Daryl will play with Change of Plans, a group of 5 friends who have been making great music together for years (Dean Clemmer, Jerry Lehman, Dennis Maust, David Stallings and Daryl Snider).

Frances will play with Heading Home, 4 excellent musicians (Bobbi Carmitchell, Trixie Greiner, Tammi Hessen and Frances Miller), who have recently found joy in playing together.

It's like Sopa Sol has grown! The event will be outdoors in a tent in the orchard on the Hans Herr House lawn, so dress appropriately. Music starts at 5:30.
