Three-time Grammy nominees Trout Fishing in America will swim into the Great Hall to perform “music for people who take their fun seriously.”   An infectious mix of pop and folk music, TFIA sings songs about everything from friends who talk too much to bad hair days to aliens who take up residence in your nose.  Don’t miss the fun!
