Tim Mocny, Bob Sagan, and Ken Yagiela will perform favorites, reimagined classics and beloved popular tunes in creative percussion arrangements with drums, glockenspiel, marimba, chimes, tambourine, cymbals, and an assortment of “found” instruments: the human body, wine bottle, bucket and garbage can.  There is something for everyone and all ages in this dynamic performance.
