Each Thursday evening in July and August from 5:30-7:30\, bring a chair or blanket\, listen to a free concert\, and watch the sun go down over the river. \nOur presenting sponsor Prive Swiss Wellness is always on hand offering free massages and giveaways. \n\n\nBorn out of a mutual respect for all things auditory and a humble appreciation for an organic evolution\, lifelong friends Frank Natter\, Erin Smith\, and Abraham Wilson have embarked on an unforgettable musical journey. Steely and deliberate songwriting that casually staggers down the line between rhythm and melody\, laced with loose yet conscious jams\, and extraordinary vocals will transport any listener to another realm. Experiencing an amazing live show is one of life’s sweetest pleasures and for the person who is treated to Local Honey\, they will be given music performed with pure emotion\, raw talent\, and endless gratitude. \n\n\n\n\n\nIn case of inclement weather\, please check our site.

Please no BYOB.\nBeer and wine are available for purchase. Porky Pete’s is onsite and has options for dinner or snacks. \nWant to get out on the water?\nTake a sunset cruise aboard the Onrust.

SUMMARY:Thursdays on the Dock: John Spignesi Band
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays on the Dock\nJohn Spignesi Band\nThursday\, July 20\, 2023\n5:30 – 7:30 pm \nThursdays on the Dock has been a shoreline staple for 14 years and is still the destination for waterfront music. Each Thursday evening in July and August from 5:30-7:30\, bring a chair or blanket\, listen to a free concert\, and watch the sun go down over the river. \nOur presenting sponsor Prive Swiss Wellness is always on hand offering free massages and giveaways. \n\n\nJSB seeks that musical and emotive sweet spot between rock’s psychedelic swagger and the honest lyricism of John Spignesi’s songwriting. \nThe New Haven based trio is: vocalist and songwriter John “Spigs” Spignesi on guitar\, with Joe Jeffery (bass) and Matt Alling (drums). Together they hang out and like to consider what they share as “Music For Your Soul.” \nJSB’s performance is grounded in a brotherhood created amongst the band members. The phrase often uttered is “No Reverse\,” which means they are seeking always to add to their performances and to the audience’s experience with an improvisational intensity. At the band’s core\, though\, is a deep and personal honesty of John Spignesi’s lyrics\, which range from all out party vibes to the real self doubts we all encounter every day. \n\n\n\n\n\nIn case of inclement weather\, please check our site. All updates will be shown there. \n\n\n\nWe pass a hat!\nThese events are free; we pass a hat to enable us to continue the tradition. \nCash bar.

SUMMARY:Thursdays on the Dock: Java Groove
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays on the Dock\nJava Groove\nThursday\, July 13\, 2023\n5:30 – 7:30 pm \nThursdays on the Dock has been a shoreline staple for 14 years and is still the destination for waterfront music. Each Thursday evening in July and August from 5:30-7:30\, bring a chair or blanket\, listen to a free concert\, and watch the sun go down over the river. \nOur presenting sponsor Prive Swiss Wellness is always on hand offering free massages and giveaways. \n\n\nFrom swing to Sinatra to Sting\, Java Groove is a small 4 piece band with a big sound. It all started in 2015 by the founding members of the swing band\, The Shiny Lapel Trio. When people ask what kind of music you play\, we tell them\, jazzy\, swingy\, ballady\, kinda stuff. The idea behind Java Groove is to have a stripped down swing band with the same effect and vibe of a horn section. \nThe band consists of Dan Bernier on vocals and guitar\, James Alio on guitar\, Marc Iacobellis on bass guitar and Todd Fitting on drums. Todd\, James and Marc all went to middle school and high school together in Guilford\, playing in various bands together. Dan was one of the founding members of The Zingerz\, also playing swing music on the shoreline area. \n\n\n\n\n\nIn case of inclement weather\, please check our site.

Enjoy an evening of Sea Shanties. 🎼 Hear talented shanty and sea-song musicians for a FREE one hour live performance. Add onto your evening to continue the fun.  Book a trip on the Onrust!  \nPURCHASE TICKETS  \n\nONRUST\nOnrust is a re-creation of the vessel Adriaen Block built in 1614.  She is available for public cruises as well as private charters.  Built over several years in upstate New York using traditional plans and means\, the Onrust is a wholly unique ship that serves to educate and entertain visitors curious about the age of exploration\, the fur trade\, and our early colonial history. \nThe Johnson Girls \nJohnson Girls have been a force on the folk and maritime music scene for over two decades as the leading all-woman\, a cappella maritime group in the world. Believing that sea chanteys and songs of the sea were the first real “World Music”\, Joy Bennett\, Alison Kelley\, Bonnie Milner\, and Deirdre Murtha each bring a special influence to the group. Whether performing at packed international folk festivals\, intimate venues\, workshops\, or presenting school or library programs\, The Johnson Girls remain true to their mission of keeping chantey singing and its history alive\, bringing women’s voices to the fore\, and encouraging everyone to join in the revelry. Widely acclaimed for their powerhouse performances of rousing work songs\, sensitive renderings of haunting ballads and laments\, and hair-raising harmonies\, they sweep their audiences along in a tidal fervor. “The Johnson Girls\, chantey singers from America\, took the place by storm…  Those who thought a chantey singer had to be male\, bearded\, and with a beer gut\, needed to think again.”  – Cornwall Guardian (UK) \nSea music may well have been the first “world music.”  Ships were often melting pots\, with crew-members from many countries\, and who were heavily influenced by the music they heard while traveling around the world and from other crew members.  These sailors incorporated into their work songs and other shipboard music the different rhythms and styles from their own often diverse cultures as well as those they encountered during their voyages.  Each of The Johnson Girls was captivated by this music at different times in their lives\, and came together in 1997 following the Mystic Seaport Sea Music festival to burst through the barrier of this previously male dominated genre. \nEach of The Johnson Girls brings a specialty and style to the ensemble.  Their extensive repertoire includes songs with an Afro-Caribbean influence\, of the inland waterways\, of fishing\, mining\, Irish\, Anglo-American\, Italian\, French\, and Canadian ballads and work songs\, and much more.  The Johnson Girls bring a unique interpretation to their repertoire while preserving the traditional roots of their music. \nIn addition to powerful main stage performances\, The Johnson Girls have led participatory workshops and demonstrations during festivals and folk weeks/weekends on many topics including but by no means limited to:  women and the sea\, contemporary sea songs\, harmony\, sea chanteys 101\, work songs: old and new\, fishing: then and now\, Afro-Caribbean songs\, ballads\, song collecting\, landsmen\, sailors and ladies\, and more. \nThe Johnson Girls have 4 CDs including the most recent “On Deck & Below”\, “The Johnson Girls”\, “On the Rocks”\, and “Fire Down Below” have received rave reviews in the US and UK in Dirty Linen\, Sing Out\, Traditional Music Maker and Living Tradition magazines\, The Cornwall Guardian\, International Chantey Magazine\, and the Folk Music Society of NY newsletter. \n  \n\n \n  \nBand image: Courtesy of The Johnson Girls\nOnrust Deck: J Raunikar – CT River Museum

SUMMARY:Selden Island Hike
DESCRIPTION:The Connecticut River Museum and Connecticut Audubon EcoTravel have teamed up to offer this unique experience. We will be departing on the vessel RiverQuest at 8:00am to go to Selden Neck State Park. There will be 3 guided hikes of your choosing. Pack a lunch in your day pack to enjoy on the island. We will return to the Museum around 2:30. \nSELDEN PLANT HIKE:\nLearn about Nature Journaling.  Selden Neck State Park\, bordered to the east by Selden Creek and by the Connecticut River to the west\, is a 607-acre island roughly a half-mile wide and one-and-a-half miles long. The island is completely blanketed with lush woodland vegetation\, except for the tidal marshes. Join a CRM educator to hike and explore the plant life that inhabits the island. \nBIRDING SELDEN ISLAND\nExplore the trails of Selden Island in search of breeding birds tending their nests. This large\, but little explored island is home to breeding warblers\, vireos\, thrushes\, and more. From the wooded hills\, look out into the tidal marshes and listen for rails\, Marsh Wren\, Swamp Sparrow\, and other secretive birds. If we’re lucky\, we may get some glimpses of Bald Eagles that breed in the area. \nSELDEN ISLAND HIKE\nHike to the top of the lookout\, exploring the historical sites of the island with views of the Connecticut River and Selden Creek. Look for ruins of the old farm buildings after exploring the abandoned quarry. In the late 1800s\, stone from the quarry was used as pavers across New York City. \nPhysical fitness is required\, as trail conditions may be variable and in some places could be steep. Sturdy footwear and a water bottle are a must. \n$75 Members \n$85 Non-Members \nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Water/Ways
DESCRIPTION:Water/Ways\nA Museum on Main Street (MoMS) exhibition developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service\nJune 3 – August 14\, 2023 \nWater/Ways dives into water—an essential component of life on our planet\, environmentally\, culturally\, and historically. In societies across the globe\, water serves as a source of peace and contemplation. Many faiths revere water as a sacred symbol. Authors and artists are inspired by the complex character of water—a substance that is seemingly soft and graceful\, and yet a powerful and nearly unstoppable force. \nWater also plays a practical role in American society. The availability of water affected settlement and migration patterns. Access to water and control of water resources have long been a central part of political and economic planning. Human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways of protecting water resources and renewing respect for the natural environment. \nAmericans are connected to water in ways they may not always realize. And\, since water is a shared resource\, water connects everyone. With compelling text\, imagery\, interactives\, and videos\, Water/Ways reveals the central nature of water in our lives by exploring a number of important questions: \n\nHow do Americans use water? How is water represented in our society? In what ways do we use water as a symbol?\nHow does water unite communities? How does conflict over water emerge and how do communities resolve it?\nHow does water affect the way we live\, work\, worship\, create and play?\nHow do we care for water and sustain it for the future?\n\n  \nLocally sponsored by Connecticut Water.

SUMMARY:CRM Concerts Underway: Geoff Kaufman
DESCRIPTION:River Cruising with Geoff Kaufman\nLive Music on the River\nThursday\, May 25 | 6:00—8:00 pm \nRESERVE YOUR SPACE \nDon’t miss this two-hour cruise on RiverQuest with live music. \n\n\n\nGeoff Kaufman leads audiences to find truth\, humor\, and beauty in folk music. Whether singing sailor songs with his quartet\, Forebitter; or environmental songs on board the Sloop Clearwater in the Hudson River; or in solo performances at coffeehouses throughout the Northeast United States and festivals in Europe\, Geoff has entertained and touched audiences near and far. \nSongs of the sea\, songs of the earth\, songs of the heart and the spirit—all of these are in Geoff Kaufman’s ditty bag. Ancient ballads\, work songs\, and songs of love; poignant songs of people in struggle\, humorous glimpses of human foibles\, and insights into history—all of these are likely to be woven into one of Geoff’s concerts. \nAbove all\, at the core of Geoff’s performance is his rich tenor voice and an exuberant love of singing. And part of that love is to entice audiences to sing along\, to share in the exhilaration of full-throated vocalization if they wish. In this age of electronic overload and passive media pabulum\, Geoff likes to stress the “live” in live performance\, promoting participation\, be it by voice or heart or mind. \n\n\n\nPhoto: Geoff Kaufman\, by: David Zeleznik Photography

SUMMARY:CRM Talks - Remarkable Women of Old Lyme
DESCRIPTION:CRM Talks – Remarkable Women of Old Lyme\nLive From the Boathouse\nWednesday\, May 17\, 2023\n6:00 – 7:00 pm\nMembers FREE\nNon-Members $5.00 \nRESERVE NOW \nMichaelle Pearson and Jim Lampos present Remarkable Women of Old Lyme \nSituated on the Connecticut coast\, about halfway between New York and Boston\, the Town of Old Lyme has a rich history that is ever present in its landscape and people. Many of its most notable historic figures have been women\, who played a central role in shaping the town’s character and development. The women of Old Lyme have been pioneers in politics\, business\, education\, and the arts. Old Lyme’s illustrious history owes much to these innovative women. \nSuffragist Katharine Ludington was a co-founder of the League of Women Voters. In the 1830s\, Phoebe Griffin Noyes started a school for art and general subjects at her home. At the turn of the twentieth century\, Florence Griswold welcomed the artists of the Lyme Art Colony by creating the “Birthplace of American Impressionism.” By World War II\, Teddy Kenyon had made her mark as a test pilot. Old Lyme’s artistic tradition was continued by Elisabeth Gordon Chandler\, who founded the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in 1976; and artist and curator of the Nut Museum\, Elizabeth Tashjian. \nAuthors Michaelle Pearson and Jim Lampos honor the women whose triumphs made Old Lyme the popular summer resort and artists’ colony it is today. \nImage Courtesy of Michaelle Pearson \nCRM Talks 2023:\nFebruary 23\, 2023: Elizabeth Normen\, Venture Smith\nMarch 21\, 2023: Steve Taylor\, Connecticut Valley Agriculture: A Continuum of Change\nApril 18\, 2023: Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes\, Maritime History: Indigenous & African American\nMay 17\, 2023: Michaelle Pearson and Jim Lampos: Remarkable Women of Old Lyme \nThe Connecticut River Museum may record this webinar\, including all questions\, comments\, etc. by the audience.

Ticket holders enjoy the river and its wildlife from the water\, as well as the museum and special Exhibits. \nExperience the beauty and solitude of the lower Connecticut River during this wonderful time of year. With fewer vessels on the water\, and the trees and wildlife starting to show their spring colors\, it is different than any other time of the year. \nPass by bald eagle nesting territories\, where there should be eagles nearby. Most of the osprey have returned from their wintering grounds and will either be nesting or very busy with their “nestorations”! Nests are in trees along the river and on the navigation day markers. We tell you about the local wildlife and some interesting details that we see along the way! \nNaturalists on board narrate and make sure you don’t miss a thing! We depart from the Steamboat dock at the Connecticut River Museum in Essex. \nCancellation Notes:\nCustomers receive a full refund or credit with cancellation notice at least 48 hours before departure time. Cancellations must be done by email (crm@ctrivermuseum.org) or by phone 860-767-8269.

SUMMARY:CRM Talks - Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes
DESCRIPTION:CRM Talks – Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes\nLive From the Boathouse\nTuesday\, April  18\, 2023\n6:00 – 7:00 pm\nMembers FREE\nNon-Members $5.00 \nRESERVE YOUR SEAT  \nDr. Akeia de Barros Gomes presents:\nEbb and Flow: Redefining “Maritime History” through Black and Indigenous Voices \nHow would we define maritime histories if those histories were told through Black and Indigenous lenses?  Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes will present an ongoing collaborative project with New England’s Black and Indigenous communities which seeks to answer the question\, “How would New England’s maritime history be told if it had always been told through Black and Indigenous voices?” \nMaritime museums can\, through exhibitions\, publications and programming\, make a strong argument that the complex narratives of the modern world ARE rooted in maritime histories.  We cannot understand the development of the modern world system without understanding how waterways have shaped human interactions and human relationships. While we often hear maritime museums are THE place to tell multiracial stories and that it’s natural to tell stories of integration and freedom through maritime museums because of the inclusive nature of 19th century maritime industries\, we can’t start there. We cannot just dive into telling the stories of mariners of color or Indigenous whalers without a thorough study of their maritime histories before “America.” \nWe have a responsibility to rethink historical narratives and foreground marginalized voices. In the Dawnland (New England)\, these complex narratives involve the relationship of the sea to colonialism\, dispossession and racialized slavery\, but maritime cultures also functioned to maintain in cultural continuity\, perseverance\, resistance and agency within Black and Indigenous communities up to the present. \nDr. Akeia de Barros Gomes is the Senior Curator of Maritime Social Histories at Mystic Seaport Museum\, she is the Director of the Frank C. Munson Institute of American Maritime Studies\, and is a Visiting Scholar at Brown University’s Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice. Akeia is responsible for working on curatorial projects of race\, Indigenous histories\, ethnicity and diversity in New England’s Maritime activities.  She is lead curator for the 2024 Mystic Seaport exhibition\, Entwined: The Sea\, Sovereignty and Freedom\, a multi-year Mellon Foundation-funded project that reimagines the history of the founding and development of New England through Indigenous\, African\, and African American maritime narratives. Dr. de Barros Gomes has engaged in archaeological fieldwork on the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Reservation in Mashantucket\, CT; in the US Virgin Islands and in Newport\, RI.  She has engaged in Anthropological fieldwork in the US Virgin Islands\, in Benin\, and in New Orleans. Akeia was professor of American Studies and Professor of Psychology and Human Development at Wheelock College from 2008 to 2017. She was Curator of Social History at the New Bedford Whaling Museum from 2017 to 2021 before taking her position at Mystic Seaport Museum. \nImage Courtesy of Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes \nCRM Talks 2023:\nFebruary 23\, 2023: Elizabeth Normen\, Venture Smith\nMarch 21\, 2023: Steve Taylor\, Connecticut Valley Agriculture: A Continuum of Change\nApril 18\, 2023: Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes\, Maritime History: Indigenous & African American\nMay 17\, 2023: Michaelle Pearson and Jim Lampos: Remarkable Women of Old Lyme \n  \nThe Connecticut River Museum may record this webinar\, including all questions\, comments\, etc. by the audience.

SUMMARY:Watercraft at Work
DESCRIPTION:Watercraft at Work\nMarch 23 – May 14\, 2023 \nWatercraft at Work showcases over 25 works of art from the Museum’s collections that depict vessels at work on the Connecticut River. \nFrom River-built schooners and sloops that carried stone and coal to ferries that carried people from one side of the River to the other – the exhibit will use paintings\, prints\, and photographs of working boats to highlight the importance of the River as a hub for commerce and transportation. \nWhen the Connecticut River was truly the Valley’s water highway\, a variety of watercraft moved raw materials\, manufactured goods\, and regional travelers to landings along the River and Long Island Sound and to large ports along the Atlantic Rim. Transportation by water reduced the friction of distance and was therefore efficient and economical. \n \nTop Image: Sachem Towing Barges.
