The Heyman Celebration

The Heyman Celebration will be an uplifting musical tribute to remember Vic Heyman and to honor Reba Heyman. It will be a mini-folk festival format, benefiting the Heyman Folk Scholarship Fund and Parkinson's Disease research.

Vic Heyman died on January 6, 2009. The folk music community has lost its "Folk Angel."

Vic and his wife, Reba, shown at a folk festival in 2008, were known as the financial guardians of countless folk performers nationwide. Their generosity ranged from financial backing of folk music venues and festivals to no-strings loans to down-on-their luck musicians (for travel or CD production), to thousands of acts of random kindness.

With this musical concert celebration, nationally touring musicians pay homage to their lasting legacy.
