Each arrangement planned for the workshops has been previously taught at the Dixie Carter Performing Arts Center Duet Dulcimer Retreat in 2008. The arrangements include hymns, spirituals, rounds and canons. Last year, Larry’s Christmas and ensemble workshops at The Folk Center were a huge hit so this is an event you don’t want to miss! Contact one of the friendly folks at The Ozark Folk Center to sign up. Register early because space is limited.

Class fee $90.00 – a non-refundable registration fee of $25 payable upon registration and the balance of $65 payable on first day of class to the instructor. (does not include meals/lodging)

Tribute to Johnny Cash

June 4, 2010

Born in Kingsland and raised in Dyess, Arkansas, native son Johnny Cash’s career was influenced by the Carter Family, Rockabilly, Blues, Gospel, as well as his own personal tragedies.  Perhaps best known for singing ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ Johnny could sing tender ballads as well as songs of hurt and struggle.  Join the Ozark Folk Center as our local musicians pay a musical tribute to his genius and tenacity.  We will be performing his songs as a part of our regular show.

Tickets are just $10 and Season Passes will be honored.
