This summer’s lawn concert at The Fletch will be on Wednesday, July 14, (rain date: July 21). The free concert begins at 6:30PM on the lawn of Fletcher Memorial Library. This year’s featured group is Still Pickin’, a bluegrass trio that plays bluegrass, and selected contemporary and original music, plus some old fashioned country tunes. The group aims to “provide your favorite style of music that is no longer readily available on radio” and their program includes humorous stories and audience participation.

This talented trio consists of lead singer Dennis Sheridan, who plays guitar, mandolin and fiddle, Patricia MacDonald on bass, and Jim Shapely, banjo and dobro player. All three share in the vocals and all have long been a part of the Connecticut music scene. They have performed throughout New England and are looking forward to appearing this year at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival. This year’s concert is once again made possible by a gift from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous.

Although the library building will be closed during the performance, the audience is invited to picnic on the grounds before the show, and sanitary facilities will be in place, also made possible by our sponsor.
