Live Stream Performances

Ohio Regional Music Arts and Cultural Outreach (ORMACO) continues its live streamed Sunday afternoon concert series with Canton-based guitarist Steve Farley on September 13, 2020, at 2 pm. Farley will discuss music of the 1960s- from the age of sock hops and innocence to protests and the Vietnam war. The program will feature music from Bobby Vee to Crosby, Stills, and Nash … and many artists in between. Farley performs on a regular basis locally. His music features acoustic guitar and extensive use of a “looper.” To stream this event live, visit the ORMACO Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Ormaco.Inc/.
