III. Sunday, June 20 at 3pm Music Event with Victor Johnson: To kick off their Summer Reading Program, Tualatin Public Library is featuring Victor Johnson on Father’s Day afternoon. Victor has a growing international reputation for making kid's music that adults like too. A musician, writer, and producer hailing from the Columbia River Gorge of the Pacific Northwest, his first children's CD "Country Blues for Kids" won a 2004 Parents' Choice award and was voted Best Record for Preschoolers by the Children's Music WebSolid rhythm and finger style guitar coupled with a rich soulful voice make for a genuine and heartfelt performance that draws from many musical styles. All ages will dance, clap, and sing to these familiar tunes.
