ABOUT THE CHARITY
Guitars for Vets (G4V) is a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We currently operate over 100 chapters in over 40 states. Over the years, we have refined a guitar lesson program that provides Veterans struggling with PTSD and other emotional distress a unique therapeutic alternative. Our program is primarily run by volunteers working at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, community based medical centers, Vet Centers, and Veterans service organizations.
We put the healing power of music in the hands of heroes. Through our work, we help restore feelings of joy and purpose that Veterans can lose after suffering traumatic experiences and help Veterans productively reintegrate into their communities.
To date, G4V has administered over 40,000 guitar lessons and distributed over 4,000 guitars to Veterans. Over the years, we have observed the many ways that our program is enriching the lives of Veterans suffering with mental, physical and emotional distress. Veterans participating in our program have reported better social interactions, the substitution of music for medication, an improved ability at work and greater feelings of personal independence.
Sunday with the Semper Fi Chef to celebrate the Marine Corps' 249th Birthday? YOU BET!
We'll be open to the public, all ages, at noon on Sunday, 11/10, for our celebration and in support of Guitars for Vets, a charity organization helping veterans through the power of learning to play guitar. Three live music acts, fantastic food, beer, cider, and seltzer for all.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Nashville-based husband-and-wife duo Mike T. Lewis and MaryBeth Zamer, known on stage as The Twangtown Paramours, have made a name for themselves defying boundaries with their award-winning catalogue of Americana, folk, and blues anthems. With a slew of accolades for their three full-length albums, they’ve earned a loyal following, balancing serious instrumental and vocal chops with witty stage banter and a lighthearted approach to life. They don’t take themselves, or the world, too seriously.
With their third album, Double Down on a Bad Thing, The Twangtown Paramours shift gears to showcase a full band, electric, groove-oriented, upbeat, soul-infused, and retro blues sound. “We want people to have fun, to cheer up, to dance, and to start sporting a positive attitude, dammit,” says Mike.
Our Sunday afternoon tradition of live music and local food trucks continues on Oct 27!
