Welcome to Scott Kirby's Main Street Souvenirs, a musical and cinematic celebration of Classic Americana. Explore 150 years of music through Kirby's live piano performances of some of America's greats - including Stephen Foster, John Philip Sousa, and the ragtime of Scott Joplin! The music and narratives are accompanied by a video featuring nostalgic archival images from America's past, as well as stunning photography and Kirby's own spectacular watercolor paintings of the Great Plains that "touch the soul of the heartland." Baseball games and barbershops, prairie churches, concerts in the park, and one-room schoolhouses - it's all here on Main Street.
Special chapters of Kirby’s program will feature Red Cloud and the National Willa Cather Center, photos and stories of the town, and the community ties that weave the region together. Kirby will also donate an original watercolor painting of the town and will have an exhibit already up of paintings in the Red Cloud Opera House Art Gallery at the time of the performance. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity to celebrate American history on the occasion of our nation’s 250th birthday!
