Greetings Acoustic Music Fans:
It's going to be one heck of a show, including our headliner, Caroline Aiken, who has played with the Indigo Girls, Bonnie Raitt, Muddy Waters, John Prine, Art Garfunkel, John Hammond Jr., Arlo Guthrie, Shawn Mullins and whom Bonnie Raitt reportedly calls her "favorite singer/songwriter."
Hope to see you there - and as always, please forward this message to anyone you think might enjoy the show. They can get on this list simply by sending the message "Add Me/SoCal" to mail@...
Sincerely,
Brett
