So when Park City officials announced they were interested in creating an arts and culture district in Bonanza Park, McGinnis said to himself, “And that’s where we’re going to have our listening room.” To give the public a taste of what a local listening room will offer, McGinnis is partnering with the Kimball Art Center for one such experience on from 7-8:30 p.m. on Friday, April 6. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. “As a kick off for the whole idea, we will do this in the Kimball Art Center’s main gallery,” McGinnis said. “We are looking at the vision at what the KAC does for visual arts and expand the vision into the audio arts -- music, spoken word.” The evening will feature six musicians -- singers and songwriters Kristin Lloyd, Teresa Eggertsen Cooke, Shane Jackman and Molly McGinnis, acoustic reggae singer Omar Gerardo, and a jazz combo presented by Park City High School Director of Bands Chris Taylor.
