May 16th (Saturday) - 7:00 pm. - Live Music at the LCAA - Long Time Gone. The “Golden Era” of bluegrass may appear to be gone — but not to the members of Long Time Gone. This band brings back to life the classic bluegrass hits of the 1950s, harkening back to an era when Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs and The Stanley Brothers ruled the country airwaves. Long Time Gone isn’t just about traditional bluegrass. The band branches out into old-timey songs of the 1920s and original songs written by band members. Double fiddle tunes, a touch of Celtic, hard-driving banjo instrumentals and quite a bit of instrument swapping keeps Long Time Gone shows entertaining. Suggested donation at the door: $15. Poster coming soon
May 17th (Sunday) - 1:30 pm. - Live music provided by Kris Pichelman's students. Stop in during our Sunday open hours and enjoy recital performances.
