A Summer Potpourri & Summerstage

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

Here’s a little of this and a little of that for a lazy, humid summer’s night — string and contra band music, a whole basket of traditional balladry, including marvelous new albums from Deb Cowan and John Roberts and solo efforts from Canada’s Matthew Byrne and Olivia Chaney from England. This is also the time for outdoor presentations of Shakespeare. Skip the mosquitoes and humidity and catch a few plays (and many characters) right here on our own Summerstage.
