Run Boy Run Summer Concert at Ogden Nature Center
From runboyrunband.com:
Existing comfortably in the tension between tradition and the musical frontier, Run Boy Run‘s all-acoustic format blends bluegrass, folk and the old timey American vernacular with touches of classical and jazz. Their music is rooted in the traditional music of the Appalachian South, but is also definitively present in the 21st century.
Box dinners from Union Grill are available and must be reserved by June 11th at 3:00pm
Gates open at 6:00pm. For tickets and more information, visit www.ogdennaturecenter.org or call 801.621.7595
