Both of these events revolve around libraries in some way.

Nick Edelstein
Thursday, July 24, 2008
Nick’s handiwork on lead guitar is impeccably precise, as each song spills with fervent balance…dazzling, mesmerizing guitar-driven Blues-Rock. Edelstein also shows his intimate side with soft-spoken material on endearing originals. His voice suits the blues man, with performances of “liquid gold.” Dealing with spiritual growth and metamorphosis, his songs yield raw, fiery blends and sinuous lines tempered by a melodic, structured approach that keeps your feet tapping and the house rocking.Mingei World Arts — bringing books to people of La Union Tejalapan, in Oaxaca state, Mexico
