Turpin Tunes is celebrated for its intimate, acoustic jam sessions, offering a unique listening experience that is both personal and engaging. As Sylvan Reynolds, a long-time supporter, remarked, “It’s such a small venue that you really can’t whisper in the back and not hear it up here… It is a great listening venue.”
The event promises a diverse mix of seasoned performers and emerging talent, providing a platform for musicians of all levels. Stacey Sanders highlights the event’s appeal, noting, “The Turpin, I’ve always enjoyed it because of its intimacy… it’s always had a real woody, acoustic, small, tight sound that I’ve enjoyed.”
Frank Baker and Carmen Ball, generous sponsors of Turpin Tunes, are excited about the continued success of Turpin Tunes. Frank shared, “If you like live music, it’s one of the most intimate musical experiences you’re ever going to have.”
Turpin Tunes is not just about music; it’s about community. Steve Nafus reflected on the impact of the event, saying, “We heard great music, wonderful musicians, and we made friends that will last a lifetime… It is an excellent experience for the audience and for musicians as well.”
A special thank you to our sponsors, Sylvan Reynolds, Jay Bowers, and Frank Baker & Carmen Ball, whose generous support makes Turpin Tunes possible.
