This year we’ll be featuring local legend Dan Henry. Born in the Mountains of Montana\, Dan Henry is a multi-instrumentalist performing year-round as a One-Man Band. With a combination of rhythmic guitar playing\, bluesy harmonica\, thumping stomp box and soulful vocals\, Mr. Henry bounces from genre to genre playing whichever style suits his musical curiosity.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSilent Auction \n\n\n\nLast year we had a great spread of items for our silent auction.  And 2025 will be even better! Here’s how it works.  We’ll have a table with prizes set up next to the band.  Bid on what moves you.  Win yourself some sweet auction prizes (to keep or give to others as gifts!).  It’s that simple.  And a fun way to show some extra love for Merlin.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoor Prizes \n\n\n\nIt wouldn’t be a symposium without togas!  (We’ll be wearing them.  You don’t have to!).

Over the years\, he has played in 20 different bands covering the musical gamut – rock\, soul\, blues and jazz. “And one quasi-country group.” Johnny has been involved with four albums of original music. Two were group efforts (Diamond City and Uncharted Waters)\, and two were solo albums. “Well\,” says Johnny\, “those two featured lots of great friends.” His musical friendships led to the founding of Lost & Foundation\, a local nonprofit focused on ‘Music Helping Humanity.’  \n\n\n\n\n\nJohnny cites several musical influences. “The first was my father\,” he says. “Great jazz pianist.” Others include Steely Dan\, Billy Joel and\, perhaps most of all\, Randy Newman – “delightfully eccentric.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s the EveNING helping to support?\n\n\n\nAll proceeds raised will help support our Fall 2026 Art as Transformation Project — an innovative public philosophy program exploring the role of art in society & our everyday lives. Featuring a unique blend of live music\, story\, performance & media art\, and community conversation\, the program invites people to consider art and its relationship to human flourishing and personal\, civic\, and cultural change.
