Handmade Guitars
Watch guitar craftsman Jeff Swenson create a guitar from everyday objects found around the house, and learn how you can too!

Guitars Got Style
Picked, plucked, stroked or strummed, guitars are played in different ways in a variety of musical styles and cultures. Classical and jazz guitar instructor and musician Eric Martens will tell us about it and share some of his amazing guitar skills at the Dr. James Carlson Library on Saturday, July 21, at 11 a.m. No registration is required for this all ages event.
