The Fabulous Armadillos
Acousti-i-Dillos 2
May 17 @ 7PM
The Fabulsous Armaidillos present songs whose foundation are built from acoustic guitars and acoustic instruments. Songs from groups like America, Gordon Lightfoot, Eagles, James Taylor, Jim Croce, Crosby Stills and Nash, Simon and Garfunkel, and Tom Petty all made this sound popular, but groups like Heart, Kansas, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi and Led Zeppelin also had songs that were driven by acoustic guitars. We will take you “all over the map” musically for another round of Acoustic-I-Dillos with Acoustic-I-Dillos 2 – Acoustic Inspired Hits Over The Decades.
The Cultural Arts Series
The Cultural Arts Series began in 2006 with the mission of bringing performing artists of regional, national and international reputation to local stages. The Series presents a wide variety of quality artists from the worlds of theatre, music, dance, and literature. “By bringing artists of this caliber to Brainerd audiences, people don’t have to travel great distances to see their work,” producer Patrick Spradlin says. “For a city the size of Brainerd, we deserve to have these kinds of events here in our area.”
This activity is made possible, in part, by the voters of Minnesota, through a grant from the Five Wings Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
