Master guitarists Paul Savaiko and Ray Olson play a satisfying, something-for-everyone mix of jazz standards, swing, bebop, bossas and blues, moving easily from The Great American Songbook to contemporary and original tunes. The Franklin duo boasts a combined 60 years of experience studying, teaching, and playing as solo and ensemble artists. 

This event is produced by the Arts Council of Macon County, with funding from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources.
