All ages are invited to a gathering of some of the best pickers in the region playing bluegrass and old time standards. Bring your instrument and play along! Bring a covered dish to share for a potluck. No cover charge.

Music in the Rafters has been a home town tradition for years at Mike and Opie Wright^aEURTMs house on Elm Street. Every other Sunday they set up a sound system, bring out the lawn chairs and open their back barn to house one of the greatest Bluegrass jam sessions in Ohio. Veterans in the music scene, Mike, Opie, and their son Brad have played together in the Wright Family Band and have participated in many other local bands and music events. Their network of musical friends and contacts extends far and wide, and when they bring them all together they make music to raise the rafters. Brad Wright is known for his popular group Nashville Crush http://www.nashvillecrush.com/, which also features Mike on the banjo.

On November 14, the party moves indoors to the Town Hall Concert Series. Not only is this Sunday the season finale of Music in the Rafters, it is also a birthday celebration for Opie^aEURTMs mother Polly Pursell, a 20 year cancer survivor. Join the Wrights in this special celebration of song and family with a collection of performers on guitars, bass, banjos, sax, harmonica, slide guitar, mandolin and more!
