Live music featuring Dylan Galvin,  5 to 8 p.m.

Galvin has raked up numerous awards for his music including “IMEA Adult Contemporary Artist of the Year”, “Phoenix Radio Best Guitarist”, “ISC Honorable Mention” and “Berklee Songwriting Competition Winner.” He is an introverted storyteller at heart, weaving words into his intricate acoustic finger-style guitar playing, looking at the world with careful discernment and trying to balance his inner optimist and pessimist.
