Need a little art, culture and music? You gotta go to the show at the Ogden Southern Museum of Art (925 Camp St.) -better known as Ogden after Hours.  The concert starts up at 6:00 pm with Rayland Baxter, a singer/songwriter, born in the untamed hills of Bon Aqua, Tennessee. He tells a story unlike any other, a story that is true and full of unravelling emotion.
