Acoustic Vimala will be making an appearance at the upcoming Fourth Avenue Spring Street Fair in Tucson, AZ. The gig is from 2 - 3pm on Friday, March 20 at the Main Stage on E. 7th Street and N. Hoff Avenue. I've got the support of Geo Melville on guitar once again, and Bruce Silvey on percussion. We will be doing all original music! Make sure you stop by and say 'hey' if you're at the fair that afternoon!!!

Tucson's Peace Fair...

This is how I announced it:

Hello!

By serendipity, Acoustic Vimala is now scheduled to play the 27th Annual Peace Fair and Music Festival this coming Saturday [Feb. 28]. The time slot is from 11:45am - 12:30pm. It is early in the festivities but maybe some of you can make it! The Fair is at Reid Park at the corner of 22nd and Country Club and goes from 11am - 5pm.

I am privileged to have the quality support of Geo Melville on guitar and Bruce Silvey on percussion for this gig and I thank them both in advance for stepping in on such short notice and helping me out. We hope you can get to this great peace-happening, spend an hour or the whole day, and maybe together we can give peace its well-deserved chance!

PEACE ON EARTH!
Peace in ME!
Vimala

...And this is how it looked!

This was an amazing day and I want to thank Geo and Bruce for supporting me with their wonderful music, and thank-you to everyone who showed up and cheered us on!!! This was a most amazing and fulfilling day, to be on this particular stage for this particular event. And a week ago, I wasn't even on the schedule! Serendipity!!! I told my friend Myra, that I can die happy now as this is what I came here to do... sing joyful songs of Peace on Earth for people who share the vision. I am a much blessed lady!!!
We carry on,
Vim
