“I feel like it is a season of old and new friends. We have shows like the Annie Moses Band and The Illusionists returning because they were so popular with our audiences,” said Blake Smith, general manager of the Clayton Center for the Arts.
“New friends include the first show, The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra, who entertain with music that ranges from Appalachian Bluegrass to the smooth jazzy sound of New Orleans. Another new show is the California Guitar Trio and Montreal Guitar Trio. I have always wanted to bring them to the Clayton Center and this season I was able to book them together. They have been a favorite of mine since I first saw them 20 years ago,” Smith said. “We hope our patrons will be excited to see shows they asked us to bring back, and embrace the new friends we introduce to them. It is going to be another great season for celebrating the arts.”
