About the Babylon Village Arts Council……
The Babylon Village Arts Council was formed in 2003 by a group of village residents who recognized the need to present various art experiences to the Babylon Village community. From that vision the Babylon Village Arts Council (BVAC) has become an integral part in the cultural lives of its residents.

About the RED RIVER RAMBLERS:
Ken “the Rocket” Korb
Ken Korb has been a name on the Long Island music scene for more than thirty years. He plays a diverse number of instruments and has branched out from the blues to country, old-timey and jazz…. and Irish music. Though he is known primarily as a harmonica player, Ken has studied the Irish whistle for decades. So, of course, the Red River Ramblers have always incorporated Irish fiddle and whistle tunes into their country shows. In honor of St. Patricks’s Day, the Red River Ramblers now perform a program of Irish music.

Luke Powers
