SUMMARY:Thunderstruck:  A Classic Rock Tribute
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, July 24 and Saturday\, July 25 at 7:30 PM\, Thunderstruck: A Classic Rock Tribute will be presented at Linden Creek Farm — a special two-night candlelit concert event featuring violinist Chris Vuk (Blue Violin). \n  \nAfter a sold out performance at Houghton’s Rozsa Center\, Blue Violin returns to the Keweenaw for an intimate encore performance at The Barn at Linden Creek Farm.

Often described as “Trans-Siberian Orchestra meets Lindsey Stirling\,” his performances blend classical virtuosity with the energy of a rock concert. \n  \nThe L’Anse performances are designed as intimate\, limited-seating events inside the rustic setting of Linden Creek Farm. \n  \nTickets and additional information can be found here: https://blue-violin.com/thunderstruck-lanse/
