A $20 ticket to Sunday’s show at the Historic Orpheum Theatre does more than get you a seat — it helps put someone else in one for the first time. Pippi Ardennia and Daniel Leahy of Pippi & Daniel Music joined Galesburg’s Morning News to preview Sunday’s benefit concert for the Orpheum’s “Gift of Performance, The Power of Community” initiative, which uses ticket sales to fund seats for local nonprofit clients who might not otherwise get to experience live theater. Pippi Ardennia and Daniel Leahy joined Galesburg’s Morning News on Thursday, July 30, 2026. Sunday’s performance brings together Pippi & Daniel Music with a full 10-piece group billed as The Experience Band, for a show carrying the theme “It’s Never Too Late” — and, Ardennia added, never too early to start.
