7/23: Tj Wheeler Concert & Instrument Workshop - 2pm & 3pm

We've got a great family concert planned this summer! Grab the beach chairs and blankets and take a seat outside to enjoy the talented and entertaining American Roots musician, Tj Wheeler. The Friends of the Library will be selling snacks and refreshments, as well as holding a book sale. It will be a great way to spend a summer afternoon, for all ages! The concert begins at 3pm., preceded by a jugband instrument workshop for kids at 2pm.

Tj Wheeler performs his gumbo of Blues, Jazz, Ragtime and more on a wide variety of instruments, including the 7 string guitar, Ukulele, Tenor Banjo, 1 string Diddley Bow, Tap percussion, nitty gritty vocals & Kazoo! Audiences of all ages around the world have been enlightened by Tj’s knowledge of the history & stories behind the music as well as his talented and passionate performances. During a workshop prior to the concert, Tj will bring a variety of jug band and percussion instruments so kids will be able to play on traditional instruments such as the washboard, washtub bass, cigar box guitar, and a wide range of shakers and tambourines. Afterward, kids are invited to be featured on a couple of songs during the concert!

*Funding for the Kids, Books and the Arts event is provided by the Jack and Dorothy Byrne Foundation, CHILIS, Cogswell Benevolent Trust, and is supported in part by a grant from the NH State Council on the Arts & the National Endowment for the Arts as well as funds administered by the NH State Library and provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
