Started to put together the dates for this year’s “kouyeas concert series”. We’ve already seen ladysmith black mambazo, victor Wooten and the Wooten bros and Satchvai. Evanescence, Santana, LA LOM, Muse, Tori Amos, and Rush are the ones I’m looking forward to the most. Grease will make it’s way to the sit at some point. It’s gonna be a great season of music!
