Description
Please join us for an evening of music from three beloved Asheville artists โ David Wilcox, Kat Williams, and David LaMotte. You can also pick up some beautiful hand-made Guatemalan crafts, and enjoy complementary Guatemalan finger foods. Proceeds from the night will benefit Senderos, a nonprofit organization founded by David LaMotte and his wife in 2004.
About Senderos

Their three main programs include a primary school in the Maya village of Tzanchaj, a music education program in El Tejar (cooperatively funded with LEAF Global Arts), and Brillaguate, a scholarship, mentoring, and tutoring program for disadvantaged teens, also in El Tejar.
