Walkin’ Jim Stoltz—Special FREE Concert
at the Whetstone Park of Roses Shelter House
The Central Ohio Sierra Club will be
hosting a fun and inspiring concert by Walkin' Jim Stoltz! Seating at the
shelter house is limited to 175 people, so please RSVP to .
Walkin’ Jim has trekked from coast to coast, Mexico to Canada (3 times),
Yellowstone to the Yukon, from high in the Arctic to deep in the Utah
canyons. All those years in the wild places and 26,000 miles of walking have
given him a great love and respect for America’s natural beauty. He shares
that appreciation in his celebratory show, Forever Wild. Walkin’ Jim sings
in a deep bass voice, plays guitar, and tells stories about his travels
while projecting spectacular images of the wilderness he has photographed on
his travels.
Meeting Walkin’ Jim is like coming face-to-face with a
modern-day Johnny Appleseed. He tells stories of adventures from a
near-death slide down a snow field, arrested only by his guitar, to the
solitude of playing his music in the woods with moose listening on. His
shows transport audiences to the backcountry as only he knows it.
Woody Guthrie meets Ansel Adams in Walkin’ Jim’s Forever Wild
performance. The chance to experience his show is not to be missed. Walkin’
Jim’s recent book, “Walking With the Wild Wind” and CDs of his music will be
available at the show. More information can be found at
www.walkinjim.com.
Walkin’ Jim has performed in Columbus before, but this is the first
opportunity to see him for free! The location of the enclosed shelter house
is 923 N. High St. behind Whetstone Library.
