Concert on the LandMAY 29th singer-songwriterWALT WILKINSFREE! STARTS 5:30 p.m.bring your own: picnic, lawn chair,and a dessert to share

If you aren't already a Walt Wilkinsfan, Walt has churned multi-milesbeneath his wheels and gathered upthe ragged thoughts and discardedpearls that help him to render thedistinctive images and charactersthat follow. His songwriting is south-ern roots and road-worn gospel andthe deep creases and genuine smilehelp to authenticate the honesty ofhis witnessing.
