Key of G Live March 17
On March 17, the FCA brings Nashville’s AJ Bisto to the stage for the Key of G Live, a show that Garth Brooks fans will truly enjoy.
Bisto, has been performing on stage since he was 5. The inspiration for Key of G Live developed after Bisto was recruited by a cruise line to perform as Garth Brooks for one of their variety shows. In his show, Bisto dresses like Brooks, moves like him, and sounds so much like him you will think you are seeing Garth himself, according to the show billing.
Like the others, Bisto’s performance takes to stage at 2:00 p.m. on March 17, giving you plenty of time to enjoy one of Folsom’s many great dining options after the show. You can get tickets for this show by at: https://www.harriscenter.net/key-of-g

What is the Folsom Concert Association?
The FCA began in 1994, a group of Folsom residents interested in the performing arts formed the first Board of Directors of a fledgling concert association. Out of their interest and willingness to serve their community, the Folsom Lake Community Concert Association (FLCCA) was born. In 2019, FLCCA was changed to the Folsom Concert Association or FCA.
Today, they continue our dedication to bringing concerts of the highest quality to Folsom and the surrounding communities. The Folsom Concert Association contracts with national and international talent to provide a diversified genre of music for their patrons and guests.
We also provide music to students and seniors who are unable to attend concerts at no cost to them. Learn more at www. folsomconcertassociation.org or simply click on one of their advertisements here on www.folsomtimes.com.
