Free concert with Tom Fisch
-
Tom Fisch returns to FENCE on Sunday, November 17th at 4pm to perform in the Great Room. This event is free and open to the public.
"Tom Fisch is a songwriter and singer of songs. To describe his music is a bit like describing a favorite recipe- the first ingredient is tasteful acoustic guitar playing. Second, add Tom's smooth vocals. Sprinkle in a dash of humor. Combine with the heart and soul of an eclectic mix of songs from the great American songbook in the folk/country style, and you've cooked up some enjoyable entertainment."
