An original member of Bela Fleck’s The Flecktones, he is the world’s foremost artist on the harmonica with numerous albums to his credit including a concerto for harmonica and orchestra.Our spotlight is on the Art Barn’s 9th Annual Art Blitz on Saturday September 20th with hands-on art activities, exhibits, artist demos, hayrides, live music, great food, and more.Tune in on Sunday at 7pm on Lakeshore Public Media 89.1FM for our hour long conversation with our special guests or listen at lakeshorepublicmedia.org/AOTA, and can also be heard Fridays at 11am and Mondays at 5pm on WVLP 103.1FM (WVLP.org) or listen live at Tune In.
