With winter days continuing to shorten, and the warm days of spring still just a dream, there are a few things to look forward to. Anyone who enjoys live music and sharing time with others in a comfortable and family-friendly venue with homemade munchies will love the series presented by South Congregational Church.
On Saturday, March 19, Roosevelt Dime rocks the house with their Empire State style. From Brooklyn to Granby, Roosevelt Dime’s blend of classic R & B with acoustic Americana instrumentation, a boogie woogie banjo, swinging blues guitar and soulful vocals will warm the night. The New York Times has called this band “a perpetual crowd pleaser” so mark it now on your calendar. Visit www.rooseveltdimemusic.com.
