FEATURED PERFORMANCE
CLOSING CONCERT WITH JEFF DAYTON

To close out our day full of music, learning, and community, award-winning artist Jeff Dayton will present "Say It and Get Out of the Way"–a songwriting seminar and concert where audiences will admire the craft of great classic songs, how effective they are, and enjoy live performances which exemplify said greatness. In addition, Dayton will also touch on the art of phrasing and space, examining what they can bring to songwriter's works.

With music from artists such as Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson, Townes Van Zandt, Kris Kristofferson, and Don Williams, Jeff hopes that audiences will depart with the inspiration to analyze and revise their lyrics and elevate their storytelling to a new level.

With 17 albums to his credit and the only #1 hit by a local Phoenix band in the history of 102.5 KNIX radio, Jeff Dayton is a verifiable mainstay of the music industry.

Over the course of more than fifty years of music-making, Jeff brings not only his songwriting prowess and powerful performances, but also his service as a producer on numerous albums by notable artists.

His debut podcast Count it Off! offers a fresh new window into the world of music, with listeners worldwide and acclaimed guests such as David Sandler (Brian Wilson co-producer, Tab Laven (Art Garfunkel guitarist), among many others.
