  • Giving Tree Music - Posted Monday, February 16, 2009

    One of our favorite performers at the Dunedin Library is Steve Turner of Giving Tree Music.  He facilitates drum circles that are so much fun!  Steve has over 100 drums that he brings to your location.   We've had him at our reading festival and summer programming.  Both times we had great crowds of all ages who loved it!  He travels across the state and out-of-state.  His contact info is:
