Join us Saturday night for a free concert featuring Catfish Keith!
Called
a “guitar genius” by Living Blues and
“The real acoustic blues king!” by Rock
‘n’ Reel, Catfish Keith has established himself as one of the most exciting
country blues performers of our time.
Catfish Keith's performance on the Pedestrian Plaza from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. is our Music is the Word finale. For nine months, we've hosted a series of musical
programming for all ages to welcome the University of Iowa School of Music to
its new location in downtown Iowa City.
“This has been a great opportunity for us to share Iowa City’s
rich musical culture through live performances, presentations, displays,
hands-on activities, movies, and sing-alongs,” Library Director Susan Craig
says. "We hope everyone will join us Saturday for what promises to be a great concert!"
