Darcy DeGuise started performing at the age of 13 as"Kim" in her high school's production of Bye, Bye Birdie!  At that point she was hooked and began taking voice lessons to improve her instrument.  After graduating college with a Bachelor's of Art and Bachelor's of Music from Ohio University, she apprenticed as a Young Artist with Cincinnati Opera.  Now, a high school English teacher, Darcy fills what little free time she has when she isn't teaching, cross-country and downhill skiing, walking her dog, Bosco, cooking and performing whenever she has the notion.  As an educator and a lifelong learner, Darcy values the early education opportunities the Seeds of Learning provides for our young children in Pagosa Springs and is delighted to participate in this fundraising opportunity. 

Seeds of Learning is excited to announce our new fundraiser, Hometown Voices and Nashville Stories. This new event will be a “can’t miss” night, featuring Nashville Hall of Fame singers/songwriters Jeffrey Steele, Wendell Mobley, Danny Myrick, and Megan Linville. This award-winning group has written songs for some of Nashville’s most talented artists like Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flats, Jason Aldean, Montgomery Gentry, and others.

In addition to performances and stories from this group of talented artists, your hometown voices of Pagosa will compete for this year’s Judges’ Choice and People’s Choice awards in a “voice” type competition. Contestants, consisting of both duets and solos, will contend for your donation votes and the votes of our Nashville songwriter judges.

This event raises critical funds to support Seeds of Learning’s quality, NAEYC accredited early learning program.
