Experience A Musical World Tour With Jim Volk

Anyone looking to enjoy a phenomenal music performance needs only to visit the Library to find just that. Master guitarist, Jim Volk, will be bringing his guitar playing talents to the Lakewood Public Library.

Volk is a seasoned performer whose solo release, “Blue Wheels...and Other Guitar Favorites,” has drawn much critical acclaim and earned awards nationwide. Not one to stick with simply one style of music, Volk draws from traditional and contemporary styles from around the world. The result is a musical journey that takes you through time. His fiery hybrid style, reminiscent of Kottke, Keaggy and Hedges, has the ability to spellbind audiences of all age groups and backgrounds. With nearly 45 years of music making, 30 years of performing and 20 years of teaching, it is no surprise that with just a few deft flicks of the wrist, his guitar playing has the ability to bring an exciting, fresh energy to old favorites. When not performing, Volk shares his talents by conducting guitar clinics as well as individual classes and workshops.

Do not miss out on Volk’s captivating guitar performance. This Sunday with the Friends concert will take place on Sunday, January 8 at 2 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium. As always, Sunday with the Friends is free and open to the public.
