It is Tuesday, August 23, 2016, and Ken and Mike just left City Creek Post Acute Care after an hour and 45 minutes. These two bigger-than-life guys arrived 30 minutes early, armed with big smiles, two guitars, a banjo and a vast repertoire of songs. But, most importantly, big, soft hearts.
As I went room to room to gather residents for the performance, there was one gentleman that I really wanted to attend the performance. He had been put on hospice just a few weeks earlier.
Don Behrman, known to his music friends and Heart & Soul audiences as Dominoe, left this earthly home on Tuesday, March 8, 2016. Barely 72, he left us way too soon.
Dominoe knew all the standards that our audiences love. He was our story-telling, rockin’ cowboy, Nashville star and sang songs by Elvis, Johnny Cash, Don Williams and Merle Haggard, and more.
Last June, we got to play in the rain! After a glorious start, we enjoyed a new flavor of festival, with diehard musicians and audiences treading water in a sea of music. We hope to see you all next year, on Saturday, June 10, 2017 when once again we will share the music and the joy Heart & Soul artists bring to people who find it difficult, if not impossible, to attend a concert on their own.
Music begins at 3 p.m. with the Stratford Street Big Band at Imperial Park at the corner of Atkin and Filmore Streets.
40 plus bands will be playing on lawns and porches along Filmore and Glenmare Streets from 4 - 7 p.m..
We’ll come back together at 7 p.m. at Imperial Park, enjoy great music with the rock n' roll band JABOOM and will announce raffle prize winners at 8 p.m.
