We will be doing a concert at the Basin Creek Pottery Gallery on Saturday the 14th of August at 7:00 PM.(doors open at 6:30)  John has performed here in the past with Kendra Shank and Bob played with Ann Tappan and MJ at the very first Basin Porch Concert in 2020. I know this is going to be a great night of music and we’re hoping this is a new beginning for this venue. Come help us celebrate! Donations are welcome. Basin Creek Pottery is located in the middle of  downtown Basin, if you cross the creek, you’ve gone too far. (words to live by)
