
For Liebler, the annual music series "demonstrates a genuine concern on behalf of the library to reach out to all people and help make more folks aware that culture and the arts are essential ingredients to a stronger, better community."
The University of Michigan Friars, a distinguished group of young gentlemen from the University of Michigan, will be making their Chelsea debut on Jan. 18. Founded in 1955 by Walter Collins, a former member of the Yale Wiffenpoofs, the octet is known for adding humor to the traditional a cappella repertoire.
The Friars have traveled around the world performing a variety of music arranged for a cappella, and spreading general musical merriment.
