Friends.  Family. Freedom.  Food. Social justice activists.  Music.  Pets. Laughter.  Nature.  And dozens of other things.  Despite political turmoil and a divided nation, we have so much to be thankful for.

So join Bill Cohen from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday November 28 as he sings a unique concert of songs that express gratitude for all that we have.  It’s his 12th year for this Thanksgiving-themed concert, and once again, it takes place at Maple Grove Methodist Church, 7 W. Henderson.

Latingrass duo Larry and Joe will be bringing their unique blend of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music to Columbus on Sunday, January 19.

Songs new and old will transport you to the places near and dear to their hearts, and you’ll quickly understand why they feel they were destined to make music together.
