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. Tonight the Ogden has the Seth Walker. Now based in New Orleans, Seth Walker was raised in rural North Carolina surrounded by a musical family. His interest in music was influenced by his parents, both classically trained musicians. Seth began playing the cello at the age of three but eventually fell in love with the guitar. Once Seth was introduced to the blues by his uncle, he began to trust his own voice and his desire to express himself through music. Be sure to head on over to the bar for this month's signature drink - Mint Julep - *Remember with your Ogden membership all of these excellent concerts are FREE!!!
