Notes about the Wofford College Troubadour Series AND the Middle Tennessee Guitar Festival - In addition to presenting a slate of exceptional performers, Admission to the series is free and open to the public - truly a model of what can be done with local, regional, national and private arts funding. Of course my guess is that the organizers would be happy to accept your contributions - support the arts! :)
