Coach Burt and Leon Redbone combine to create joyous night

The 2010 Coach Micheal Burt Concert Series kicked off on Tuesday night at the Cannon County Art Center in sold-out fashion.

Coach Burt began the event by captivating the audience with a speech about finding your “unique voice” voice in life. Coach Burt was fortunate enough to find his unique voice early on in life through the mentorship of Woodbury resident, Dr. Daryl Deason. Coach Burt touched on his upbringing in Cannon County and the importance of continually giving back to the community he grew up in. He urged the audience to continue in their pursuit of motivation and inspiration as they opened their minds and their hearts to the event.

The first of the five part concert series featured Leon Redbone, whose unique blend of music has grown a following for the past three decades. Redbone was a frequent guest in the 1980s-90s on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

The next scheduled event will feature Jack Legg Stompers on April 1. The Legg Stompers feature pre-war roots music on period instruments in lively, authentic styles by drawing on decades of historical research. They envision to evoke the moods and atmospheres during the Second World War.
