Bonham, Texas – The Creative Arts Center is pleased to offer another spring series of Music in the Garden, starting April 3. There will be five outdoor concerts in all, open to the public on Thursday nights at 7:00 p.m. New this year, there will be a $5 cover charge to help offset the costs of the bands.
The Buzz Andrews Band will kick the series off, on April 3. Buzz has been playing all over North Texas for over 20 years. From Johnny Cash to Merle to Sting to Grand Funk Railroad to Clapton – no one does it better! He and his band will entertain your socks off and send you home with a huge grin.
On April 10, the center is pleased to welcome Mark Lafron and Ariana Ortiz to our garden stage. These two are more than just artists, their songwriting skills are an impressive combination of awesome melodies and meaningful lyrics that come from lifes wisdom. Their original songs, along with some truly amazing guitar playing - you can expect a serious throwdown in the garden.
On April 17, the Center is excited to welcome back the talented Michael Tuck. If you caught his show last year at the Arts Center, you already know why he was asked back so soon. Michael plays lead guitar with Pat Green by day, and then does a Clark Kent/Superman switcheroo, and really is one of the finest chicken pickin’ guitar players you will hear. He excels in every style, but his chicken pickin’ guitar is one of the most impressive. It’s a show you don’t want to miss!
On April 24, the band called 78 Live will be playing on the garden stage. These are great friends of the Arts Center that play all over the Texoma region. They bring a ton of talent and fun to the stage, and they play a great mix of originals and cover tunes.

There is something real cool about Texas Swing and The Uptown Drifters will absolutely blow the roof off. Come early to check out the new artwork for the May show.
