Kenny Loggins
Sunday Nov 02,
2008 - 7:00 pm ($35 - $80)
 Certain
welcoming voices in popular music can be identified as
soon as a song starts – they’re immediately familiar
musical touchstones, inextricably part of the collective
pop culture soundtrack. Singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins
possesses such a voice, and for over three decades it’s
been inviting listeners in to experience music that
reaches the heart and the senses with disarming candor,
authentic emotion and rich lyrical and melodic
resonance.
From Loggins
& Messina classics like Danny’s Song to signature
solo tracks including Celebrate Me Home and the
GRAMMY®-winning This Is It, Kenny Loggins’
expansive body of work speaks volumes with its warmth
and directness.

Committee was formed in 1965 to raise funds for a Museum
and Art Center. By 1971 local contributions from
individuals. organizations and foundations had
progressed to the point where the City of Modesto felt
sure enough of the ultimate success of the project to
convert the vacated library building into a Museum and
Art Center. the committee's first step was to carefully
restore the building to its original beauty.
