Everyone likes to be "in the know." It beats the hell out of being "out of the know," you know? Those "in the know" when it comes to the organization Olympia Acoustic Music no doubt secured their reservations early to see acclaimed acoustic guitarist Vance Gilbert this Saturday - one of the reasons the reservations-required show is wait-list only at this point. Of course, the other reason is Olympia Acoustic Music keeps things small on purpose. Described as a "volunteer-run concert series bringing outstanding folk and acoustic singer/songwriters to the Olympia area," Olympia Acoustic Music explains its approach, saying "Performances are intimate, seating about fifty people, and provide an opportunity to interact with the artist." This weekend that means a chance to get up close and personal with Gilbert - an opportunity not to be taken lightly. Gilbert will be busting out new material from his 10th album, Old White Men. Find Olympia Acoustic Music on the Internet for more information.
