Summer Concert on the Lawn (August): Hatrack Gallagher and Ric Mauré
On August 12 from 6:30-7:30 P.M. harmonica player and vocalist Hatrack Gallagher teams up with pianist Ric Mauré to lay down some blues, R&B, & jazz music. Bring a blanket, a snack, and your music appreciation for a concert on the lawn of the Gleason Public Library, Carlisle. Tunes by Little Walter, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Sonny Boy Williamson are all part of the eclectic mix. Get a taste of both the chromatic & blues harp and explore the blues side of jazz and the jazz side of the blues. They will mix it up with blues from New Orleans to Chicago and jazz from Kansas City to New York, and then throw in a little Latin number. Standards from Gershwin and Arlen and R&B from Ray Charles and Wynonie Harris are all part of the repertoire.
WOW: Writers Only Writing
The Gleason Public Library's monthly writing group meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 10:30 AM in the Hollis Room. If you are writing fiction or non-fiction and would like to suggest ideas, critiques, and generally share the process, join this energetic group. This writers group is for would be authors/writers and published authors who would like to talk about writing and the publication process. There will be no homework or tests. Come and join us for "how to get started" and "keep going" with what you might like to say for family or the greater public. We plan to have occasional guest authors lend us thoughts and expertise.
