“Acoustic River” CD flows into Sheldon Concert Hall
“Acoustic River,” a CD produced by the Sheldon Concert Hall, takes a special look at various aspects of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.
The CD, featuring traditional and original river songs, features Mike Marshall and Chris Thile, John McEuen, Kathy Chiavola, Lydia Ruffin, Dave Toretta and Connie Fairchild, Darrell Scott, Mark Holland, Pete Huttlinger, Peter Mayer, John Higgins, Tom Hall, and Dale Benz.
The Sheldon’s Benz, who contributed to the CD, said: “A river can be turbulent or tranquil, but it is always moving to become one with the ocean. More than a lake or even the sea, an ever-changing river makes us ponder this passing of time and think about our lives, fostering a diversity of thoughts and expressions.”
“Acoustic River” CDs are available by donating $100 or more to the Sheldon Arts Foundation.
