A Live Music Presentation by Frank Fairfield and Carlos y Charlos!

Doors: 7:30 PM / Show: 8 PM

JUST ADDED: Special guests Carlos y Charlos will be joining Frank in his journey through American string music history!

Journey through the history of American music with Frank Fairfield and special guests! Consider this BBMT’s very own Prairie Home Companion, but of course, it’s all on strings!
Frank Fairfield will showcase styles, histories, and stories as they influence and impact the evolution of American string music—and a peek into the inspiration and production of our first new show in 40 years, Choo Choo Revue. 

This event is free, but registration is required.
