See you at the Market!

Art Cameron will perform this week at 4pm.

Art is a singer-songwriter whose spontaneous and engaging nature brings his songs to life. He relates to those of all ages since he has songs about worms, gardens, jelly beans, dinosaurs, aging and ghosts! In his lyrical stories, Art often brings a new twist to life as he paints his perceptions of the world around us – funny, ironic, and mindful, mingled with a few doses of reality.  Come enjoy, and bring the kids!

See you at the Market!
