Words and Music was thrilled to present singer/songwriter, Larry Murante and author Randall Platt at a fantastic evening on the waterfront.
Randall Platt spoke of how music influences her writing and shared some of her most recent book, Helli Jondoe.  
Larry Murante captured the audience with his songs of life and people he's known. He made several new fans and thrilled those who follow him.
Artist Tweed Meyer worked her magic as she sketched the performers while they performed. Her posters will be made available for all our concerts.
 
Join us July 24th for Singer/songwriter Darden Smith from Austin Texas. Our own Lorraine Hart will present the words this time as she shares another one of her amazing talents.
Darden Smith

Darden Smith, from Austin Texas, just released his eleventh album. He has toured every state except Hawaii and South Dakota and is well known throughout Europe, playing to crowds as large as 9,000 fans. He's appeared twice on the Tonight Show, Austin City Limits, and recently heard his song, 'Loving Arms' playing in a Home Depot.
His 10 critically acclaimed studio albums, recorded from New York to Nashville and London to Los Angeles, weave together rock, pop, country, folk and Americana influences with the musical roots of his home state of Texas.
 

Olympics 

Praised by All Music Guide as "a singer-songwriter blessed with an uncommon degree of intelligence, depth, and compassion," Smith has created a distinctive, admired body of work and has long enjoyed an international following as a compelling live performer.

Among other things, he has composed an orchestral piece for the Austin Symphony, written and produced a documentary for BBC Radio 2, scored compositions for experimental dance troupes and created a dramatic song cycle for a theatre production now underway.

We are honored to present Darden Smith in Vaughn. 

Lorraine Hart

As a professional singer in New York for several years, she worked with some of the biggest names in the business. She found her way to the Key Peninsula and became an inspiration to the community.
