Route 66 as Musical Muse

April 5, 2022 By Editor Gina

screenshot from original article

Nolan Stolz is a music professor at the University of South Carolina Upstate. Musically inspired by Route 66, he desired a deeper connection to it – so he took a year-long sabbatical to do some exploring along the Mother Road. Stolz plans to write a musical composition based upon his travels.

Route 66 landmarks in Dwight, IL will be featured in a number of his pieces.

Read all about Stolz’s musical journey on The Paper from Dwight, IL.
