Wayne Henderson and the New North Carolina Ramblers: An Afternoon of Music
Saturday, May 17, 2008
2:00 - 5:00 pm
On the Museum's lawn
Music is in the air! Wayne Henderson, traditional bluegrass musician and luthier, will entertain folks with his music and homespun stories. The New North Carolina Ramblers will delight us with their foot-tapping, flat foot dancing tunes. Bring your instruments and join in with others for a jam session from 4:00-5:00 PM.
One hundred advanced tickets will be sold for $10 each (guarantees admittance if weather prohibits holding event outdoors); weather permitting, additional tickets will be available the day of event for $5 each. Five dollar ticket holders will need to bring their own seating.
This event is a prelude to the Smithsonian Institution's Museum on Main Street exhibit, New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music, featured at the Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History from July 20 - August 24, 2008.
Tickets available (while they last) in the Danville Museum Shop.
