Enjoy our first summer afternoon of music with the Al Derben Trio on Wednesday, July 13 at 2:00pm.  This local trio will help us swing in to our Summer Reading Program for Adults: Novel Destinations.  Our theme promotes reading items with an exotic locale this summer, and expresses the joy of armchair travel via your public library.  You can read any genre you enjoy, though, and simply enter a short review of the book into our drawing for an array of prizes from local merchants.

The Al Derben Trio, featuring Woody Allen on guitar, Doug Bennett on guitar and vocals, and Bruce Derr on pedal steel guitar, plays a mix of swing era standards and songs from the Great American Songbook. The unusual combination of instruments brings a unique musical flavor to this talented group. The show opens with “Nice and Naughty” whose original music speaks to all aspects of everyday life, from whimsical to poignant…serious to silly. Accompanied by stand-up bass, guitar and pennywhistle their exquisite harmonies are the highlight of their performances. Sometimes irreverent but never rude…they’re always fun!

Don’t miss a chance to stock up on summer reading, viewing, and information, and enjoy some cool jazz at the same time.  Join us for the first of our summer music afternoons on Wednesday July 13th at 2:00 pm here at the Library.  And after the performance, stop in at the Farmer’s Market across the street for some tasty local produce, baked goods, seafood, and more!
