7:00 p.m. Pat
Garrett -
Auditorium - Free
Singer/songwriter Pat Garrett
often finds inspiration from situations that invoke
controversy. For example, when Sarah Palin was a
hot topic, his song "Moose Shootin' Mama" landed him on
the campaign trail with the then vice-presidential
hopeful. It may seem at first glance that songs
about national controversies are odd woven in with
fun-loving biker songs, until you realize they just
reflect what America's all about.....freedom. For
