American Journeys with Aspen Black
Take a road-trip adventure with touring musician, Aspen Black!
Friday June 14, 7 pm at the Library
From clap-along beats to meditative finger picking, patrons will laugh, think, feel, question, enjoy, and gain a deeper appreciation into the culture and geography of America’s towns, cities, highways, byways, landscapes, and rural communities. This multimedia concert features tightly-woven stories set to music alongside original poems and photographs. A Q&A session follows the concert for patrons interested in a more in-depth look at the writing process.
