The Volcano Art Center’s Sounds at the Summit concert series continues at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, 2020, at the Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village, featuring guitarist/harp-guitarist Muriel Anderson.

Anderson will take audience members on a journey in music and stories, with a backdrop of visuals artfully compiled by award-winning photo-artist Bryan Allen. It is a musical journey through space and around the world, sometimes whimsical, always engaging, bringing together diverse cultures and settings.

Anderson’s obvious joy of music, humor and her comfort across genres of folk, classical, bluegrass, popular and international music is revered by guitarists worldwide. Her innovative CD that lights up, “Nightlight Daylight,” was chosen as one of the top 10 CDs of the decade by Guitar Player Magazine and her “Heartstrings” recording accompanied the astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery.

Anderson is celebrating the pre-release of “Acoustic Chef,” an international cookbook/CD with a tune to go with each recipe. She is the first woman to have won the National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship and has performed/recorded with Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Victor Wooten and the Nashville Chamber Orchestra. She is the host of the renowned Muriel Anderson’s “All Star Guitar Night” and founder of the Music for Life Alliance charity.

Tickets are $25, or $20 for VAC members. Ticketholders will be able to purchase beer, wine and pupus.

Tickets are available for sale online at www.volcanoartcenter.org, at VAC’s administration office in Volcano Village and at the VAC Gallery in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
