Mark Miller Band
When the creative minds at The Bascom place their largest fundraiser within the confines of the exclusive Farm at Old Edwards, you end up with the vastly entertaining Summer Salon, set for 6:00 to 10:00 P.M. Tuesday, June 20.
This annual fundraiser for The Bascom: A Center for the Visual Arts will feature a cocktail reception, an unforgettable glimpse into the creative process with live artistic demonstrations, and a silent auction.
A plated dinner follows with live music, a decadent dessert buffet, and dancing. That meal will be created by OEI Chef Chris Huerta, whose farm-to-table culinary ethos has earned a reputation far beyond the Plateau.
Nationally recognized garden designer Kirk Moore of Oakleaf Flower and Garden will create spectacular florals and dramatic visual experiences. Oakleaf has become the go-to floral designer for elegant weddings around the Southeast.
Mark Miller Band will set the mood with their unique brand of “Americana music.” Mark Miller was performing solo shows when he approached guitarist Dan Hawk and Seth Buell about getting a band together. The goal was to cover the best music from the 90’s to today. After playing at venues around Southwest Arizona, the band was offered a permanent position with Tucson’s largest country venue – Whiskey Roads in 2021.
The Bascom is a mountaintop oasis that welcomes 20,000 visitors a year to free fine arts exhibitions and provides multi-generational arts outreach programming to dozens of local non-profit organizations.
