September 15, 2017(2 events) Geoff Muldaur ConcertGeoff Muldaur ConcertSeptember 15, 2017 7:30 pm - Center at PomfretCenter at Pomfret 218 Day Road Pomfret Center, CT 06259 Geoff Muldaur is one of the great voices and musical forces to emerge from the folk, blues and folk-rock scenes centered in Cambridge, MA and Woodstock, NY. During the 1960’s and ’70’s, Geoff made a series of highly influential recordings as a founding member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band and the Paul Butterfield’s Better Days group, as well as collaborations with then-wife Maria and other notables (Bonnie Raitt, Eric Von Schmidt, Jerry Garcia, etc). He left the stage and recording world in the mid-1980’s for a working sabbatical but continued, however, to hone his craft, albeit ‘flying beneath radar’. He composed scores for film and television, and produced off-beat albums. With his magical voice and singular approach to American music in tact, Geoff is once again touring the world. We are fortunate indeed to have him in Pomfret! Limited Seating, call 860-928-4948 to reserve your place. $25 in advance; $30 at the door https://maps.google.com/maps?z=16&daddr=218+Day+Road++Pomfret+Center+CT+06259+More information about Geoff Muldaur Concert Stories and StargazingStories and StargazingSeptember 15, 2017 8:00 pm - 9:30 pmJoin Paul Spitzer for this free program at White Sands Beach in Old Lyme.
