If you’re planning on being out and about the first weekend in April and happen by Old Town Artisans' Dusty Monk Pub, you may hear a bit of the fine guitar work of the University of Arizona Division of Cardiology’s Peter Ott, MD, a member of the Ruff Mixx band playing at the 34th Annual Tucson Folk Festival. The main stage for the event will be at Jacome Plaza in downtown Tucson adjacent to the Joel D. Valdez Main Library.
A regular at the festival, Dr. Ott's band plays on Saturday, April 6, at 5:30 p.m. at the Dusty Monk Pub, 201 N. Court Ave., around the corner from the Tucson Museum of Art, north of El Presidio Park and south of El Charro Café.
