The Good Neighbor Concert Series
About the Series
The mission of The Good Neighbor Concert Series (GNCS) is to provide a high-quality, inclusive, and accessible live music experience, featuring diverse, underrepresented, and emerging musical artists from across Michigan and beyond, where performers, community members, local businesses, and nonprofits can make a positive impact for the Greater Lansing area, and inspire others to do likewise.
Concerts occur on select Tuesday evenings, once per month. All shows take place at Stage One at Sycamore Creek Eastwood, a performance venue made available to the Greater-Lansing community by Sycamore Creek Church (SCC), a curious, creative, and compassionate church where diversity is celebrated and all people are welcome.

Season 3 shows will be announced on a rolling basis. Tickets for our next show are now available!

About the Artists
Kate & K-Nein is the acoustic soul of the K-Nein music family, led by husband-and-wife duo Katelynn and Michael Krieglstein. Blending heartfelt vocals, stripped-down instrumentation, and rich, interwoven harmonies, their performances are tailor-made for intimate spaces — think cozy coffeehouses, scenic wineries, backyard gatherings, and campground stages under the stars. Drawing from folk, Americana, and classic rock traditions, Kate & K-9 craft a warm, inviting sound that resonates with listeners of all ages. Whether it's a mellow afternoon set or a fireside serenade, their music invites you in and makes you feel at home. Their first full length collaborative bluegrass inspired album will be out the end of 2026.
Jon Torrence is a musician based out of Southeast Michigan. Growing up surrounded and influenced by many different genres of music, his own songs blend elements of roots music, jazz, folk, and R&B. His dynamic performances have a broad stylistic range with storytelling at its core. Along with his passion for improvisation, he incorporates live-multitrack looping into his music which creates unique moments for each performance.
November’s Featured Nonprofit
A minimum of 10% of ticket sales and concessions will support of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Michigan Capital Region, a local nonprofit that facilitates and supports meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and youth (“Littles”) in Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, Ionia and Shiawassee counties. They develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people. For more than 100 years nationally and 72 years locally, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life.

Press and Good News
In Season 1, we were featured on a segment of the coincidentally-named “Good Neighbors with Bob Hoffman” series on FOX 47 News! https://www.fox47news.com/neighborhoods/good-neighbors/tunes-and-togetherness-a-local-womans-impact-through-music-and-giving.
We were also recognized for our efforts at the 2025 Stage One Annual Red Carpet Awards Gala, taking home the Creativity Award! Check out the replay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqaaxu3_jI8.
Toward the beginning of Season 2, we were awarded a small Artists in the Community Grant from the Arts Council of Greater Lansing, which enabled us to be able to offer a couple of events in Season 2 (our November 2025 and February 2026 events) free to the public, including additional arts programming prior to the concerts. This supported our goal of keeping the series accessible to neighbors of all income levels.
Most recently, in February 2026, we were awarded a grant from the Stage One Amplifier Program from our host venue, Stage One at Sycamore Creek Eastwood, which will provide additional coaching and marketing support to increase the reach of the series.
