From the event description:

The best introduction to Jon Wolfe is the basic yet not so simple fact that he’s a country singer and songwriter.

And to learn his life story — from small town Oklahoma to the bustling big city commodities trading floor to the dancehalls and honky-tonks of Texas and Oklahoma to Music Row, to give the highlights — and witness his faith in the power of music and determination to touch the hearts of others with something that means so much to him.

When: Saturday, Aug. 3, 9 p.m.- Sunday, Aug. 4, 1 a.m.
Where: Ponderosa Lounge & Grill, 10350 N. Vancouver Way
