Project Overview

The Vetted Programs were created by request from SELCO public library directors and intended to involve less library staff time dedicated to individual programming plans. Library staff expressed a desire for a simple, turnkey program approach that they could easily implement and manage for their communities. SELCO and the Vetting Committee maintain a catalog of performers on contract with SELCO to provide their services. Troy is a lifelong professional musician and private music instructor. He is a master fingerstyle guitarist and a world class alpine yodeler. He is very energetic and enjoys entertaining, often using humor and personal stories to connect with his audience.
