Hello,
We hope that you are doing well. We are very excited to be spending some time in the back country this summer. We are dropping into civilization for a few upcoming musical performances and workshops and hope to see you there or in the mountains (let David know if you want to join him for some backpacking).
The list of upcoming events below includes events in July, August, and September for your planning pleasure. Musekiwa Chingodza from Zimbabwe will coming to perform and teach in Paonia this September as the first World Music artist on this year’s Blue Sage Concert series. We are excited to host him as he is an incredible musician as well as a seasoned teacher. We hope to see you soon.
blessings,
Arlyn and David
