Join Locust Grove in an evening of rich cultural history by welcoming Fred Keams (Navajo [Dine]). Mr. Keams will demonstrate the sounds and melodies of traditional Navajo flute music under the breathtaking Locust Grove Pavilion. Through Mr. Keams's expert playing, you will learn about the tradition, skill, and power of Indigenous music.

Fred Keams grew up in Navajo, New Mexico, and is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation. He continues the Navajo's musical traditions by crafting authentic traditional flutes by hand and playing them. He named his business Yellowknife Flutes after the nickname given to him by a friend and co-worker in Fort Defiance, Arizona. He organizes the Native Flute Gathering, which is held every May in Harrodsburg, Kentucky.
