The 3rd Biennial Staff, Volunteer, and Member Art Exhibition and Honi Deaton & Dream

On June 19th the dynamic Bluegrass Group, Honi Deaton & Dream, performed at the Booth Western Art Museum. Before the concert was the Meet the Artists Reception for the 3rd Biennial Staff, Volunteer, and Member Art Exhibition. The Exhibition, on display in the Borderlands Gallery through July 27th, is truly exceptional. There are a great many talented people involved with Booth Western Art Museum in the surrounding community!

Honi Deaton & Dream are made up of husband and wife Honi and Jeff Deaton, Wayde Powell and Josh Brooks. To those of you who missed it, the concert was phenomenal! Honi, twice nominated for IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year, has a powerful soulful voice with a charming sweet personality. The band started their performance at 7:00pm and played many western inspired favorites, including some songs by Patsy Cline and Gene Watson. They also performed gospel favorites along with both traditional and original blue grass songs and instrumentals. Honi and her band mates told meaningful stories and also amused the crowd by poking fun at each other. Almost every seat in the Booth Theatre was filled as this extremely talented group entertained and moved the audience. It was a great way to end the week at the Booth Western Art Museum!
