Double the Strum!…Double the Fun!
The Enid Arts Council (EAC) is known for bringing outstanding artistic talent to Enid in celebration of the arts and humanities, and this year is no different. On April 25 at Oakwood Country Club, the EAC, in partnership with NBC Oklahoma, will present their Annual Fundraiser Dinner Event: “HeARTstrings” – Dueling Guitars!
As noted by companies such as General Mills, 3M, Mayo Clinic, and Paradise Theater & Center for the Arts, Dueling Guitars will be a musical evening of celebration, engagement, and solid entertainment by two incredible artists, Pat Balder and Glen Everhart. Both have spent their lives writing, performing, and loving all types of popular music. Pat is a professional musician and has built a recording studio and production company, produced numerous albums for multiple artists, and has used his musical artistry for corporate and commercial music. Glen has sold his own original music, and he and his music have been featured on the Today Show, ESPN, and The Golf Channel. Combined, these two musicians represent a total of fifty years of artistry.
Together, Pat and Glen provide a fun, high-energy evening that will leave you celebrating the arts through a fast-moving and engaging mix of “dueling guitars,” playing classic rock and folk music as well as acoustic guitar hits from a decades-long catalogue of tunes. Together, they combine the fun of a dueling pianos act with powerful, super-tight vocal and guitar arrangements for a ‘dueling guitars’ evening that have left audiences feeling energized:
Spectacular! Dueling Guitars is a ‘must see!’
The best entertainment we’ve had in 25 years!
What talent. What charisma!
Fantastic! We could have listened to them all night!
Three shows in three different locations – and three home runs!
During their stay in Enid, Pat and Glen will also be speaking to the high school music and theater students at Enid High School. Having an audience with two seasoned professionals will give these students the chance to learn from two of the very best musicians in their field.
The EAC invites you to be a part of this inspiring evening that supports the arts and humanities. In addition, it’s an event that also allows the EAC to give back to the community through the presentation of talented artists from all genres. For more than 40 years, the EAC has enriched Enid with support for arts in schools, music programs, literary projects, Chautauqua, Leonardo’s, and Gaslight Theater, to mention a few.
You’ll want a seat at this engaging, fun and lighthearted evening to enjoy good food, drink, conversation, and music to lift your soul! Tickets are $100 and are available from any EAC Member, Visit Enid, or EnidArts.org/Events.
