The Carrot Spotlight Series presents Spotlight performer: Rick St. Clair – May 27

🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $20 Cover | Youth (12 & under) $10 | All Ages 🎶

The voice of Rick St. Clair resonates with the weight of a heart-worn and weathered soul. His songs reflect on life’s joys and hardships, and give voice to quiet truths. His musical sensibilities take root in the introspective lyricism of yesteryear’s folk, and the melancholic melodies of country and blues. Rick weaves a sonic tapestry of his own.
