Diggin': Australian Broadcasting Company Radio - "The Music Makers" photo by Daniel Guerra Shevonne Hunt and her husband, Daniel Guerra, came to visit Music Maker in summer of 2011, interviewing and recording MM's Founders and artists to tell the story of Music Maker for radio broadcast on ABC. Shevonne and Daniel became part of the Music Maker family while they were here, and listening to this piece has brought us so much joy as we remember their visit. They were able to really capture the essence of Music Maker, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we do. -- Aaron and Corinne Quick Links: Website Merch Music Music Maker's founder to speak on panel at UNC School of the Arts, Music Maker Artists to perform Tim Duffy will speak at the University of North Carolina's School of the Arts on Saturday, June 9th at 4pm.
