Goubeaux’s sponsor Tommy Emmanuel 

Jim and Enid Goubeaux have donated funds to Darke County Center for the Arts as an Impressario sponsor of two Artists Series programs, and have also given an Angel level membership donation, DCCA’s highest level of membership.  According to Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, “We are grateful to the Goubeaux’s who have not only been DCCA’s most generous Individual Supporter for the last ten years, but have also encouraged the increase in Individual Sponsorships by modeling their belief that the Arts are essential to a healthy community.”   

Jim and Enid’s sponsorship will help underwrite the costs of presenting guitar guru Tommy Emmanuel on September 8, at St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville.   Emmanuel’s program encompasses a wide variety of styles including his signature “Beatles Medley,” “Over The Rainbow,” and authentic music of an Australian Aboriginal marriage ceremony.   Known as the guitar player’s guitarist, Tommy Emmanuel attracts large audiences world-wide.  Rawlins states, “We are absolutely thrilled to have an artist of this caliber playing in our rural community; I hope that folks in Darke County take advantage of this opportunity to see a legend.”
