SUMMARY:POSTPONED UNTIL 2021 DATE TBD - Authors & Artists Series: Walt Woodward
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED UNTIL 2021 DATE TBD \nAuthors & Artists Series: Walt Woodward & The Band of Steady Habits Present A New Album & A New Book\nTuesday\, September 15\, 2020\n6:00 pm \n$5.00 Non-Members \nMembers Free\nMembers Click Here to Register \nAlbum Premiere\nGreat River\nThe album premiere celebrates the release of Walt Woodward and The Band of Steady Habits’  (Rachel Smith\, Teagan Smith\, Jeremy Teitelbaum\, Duke York\, and Walt) debut mini-album\, Great River\, which includes representative songs from Walt Woodward and the band of steady habits musical history lectures. One of the songs\, “Great River” is former hit country music songwriter Walt Woodward’s own composition about the Connecticut River – “Great River”. The songs will be integrated into a selection of short readings from state historian Woodward’s brand new book Creating Connecticut: Critical Moments That Shaped a Great State.   \nBook Launch\nCreating Connecticut\nConnecticut State Historian Walter Woodward helps us understand how people and events in Connecticut’s past played crucial roles in forming the culture and character of Connecticut today. Woodward\, a gifted story-teller\, brings the history we thought we knew to life in new ways\, from the nearly forgotten early presence of the Dutch\, to the time when Connecticut was New England’s fiercest prosecutor of witches\, the decades when Nutmeggers were rapidly leaving the state\, and the years when Irish immigrants were hurrying into it. Whether it’s his investigation into the unusually rough justice meted out to Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale\, or a peek into Mark Twain’s smoking habits\, Creating Connecticut will leave you thinking about our state’s past––and its future––in a whole new way. \nWalt Woodward is the State Historian of Connecticut and an Associate Professor of History at the University of Connecticut. He is the narrator and producer/editor of Today in Connecticut History (with CT Humanities) and Grating the Nutmeg: The Podcast of Connecticut History (with Connecticut Explored magazine). He also writes the “From the State Historian” column in Connecticut Explored magazine. A widely sought after public speaker and historian\, he lives in Columbia\, CT. \nPrior to becoming a historian\, Walt Woodward was a songwriter and advertising music music producer in Nashville and Cleveland\, where he wrote two hit country songs\, won two Emmy’s for television and film music\, and eight Clio’s – advertising’s highest award – for his musical productions. \nPURCHASE TICKETS

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. \nPURCHASE TICKETS  \n\n \n  \nPhotos:\nThe Johnson Girls\, by: thejohnsongirls.com\nOnrust Deck\, by: J Raunikar – CT River Museum

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! Thursdays on the Dock - John Spignesi Band
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays on the Dock\nJohn Spignesi Band\nThursday\, August 13\, 2020\n5:30 – 7:30 pm \nWE ARE AT CAPACITY FOR THIS SHOW. \nIn order to maintain best social distance practices\, we need to limit the number attending our Thursday On The Dock performances. The number allowed on the lawn is dictated by CT State regulations. Thank you for your understanding during these uncommon times. \nNow in its 11th year\, Thursday’s on the Dock continues to rock the River! Each Thursday night in the summer\, the foot of Main Street in Essex is the place to be from 5:30 –7:30 pm. We have a fabulous lineup this year thanks to our presenting sponsor\, Prive Swiss Wellness. \nNew Haven based quartet “JSB” (shortened for The John Spignesi Band) is a group you don’t want to sleep on. Led by guitarist/frontman\, John “Spigs” Spignesi\, this band has been steadily making a name for themselves in the East Coast jam scene since their formation in January 2015. \n“What’s on the setlist tonight?” many fans tend to ask. The answer is you\, the audience\, and the vibe at the venue. Together we can guide the journey and the energy of the show. It’s about that shared experience. JSB has never used setlists\, often sculpting shows on the fly\, with rockers\, ballads\, & sing-a-longs. A truly diverse musical ensemble who doesn’t believe limiting themselves to genres\, JSB performs a wide variety of original tunes while adding in covers that they truly make their own. \nJSB has shared the stage with national-touring acts such as Max Creek\, Zach Deputy\, Kung Fu\, The Funky Dawgz Brass Band\, and more. On the road and on the stage\, the band’s motto has become “No Reverse” inspiring them to always be hungry for more. \nFrom July 16 through September 10\, guests can listen to music\, get a FREE massage\, taste a new beverage\, and take in our gorgeous waterfront views. These events are free\, although we do pass a hat to enable us to continue the tradition. \nBeer and wine are available for purchase.

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. \nPURCHASE TICKETS  \n\n \n  \nPhotos:\nGeoff Kaufman\, by: geoffkaufman.com\nOnrust Deck\, by: J Raunikar – CT River Museum
