Monday, June 24, 6:30 PM
Strictly Sentimental Swing Band
This summer we’re welcoming back Strictly Sentimental, a 19-piece band that plays swing music from the 1930s to the present, featuring vocalist Carroll Venable. A lively journey through almost a century of classic songs, this performance will delight people of all ages. This event is sponsored in part by a grant from the Seekonk Cultural Council, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. The concert will take place in the library’s meeting room in the case of inclement weather.

Tuesday, July 23, 6:30 PM
Bill Harley
Local favorite, Bill Harley, needs no introduction. A two-time Grammy award winner, Bill entertains us all with vibrant, outrageous, and genuine songs and stories about growing up and what it is to be human. Entertainment Weekly calls him "the Mark Twain of contemporary children's music" but it's hard to say who enjoys his performance more, the kids or the adults! This event is generously sponsored by Sturdy Health. The concert will take place in the library’s meeting room in the case of inclement weather.

Tuesday, August 13, 6:30 PM
The Whelks
The Whelks are an acoustic trio hailing from Warren and Tiverton, RI, consisting of Peri DeLorenzo on fiddle, Mark Dobbyn on guitar, and Erin Lobb Mason on upright bass. They play a mix of swing, country, old time, bluegrass, Irish, folk, and their own original songs, all dressed up in glorious three-part harmony. The concert will take place in the library’s meeting room in the case of inclement weather.

Registration is required for limited indoor seating in the event that concerts are moved due to weather conditions and to be notified of updates. Please register in the Events Calendar at www.seekonkpl.org/events.
