Gala Set for June 7:
Come Celebrate
with Your Friends!
Friends of the Farmington Community Library are invited to attend our annual GALA event. This year's event takes place at the Main Library on Saturday, June 7, at 7pm. Join us for an evening of fun, food, and music! We are especially delighted to announce that The High Strung will provide the musical entertainment!
This Detroit-based trio has thrilled library audiences across the nation with their sunny three-part harmonies and witty, lyrical bravado. Even though they love to sing about books, The High Strung has been hailed by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the best new, young rock & roll bands in America. NPR's Ken Tucker named The High Strung's debut album These Are The Good Times as one of the Top 10 Rock Records of 2003… and The Washington Post called the title track "runner-up best song of the year." The band's videos have been seen on MTV, and they've been given full features in Entertainment Weekly and Spin magazine.
