DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHARE\n\n\n\n\nPaint a customized 2’ x 2’ barn quilt on exterior grade aluminum.  Select your design from our Catalog. We draw the design and you paint it in any color(s)* that you pick the day of the class using high gloss professional grade sign painters lettering enamel.  No skill required!!!  Anybody can do it.  The sign is lightweight and can be hung inside or outside without any further treatment. \nPRICING AND CLASS SIZE:  Classes are limited to 24 people.  $50per person.  Additional charges for custom lettering or designs.  We provide all the supplies. \nHOW TO SIGN UP:   First come first served!   Classes fill up fast!!  Submit the Registration Form on BARNS & BREWS webpage (www.barnsandbrews.com) with your name\, email address\, date of class you would like to attend\, and your design choice.   You will be notified in 24-48 hours if your spot in the class is confirmed.  If the class is full\, you will be notified via email.  If you do not receive a confirmation email\, feel free to email (info@barnsandbrews.com) or text Deanna (319-560-6789).  You do not have a confirmed spot until you receive a return confirmation email.  We apologize if you cannot get into a class.  We are scheduling as many as we can to fit everyone in. \nHOW TO PAY:  Bring cash or check the day of the class.  We cannot take cards at this time.  Be sure to confirm and pay for any customizations at the beginning of the class. \nWHAT TO BRING:  All you need to bring is your creativity and a beverage of your choice (alcoholic or non).  Be sure to wear painting clothes or smocks. This paint does not wash out! \nDESIGN SELECTION:  The current catalog is located on the BARNS & BREWS Facebook page and on the BARNS & BREWS web page.  On the Facebook page\, it is located on the main feed or in the PHOTOS section under the Album entitled CATALOG.  Each design has a number.  The catalog shows different variations of a single design.  We only need to know the number of the design you like.  We can make the variations the day of the class.   Submit your design choice on the BARNS & BREWS web page using the required Registration Form as soon as possible to reserve your spot.  Colors are selected the day of the class.   We periodically post new designs on our FB page.  These can also be painted in the class even if they aren’t in the catalog yet. \nEach design will have a difficulty designation:\n(E) = Easy          (I) = Intermediate     (D) = Difficult \nIntermediate = Includes curved lines to cut and/or some color-next-to-color freehand painting.\nDifficult = Includes lots of curved lines to cut and/or lots of color-next-to-color freehand painting. \n*COLOR SELECTION: When picking your colors\, keep in mind that due to the drying time of the enamel paint and the process we use to paint the signs\, it is best not to paint color next to color.  Color-next-to-color painting requires a steady hand and freehand painting. The colors may run and bleed into each other. Therefore\, it is best to keep white space between each color.  There are a few designs in our catalog with some color-next-to-color painting which takes a steady hand\, but the majority of them are easy enough for any novice. \nMOUNT VERNON PRIVATE PARTIES:  Private parties located at the Mount Vernon Community Center can be scheduled with a minimum of 12 people.  The parties can be held at the Mount Vernon Community Center for a $45 room rental.  If you want a private party at the Community Center\, you pay the $45. You can bring snacks and drinks (alcoholic or non). If you do not have 12 or do not want to pay the $45 room rental for a private class\, we can open up the class to the public to fill the empty spots up to 24 people and we will pay the $45 Community Center charge. \n“AWAY” PRIVATE PARTIES:  Minimum Class Size.  For private “away” classes\, we have different minimum class sizes depending on how far we have to travel.   Minimum of 14 people.   If we do not have confirmed registrations 1-2 days before the class\, we will have to cancel the class.   We can do a class up to 24 people.   If you think you could get more than 24\, we would be willing to do back-to-back classes in one day.   Location\, Tables and Chairs.   We must have a place big enough for your minimums. We need one six foot table for every 2 people. A class of 24 would require 12 tables.  Class of 14 could require 7 tables. Plus one additional table for our paints and supplies.   We ask that you provide all the tables and chairs.   We bring everything else.   Price. $50 per person plus a surcharge for gas and our extra travel time\,.   $5.00 extra per person for away classes up to 50 miles away with a minimum of 14 people / $10.00 extra per person for classes 51 to 100 miles away with a minimum of 20 people / $15.00 extra per person over 101 miles with a minimum of 24 people.   If you want to keep cost down for the guests\, we have had some hosts pay the extra travel costs themselves. \nCUSTOMIZATIONS:   Some customizations hand painted and/or designed by Hugh can be done with pre-approval.  Minimal customizations such as the addition of a hand painted letter on Designs # 10 or #13 is an additional $10 charge.  Custom designs not included in our catalog can be done if approved by Hugh for an additional $15-$20 as long as they do not have a lot of color-next-to-color painting and can be drawn to work with the BARNS & BREWS process.  Submit any customizations with your design choice when reserving your spot using the Reservation Form on our Classes page.  We will confirm in your return confirmation email whether or not the customizations are approved. \nCONTACT:  If you have questions\, please Contact Us via our BARNS & BREWS Facebook page or webpage   Or text or call Deanna (319) 560-6789. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nBARNS & BREWS team consists of Hugh\, Jean and Deanna.   The creation of BARNS & BREWS is based on the talents of Hugh.  Hugh is a self-employed sign painter and pinstriper. He is incredibly talented and his work is well known.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJean is Hugh’s wife and works as a nurse.   Deanna is a long-time friend and works full-time at a law firm. \nIn 2015\, Deanna and Jean finished a weekly pottery class and just weren’t ready to quit being creative.  We gathered a few friends and started monthly craft nights.  When it was Jean’s turn\, Hugh came up the concept of painting barn quilts.  Hugh paints barn quilts for sale but developed the BARNS & BREWS method so that all of us could paint a beautiful barn quilt. \nOver the summer of 2015\, Hugh\, Jean and Deanna tested the BARNS & BREWS concept with friends and family.   We quickly realized we had something fun and special. \n\n\n\n\n\nPLEASE SHARE

SUMMARY:Radoslav Lorkovic plays Mount Vernon's LilFest
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHARERadoslav Lorković began touring at age 20 with Iowa City’s Bo Ramsey and the Sliders. Lorković entered the band having mastered the styles of boogie-woogie greats such as Albert Ammons\, Pete Johnson\, Freddie Slack etc.. Ramsey’s influence drove Lorković deeper to the core of the blues. The music of Howlin’ Wolf\, Muddy Waters and Little Walter shifted Lorković’s focus to the basics as he began to draw from the styles of Otis Spann and Pinetop Perkins. \nSeveral years later Lorković and Ramsey joined forces with Greg Brown adding musical authenticity to his deep Iowa Roots. At this time Lorković was simultaneously brushing up on his classical heritage and looking south to the polyrhythmic sounds of Professor Longhair and James Booker. He had picked up Tex-Mex and Zydeco accordion as well. \nIn 1990 he made his solo recording debut.  Six CDs later\, Lorković currently tours the world regularly appearing at prestigious events such as the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival\, WOMAD\, Winnipeg\, Calgary\, Edmonton and Ottawa folk festivals\, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival\, Mountain Stage\, Prairie Home Companion\, eTown as well as a litany of Italian castles and villas. \nDrawing from a multitude of influences ranging from elegant classical and jazz styles to the rawest\, most basic blues\, country and soul\, Radoslav Lorković has taken on an unusually broad musical spectrum and refined it into his distinctive piano style. \nHis tenure on the R&B and folk circuits has culminated in five critically acclaimed solo recordings and numerous appearances on the recordings of and performances with artists including Odetta\, Jimmy LaFave\, Ribbon of Highway Woody Guthrie Tribute\, Greg Brown\, Richard Shindell\, Ellis Paul\, Ronny Cox\, Dave Moore\, Andy White\, and Bo Ramsey. \nHis thirty year touring career has led him from the taverns of the upper Mississippi River to the castles of Italy\, The Canary Islands\, The Yup’ik villages of Alaska\, The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall. \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nBorn in Zagreb\, Croatia in 1958\, Lorković’s initial exposure to music can be attributed to two grandmothers. Antonija\, his maternal Grandmother\, sang him Croatian\, Slovenian and Czech folk songs since birth. At age one he was reported to be singing back on pitch. \nBy age three he was putting on floor shows for his grandfather and friends who would respond by showering him with coins yelling “pivaj Radoslav pivaj!” During this time classical music played in the home constantly due to the influence of his paternal grandmother Melita Lorković\, a internationally renown classical pianist. After this blend of central European musical influences Radoslav moved to the United States at age six. He had a foothold on a classical music career when at age fourteen he was sidetracked by a blues scale that a friend had taught him. \nTicket Prices\n$5 for students\, General Admission $20\, Sponsor $50.  Tickets can be purchased in person or online at https://lorkovic.bpt.me \nGeneral Information About the Concert\nA LilFest Concert is an intimate concert in a relaxed setting. Bring your own beverages and snacks into the theatre with purchase of the Uptown Theatre venue’s First St. Community Center drink cup ($5). \nRemember: You can reserve an early dinner before the concert at the Palisades Café\, mention LilFest\, and receive the evening’s LilFest special. \nMore at: www.radoslavlorkovic.com \nPLEASE SHARE

We draw the design and you paint it in any color(s)* that you pick the day of the class using high gloss professional grade sign painters lettering enamel.  No skill required!!!  Anybody can do it.  The sign is lightweight and can be hung inside or outside without any further treatment. \nPRICING AND CLASS SIZE:  Classes are limited to 24 people.  $50per person.  Additional charges for custom lettering or designs.  We provide all the supplies. \nHOW TO SIGN UP:   First come first served!   Classes fill up fast!!  Submit the Registration Form on BARNS & BREWS webpage (www.barnsandbrews.com) with your name\, email address\, date of class you would like to attend\, and your design choice.   You will be notified in 24-48 hours if your spot in the class is confirmed.  If the class is full\, you will be notified via email.  If you do not receive a confirmation email\, feel free to email (info@barnsandbrews.com) or text Deanna (319-560-6789).  You do not have a confirmed spot until you receive a return confirmation email.  We apologize if you cannot get into a class.  We are scheduling as many as we can to fit everyone in. \nHOW TO PAY:  Bring cash or check the day of the class.  We cannot take cards at this time.  Be sure to confirm and pay for any customizations at the beginning of the class. \nWHAT TO BRING:  All you need to bring is your creativity and a beverage of your choice (alcoholic or non).  Be sure to wear painting clothes or smocks. This paint does not wash out! \nDESIGN SELECTION:  The current catalog is located on the BARNS & BREWS Facebook page and on the BARNS & BREWS web page.  On the Facebook page\, it is located on the main feed or in the PHOTOS section under the Album entitled CATALOG.  Each design has a number.  The catalog shows different variations of a single design.  We only need to know the number of the design you like.  We can make the variations the day of the class.   Submit your design choice on the BARNS & BREWS web page using the required Registration Form as soon as possible to reserve your spot.  Colors are selected the day of the class.   We periodically post new designs on our FB page.  These can also be painted in the class even if they aren’t in the catalog yet. \nEach design will have a difficulty designation:\n(E) = Easy          (I) = Intermediate     (D) = Difficult \nIntermediate = Includes curved lines to cut and/or some color-next-to-color freehand painting.\nDifficult = Includes lots of curved lines to cut and/or lots of color-next-to-color freehand painting. \n*COLOR SELECTION: When picking your colors\, keep in mind that due to the drying time of the enamel paint and the process we use to paint the signs\, it is best not to paint color next to color.  Color-next-to-color painting requires a steady hand and freehand painting. The colors may run and bleed into each other. Therefore\, it is best to keep white space between each color.  There are a few designs in our catalog with some color-next-to-color painting which takes a steady hand\, but the majority of them are easy enough for any novice. \nMOUNT VERNON PRIVATE PARTIES:  Private parties located at the Mount Vernon Community Center can be scheduled with a minimum of 12 people.  The parties can be held at the Mount Vernon Community Center for a $45 room rental.  If you want a private party at the Community Center\, you pay the $45.

If you do not have 12 or do not want to pay the $45 room rental for a private class\, we can open up the class to the public to fill the empty spots up to 24 people and we will pay the $45 Community Center charge. \n“AWAY” PRIVATE PARTIES:  Minimum Class Size.  For private “away” classes\, we have different minimum class sizes depending on how far we have to travel.   Minimum of 14 people.   If we do not have confirmed registrations 1-2 days before the class\, we will have to cancel the class.   We can do a class up to 24 people.   If you think you could get more than 24\, we would be willing to do back-to-back classes in one day.   Location\, Tables and Chairs.   We must have a place big enough for your minimums. We need one six foot table for every 2 people. A class of 24 would require 12 tables.  Class of 14 could require 7 tables.

SUMMARY:Emmy Nominated Tim Grimm plays LilFest Jan 26 - You're Invited!
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHAREWelcome to another year of LilFest Concerts at the Uptown Theatre. Celebrate the opening of the 2019 Season with Tim Grimm on Saturday\, January 26 at 7:30 PM.  Doors open at 7:15 PM. \nTim’s songs are full of the rural rumblings that have shaped his life—rich with descriptive details\, and sung with warmth and intimacy—recognizing the inextinguishable national romance with the idea of the family farm and the vanishing landscape of rural America. He released the album\, Heart Land in 2000\, and on the strength of that recording\, was named 2000’s “Best Discovery in Roots/Americana Music” by The Chicago Sun-Times. His albums Coyotes Dream and Names\, led to his being named “2004 Male Artist of The Year” by the Freeform American Roots DJs. \nHe has released 10 solo albums since 2000 (including the newest- The Turning Point)\, and 2 collaborations- Amber Waves (with Jason Wilber) and Wilderness Plots. \nEmmy-nominated Tim Grimm is a bit of a Renaissance man in the performing arts world. He has for the past 15 years\, blended his love for songwriting\, travel\, rural life\, and the storytelling of acting (theatre\, film and television). His most recent recording- A Stranger in this Time (2017)\, is a collaboration with his wife Jan and sons Connor and Jackson — the “Family Band”. In the fall of 2016 this same group recorded the single – Woody’s Landlord — which was the #1 song on Folk Radio for the year. Tim’s previous recording\, The Turning Point\, produced the #1 song on Folk Radio in 2014: King of the Folksingers. It was a particularly gratifying honor\, given that the song is a tribute to Tim’s friend and musical icon\, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. Tim’s history with Ramblin’ Jack goes back 30 years– beginning with a bicycle ride that led to The Newport Folk Festival. Tim contributed liner notes to Jack’s Grammy winning album\, The South Coast (1995). Jack recorded Buffalo Skinners with Tim on Tim’s album\, Coyote’s Dream (2003)\, and\, most recently\, King of the Folksingers. \n” The Turning Point is one of this year’s best (cds). Tim Grimm has a taste for melody and keen insight that few of his colleagues can boast. Along with greats like Greg Brown and John Gorka\, Tim Grimm is in my opinion among the best singer-songwriters in the United States.” \n–THE LONG JOURNEY- Roots and Country Music- ITALY \nAfter college (Earlham)\, Grimm pursed an MFA in Theatre at The University of Michigan and from there worked in Regional Theatre\, settling in Chicago. In Chicago\, in addition to his theatre work\, he studied briefly at the Old Town School of Folk Music and began writing songs and performing. He put together a band\, Tim Grimm and The True Hearts and released 2 cds–True Heart\, Kind Mind and Broken Down Palace. At which point\, “Hollywood called”\, and Tim put down his guitar and pen\, and didn’t really pick them up for close to 10 years. \nAfter several years (1990s) working in Los Angeles (where he co-starred for 2 seasons on the NBC drama Reasonable Doubts\, worked on Clear and Present Danger with Harrison Ford\, and appeared in several films and TV projects)\, Tim returned home to Indiana. He grew up in the woods and small town settings of southern Indiana\, son of schoolteachers and grandson of farmers\, and his return home was a conscious choice to live a life of significance rather than one of “success’. He now lives with his wife on 80 acres close to where he grew up. \nIn 2005\, Grimm was asked to compose music and act in a production of The Grapes of Wrath at Indiana Repertory Theatre and Syracuse Stage in New York. His song from the play–The Peoples Highway\, made it onto his next album\, The Back Fields\, which was subsequently named Americana Album of the Year by the Just Plain Folks Music Awards– the world’s largest independent music awards. \nIn 2007\, Grimm put together a concept cd with several of the Midwest’s finest songwriter’s— Krista Detor\, Carrie Newcomer\, Tom Roznowski\, and Michael White. The recording\, Wilderness Plots\, was drawn from the short stories of noted author\, Scott Russell Sanders\, and explored the settling of the American Wilderness in the Ohio River Valley Region between The Revolutionary War and The Civil War. Two PBS programs have explored Wilderness Plots– the first\, a documentary on the story and song\, and the second a full Wilderness Plots- In Concert (2012). Produced by WTIU in Bloomington\, IN\, both productions were nominated for EMMY Awards. Tim continued to write songs based on Sander’s writings and released the album\, Wilderness Songs and Bad Man Ballads in 2011. The original cast of Wilderness Plots will reunite for a select few shows\, and again be filmed by WTIU for PBS. \nTicket Prices\n$5 for students\, General Admission $20\, Sponsor $50.  Tickets can be purchased in person or online at https://timgrimmlilfest.brownpapertickets.com/ \nGeneral Information About the Concert\nA LilFest Concert is an intimate concert in a relaxed setting. Bring your own beverages and snacks into the theatre with purchase of the Uptown Theatre venue’s First St. Community Center drink cup ($5). \nRemember: You can reserve an early dinner before the concert at the Palisades Café\, mention LilFest\, and receive the evening’s LilFest special. \nwww.TimGrimm.com \nPLEASE SHARE

SUMMARY:Live Music - Dave Moore and Phil Heywood
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHARELILFEST PRESENTS\nAn intimate concert in a relaxed setting on Saturday\, November 17th at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7:15 pm) in the Uptown Theatre. \nSongwriter and instrumentalist Dave Moore (guitar\, accordion\, harmonica) and finger-style guitarist extraordinaire Phil Heywood.  Recently Dave Moore and Phil Heywood have been sharing stages\, trading songs and embroidering rich instrumental accompaniment on each other’s songs and melodies. \n\n \nEastern Iowa’s Dave Moore writes and plays guitar\, button accordion and harmonica in a country blues/folk and conjunto style. He is a veteran of A Prairie Home Companion\, winner of Iowa Arts Council grants and recipient of the 2017 Folk Tradition Midwest Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Folk Alliance Region Midwest (FARM). \nOne of the finest songwriters to come out of Iowa\, Moore has recorded three albums with Red House Records and has written songs recorded by Lowen & Navarro\, Greg Brown and Larry Penn. His instrumental prowess on harmonica and accordion makes him an in-demand session player as well; he has appeared on recordings with Greg Brown\, Garrison Keillor\, David Zollo\, Brother Trucker and many more. Moore has opened for such greats as Townes Van Zandt\, John Hammond Jr. and Los Lobos\, and shared the stage with Chet Atkins\, Nick Lowe and Beausoleil\, among others. \n \nPhil Heywood plays fingerstyle guitar with a bluesy swing and a bucketful of whatever it takes to turn an instrumental piece into an arresting lyrical narrative. His lucid playing encompasses the down-home rhythmic groove of a Mississippi John Hurt or Leadbelly\, and the sheer fluidity and melodic flair of such contemporaries as Leo Kottke. The internationally renowned Kottke once handpicked Mr. Heywood to tour and perform duets with him. A soul-satisfying instrumentalist\, Heywood draws listeners in with his voice as well\, singing in a warm\, plainspoken baritone that blends smoothly with his rock-solid guitar work. \nWhile born and bred in Mount Vernon\, Iowa\, Heywood has been based in Minneapolis-St. Paul since the mid-1980s\, performing locally and regionally while also establishing himself in the greater guitar and acoustic music world. In 1986 he won the National Fingerpicking Championship\, and followed up a year later by winning the American Fingerstyle Guitar Festival Competition. He has played on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion with guitar legend Chet Atkins\, performed with fellow acoustic guitar luminaries Tim Sparks\, Pat Donohue and Peter Lang\, and opened shows for such artists as Norman Blake\, Greg Brown\, John Renbourn\, Chris Smither\, and John Hammond. \nPhil Heywood has recorded six solo CDs\, some of which will be available at the concert. \nHeywood and Moore will be available for phone interviews and other press inquiries in advance of the show by calling or texting Nancy Emrich Freeman at 847-256-0000. \nNOTE:  If you reserve an early dinner before the concert at the Palisades Café\, mention LilFest\, and receive the evening’s LilFest special. \n\nTickets\nAdvance concert tickets may be purchased at: \nBauman’s of Mount Vernon\nHelios Stitches’ n Stuff \nor online via Brown Paper Tickets \nor you can by tickets at the door. \nCost\n$5 Student / $20 Gen. Admission / $50 VIP Seating \nQuestions?  Call:  847-256-0000  or Email:  3bearscottage@gmail.com  \nwww.LilFest.org\nwww.PhilHeywood.com \nPLEASE SHARE

SUMMARY:Meet Me Where They Play the Blues - Eddie Piccard Jazz and The Busch Brothers
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE SHARE“Meet Me Where They Play the Blues!” That is the invitation from jazz musician Eddie Piccard. \nThe Eddie Piccard Quartet and the Busch Brothers will once again join forces at the First Street Community Center in Mount Vernon on Saturday\, November 10\, at 7:30 pm. \nThe program will likely include “Pete Kelly’s Blues\,” “The St. Louis Blues\,” “The Salt Lake City Blues\,” and many other blues songs and traditional jazz numbers. \n“The blues is quintessentially American\,” Eddie says. “The music grew out of the songs of Afro-American slaves and field hands in the South. The blues contains so many emotions\, including joy\, sorrow\, and determination. The words may at first sound down\, but the music always brings you up. \nWe love playing for the audience that comes to the Mount Vernon events\, and we know people will love hearing this music. It’s classic.” \n\nEddie Piccard Jazz plays hot traditional favorites and cool Shearing melodies\, as well as warm Latin tunes.  Eddie will be on piano and vocals\, Craig Dove on bass\, Jon Wilson on drums\, Rich Martin on vibes\, and Dave Richter on guitar. \nFor this show they will be joined by the Busch Boys–Marty on trombone\, Larry on trumpet\, and Luke on clarinet. \nThe “Busch Boys”  are very happy to join the Eddie Piccard Quintet for this evening of music.  Larry Busch is a veteran of the Guy Lombardo\, Wayne King\, and the Al Pierson Orchestras.  He has been leading his own big band for many years and is currently the leader of the Dixieland Allstars.  Trombonist Marty has toured with Al Cobine\, Johnny Mathis\, Dick Jurgens\, The American Vintage Orchestra\, and the Larry Busch Big Band. Luke  has played with the Dixieland Allstars\, the Mad City Funk\, and his own SKA band. \nEddie Piccard Jazz and the Busch Brothers\nTICKETS\nTickets for the performance are $15 and can be purchased at Bauman’s Clothing Store in Mount Vernon (319) 895-8692. They can also be bought at the performance.  Patrons are welcome to bring a favorite beverage and purchase a Community Center cup or bring a clean Community Center cup from home to use in the Theatre space. \n\n \nEddie Piccard grew up in eastern Iowa\, and began playing music on his grandmother’s piano. He left for larger venues in Chicago\, Florida and on the west coast. But he came back to Iowa in the 1980s and has become a jazz icon in eastern Iowa since returning to his home state. Iowans remember fondly the jazz club Eddie and his wife Dallis opened on Mount Vernon Road in the 1990s. But Iowans weren’t the only ones to frequent Eddie’s place. Travelers from other states came to this club for the chic décor and the unforgettable nights of music. Jazz musicians stopped by\, too\, after finishing up a gig in the area. The club was forced to close because of road widening. Eddie now plays regularly all over eastern Iowa\, as well as in the Chicago area and the Twin Cities. \nRich Martin’s career began in college where he was a drummer and a vibist. He took an extended break from performing to teach at Cornell College. But the music called him back and he began sitting in with Eddie’s trio fifteen years ago\, while still teaching. He is now a full-time member of the group. \nDave Richter comes from Dubuque to perform in Meet Me in New Orleans. He is well-known in northeast Iowa as an accomplished guitarist\, bassist\, and banjo player. He performs in Iowa\, Wisconsin\, and the Chicago area. \nTim Crumley performs frequently with the Eddie Piccard Jazz Quartet\, as well as a number of regional ensembles\, including Ashanti\, The Rusty Johnson Group\, and the John Shultz Trio. Tim is a lyrical and sensitive drummer who is always engaged and engaging. \nPLEASE SHARE
