Auburn
Liner notes
Sing an acoustic country ballad about Auburn, Iowa, a quiet bedroom community in Sac County. The song should reflect on the town's history, from its founding in 1888 to the old schools that have found new life, and the memories preserved at the museum on Pine Street. Use a simple acoustic guitar and heartfelt vocals to capture the essence of this small, half-square-mile town where everyone knows their neighbors.
