According to a press release, Lindquist is excited about his upcoming appearance in Fountain Hills.
“You will be amazed at some of the things he can do on the piano,” the press release reads. “Even if you have seen him before, you will be thoroughly entertained every time you attend one of his shows.”
This year, Lindquist will be joined by “Banjo Johnny” and “Accordion Ole” for a few numbers to add to the variety of the show.
There is no admission charge, but a free-will offering is appreciated with all proceeds used to fund the SOTH scholarship program. Door prizes will be awarded to a few ticket holders during intermission.
