Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Community members will experience Americana and folk music performed by nationally recognized musicians. They will be exposed to a variety of instruments and styles and be engaged through audience participation. Participant evaluations and anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Comments from our survey included: learned about Chet Atkins (master fingerpicker); learned about the cajon, a box-shaped percussion instrument that is sat upon; found a new artist to enjoy; all the songs he wrote had a story and a lot had to do with farmers, the lakes, and areas of the state; how to make a percussion instrument. All attending loved it and wanted the night to keep going.
