Welcome to the 2026 St. John’s United Summer Concert Series!

Why does the St. John’s Foundation provide a free concert series?

• Concerts bring joy to our residents, their families and our staff.
• Concerts allow our residents to welcome you to their home and into the life of our dynamic campus.
• Concerts provide an occasion for interaction and sharing across the generations.
• Best of all, they are a lot of fun and make our community a great place.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all attendees, sponsors, volunteers and friends for your participation and support in making the Concert Series a summer tradition for 28 years for the surrounding areas and community of Billings!

Marcedes Carroll and Doc Elliot Full Band

Opener: Grant Jones
Billings Westend Campus

Marcedes Carroll, born in the Rockies, raised in Montana is a resilient, deep thinking artist with a soulful voice & songs that will cut straight through to the heart of the matter.

Marcedes Carroll began singing at a young age & by fifteen she learned her first guitar chords. She became hooked & played nearly everyday, developing ambitions for performing. She began writing songs & performing at age nineteen around her college town Moscow, Idaho & her hometown Belgrade, Montana.

In 2023 she cut her second project & first full length record at Bandcamp Recording Studio in Bozeman, Montana; with all local talent including Jason Uhlmann on upright bass, Ethan Decker on drums, Mike Koziel on keys, Jackson Holte on lead guitar, Ric Steinke on pedal steel, Stephanie Yeager, Krista Barnett & Sarah Price singing harmony & Austin Texas producer Scott Davis. The record was released September 20th, 2024. “We Lost track of the Stars” is truly a labor of love.

Her sound is best described as country, singer-songwriter, pulling from 60’s/70’s influences such as Patsy Cline, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson, Glen Campbell & many more.

Currently, Marcedes is working on new material for a third project & second full record, playing in a duo & occasional full band with Doc Elliot (singer-songwriter, performer & former touring manager/bandmate with Jaime Wyatt & Kinky Freidman).
