“ROOTS OF AMERICAN MUSIC” Gary Stoddard may have Utah roots but his sound takes you to distant places such as the Caribbean, Latin America, Ireland, Nashville and New Orleans. Skillfully, this artist interweave the origins of their music while introducing conga drums, saxophone, harmonica, Irish flute, keyboard, strings and other very unusual instruments. The variety will fascinate the students and stimulate their imagination! The Slickrock Gypsy knows how to capture the interest of students through innovative techniques, interactive demonstrations and his electrified personality. Besides an informative learning experience, great music and fun, students have an opportunity to play a variety of instruments from ram-goat hoofs to kazoos.
