About singer-songwriter Ryan Heflin

Singer-songwriter Ryan Heflin will headline the Sept.10 concert. He says his intention

as a performer is “to reawaken and renew people’s sense of wonder, starting always

with my own.” Heflin’s debut album, “Where Does The Wonder Go,” is reflective and contemplative, with themes of childhood, nature, the wonder of existence, the beauty and tragedy of the human condition, and “a healthy subversion of societal norms.”

Sample Ryan Heflin's original song, Where Does the Wonder Go?
