HAZEL DICKENS CANCELLATION
Today we have learned that Hazel Dickens will not be able to be with us for her concert on July 15th due to health concerns. We are extremely disappointed, but we are certain that you will join us in wishing her return to good health. These health concerns are temporary and in no way do we wish to project anything more than this.
The evening concert will still take place featuring both the Claire Lynch Band and the award ceremony presenting the Robert H. Chambers Award for Excellence in the Traditional Arts to Mike Seeger and Hazel Dickens. Mike's wife, Alexia Smith, will accept the Award for both Mike and Hazel.
If you wish to cancel your tickets and receive a refund, please email us as soon as you can. However, we encourage you to come be part of this special evening of music and celebration.
