LIVE STREAM CONCERT ON JULY 16!!
DON WHITE
Thursday, July 16, 2020 at 7 p.m. EDT
LIVE STREAM via Zoom and YouTube
There is no one-word description for what Don White does. He’s an award-winning singer/songwriter, a comedian, an author, and a storyteller. He’s been bringing audiences to laughter and tears for thirty years, released ten CDs, three live DVDs, and a book, Memoirs of a C Student.
This event will be interactive – meaning that Don and the audience will be able to hear laughter and applause as it happens. At the end of the show, there will be an after party with Don and maybe a surprise guest or two!

FUTURE OF INDY FOLK SERIES EVENTS?
Friends, we hope you are safe and well during these difficult days.
Many of you have asked about upcoming concerts at the Indy Folk Series, and the answer, unfortunately, is that we simply do not know. We had our 2020/2021 season line up in place by early March, and were set to announce it in May….and then the world changed very quickly. So our next season, scheduled to run September 2020 – May 2021, is “booked,” but has not been announced due to the uncertainty surrounding in-person gatherings. Rest assured, as soon as we have more information we will share it with you.
In the meantime, the Indy Folk Series, along with everyone is the Arts Community, is actively seeking new ways to stay connected with you and with the music we love so much! Some of you may be wondering what you can do to help performing artists whose music brings us so much joy:
- Support a virtual concert. Many artists are live streaming concerts on YouTube, Facebook, Stage It, and various other online platforms. You can attend a virtual concert, and support them via PayPal, or in some cases buy an online “ticket.” We’ll share information about a few of those concerts on our Facebook page.
- Become a Patron of the Arts! Many performers offer their fans a way to support them directly with monthly contribution, in any amount you chose, as part of their Patreon program.
- Buy CDs or other merchandise directly from the performer’s website: direct is always best!
- Contribute to an artist relief fund, such as the Arts Council of Indianapolis emergency relief fund: www.
indykeepscreating.org. - And anything else you can think of!
Finally, for those who purchased a 2019/2020 Flex Pass: we know that you probably used very few of your admissions, and we will gladly honor the 2019/2020 Flex Pass for future concerts, to be announced.
We miss your smiling faces and we miss the experience of live music. Stay safe until we meet again,
Your Indy Folk Series Board of Directors,
