Many of the musicians, who are traveling from as far as Louisiana, were originally booked for the 2020 season but have been rescheduled to perform this summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Acts were selected based on recommendations from the community and criteria from the lead sponsor of the series, the Levitt Foundation.
