Art for Your Ears concert to feature local legends

Take time to unwind with Art For Your Ears from 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 4, featuring local legends Robin Macy and Kentucky White, in the McKnight Outdoor Plaza connecting the Ulrich Museum with the WSU School of Art and Design. Complimentary refreshments will be served, and attendees are encouraged to peruse the museum galleries, which open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Robin Macy sings from her heart with original compositions inspired by the Kansas heartland. Robin and guitar-slinger husband Kentucky White play roots music that harkens to an earlier time, influenced by their ongoing work at historic Bartlett Arboretum, the century-old bountiful patch of nature they call home.

Macy teaches and preaches the gospel of Euclid and Thoreau as an educator by day while White, a native Kentuckian, is a crackerjack programmer and co-owner of Wichita advertising agency Howerton + White. Their 2008 "Songs from the Garden" recording pays homage to their vintage instruments, other-era duets and lessons learned from loving the land. Come early for seats.
