A special concert in our BirdMan Listening Room by:
LEE BARBER, with Bruce Golden and our wonderful friends Jodi James and Heather Feierabend. Lee is a wonderful musician, songwriter and artist (many of you have heard his music and seen his paintings before (he happens to be my extremely talented brother). Lee is coming from Austin where he lives and his friend, percussionist Bruce Golden is coming from Jackson Mississippi. It is so much fun to watch these two play together! Jodi and Heather will be singing some of their tunes together with some sweet harmonies- I am anxious to hear that!! $15.00 cover, there will be no food served for this listening room evening, and our usual coffee shop fare will be available before, after and during the break.
