The concert will feature the talents of David Grier and Matt Flinner.
These talented gentlemen will amaze and please you with a variety of

 David
Grier is known for his emotive yet inventive mastery of the guitar.
David entangles his listeners and delights them with his uncanny ability
to produce an experience that leaves them astounded and wondering if
it’s truly possible for one man and guitar to create. Even actor Martin
Mull has spoken of David's amazing and uncanny ability to move his
audience emotionally and leaving them in awe.
Matt Flinner has made a career out of playing acoustic music in new
ways. Starting out as a banjo
prodigy who was playing bluegrass festivals before he entered his teens,
Flinner later took up the mandolin, won the National Banjo Competition
in Winfield, KS in 1990, and won the mandolin award there the following
year. He moved to Nashville in 1999 and is now widely considered one of
the hottest and most creative mandolin players on the acoustic scene.
