    Patchouli -- Folk Music for the Family
     
     
    Sunday, May 21,
    1-2:30 p.m. Ages 8 & up

    Enjoy a soulful fusion of blazing Spanish and world guitar instrumentals, spine tingling vocal harmonies, and epic folk rock anthems. 
     
    An extraordinary bond is immediately apparent as two guitars merge into one acoustic wall of sound and their innovative, percussive flat-picking and hybrid fingerstyle techniques leave even astute listeners wondering where the drummer is. This high-energy band will get your feet tapping. Register here.
     
    This program is funded by the Friends of the Library.
