Join us from 4- 6 for a great evening listening to Curtis Clay Reynolds

About Curtis Reynolds:
Throughout my childhood, I lived in multiple places because of my father’s military career. Music was a common fixture that always seemed to be playing in the background and around the age of 8, that music really began to peak my creative curiosities. With my Dad’s record collection occupying my free time on the weekends, everything from the Beatles, Otis Redding, Neil Diamond, Bruce Springsteen, my musical stylings started to shape. A few years later, I got my first piano and I haven’t stopped since. Whether I’m sharing my own songs or covering some old Motown classics, you can hear and feel the influences that started to shape when a son began to listen to all of his Dad’s old records. Excited for the 2024 season following a 48 show year in 2023! Can’t wait to continue sharing some old and new songs for you and so thankful for this life! CCR.
