Music at the Fletch: Honky Tonk Moon

Music at the Fletch presents a free concert, Honky Tonk Moon, August 16th at 6PM. The group plays an eclectic mix of folk, blues, rock and more, aiming for a friendly “front-porch” feel.

The eastern Connecticut group features Peter Magrane on guitar and ukulele, Sherrill Owen Farkas on fiddle, Carl Garbe with bass, banjo, and mandolin, and Donna Tommelleo playing percussion. The group came together earlier this year through mutual friends and open mics, and each member contributes a different aspect to their music. The daughter of professional musicians, fiddler Farkas brings a deep musical background to the quartet. Magrane, a songwriter, likes to tell a good story musically. He teaches ukelele and has been playing in bands since his teen years. Garbe is master of several string instruments and is active in some Connecticut shoreline bands. Tommelleo, a relative latecomer to the music scene, took up drums in 2015. She says that she has been having a blast ever since.

Fans should bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating. In case of rain or excessive heat, the concert will be rescheduled for August 19th at 10:30AM.
