Tickets: $30
Reservations required
"'Look Up,' their first co-write, is a magical song that follows a winding narrative through the eyes of the janitor at the Sistine Chapel, the Renaissance painter Michaelangelo, and God. Child and Erelli were so taken with this initial composition that they kept on writing together each year, and now have over a dozen co-writes, released both on each other’s solo albums and as standalone collaborative singles. Dinty Child is a founding member of the beloved regional supergroup Session Americana, has deep roots in the New London area, with a family homestead in the area and played for a stint in the beloved band Night Kitchen. Mark Erelli is as likely to be found fronting a string quintet, a bluegrass band, or a rock n’ roll trio, as he is serving as a sideman for noted artists like Lori McKenna and Josh Ritter. For the first time, multi-instrumentalists Child and Erelli will combine forces for an intimate evening of storytelling and joint renditions of their expanding shared catalog."

"His background in theater is pronounced through the lyrical storytelling of songs “God’s Gonna Make Things Over” about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, “Welcome to My World”, and “Got Your Letter In My Pocket”. His storytelling is sometimes painful, deep, and real, an earthy contrast to modern-day commercial music, meant to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo fingerpicking. "

"Born and raised in Maine, Paul attended Boston College on a track scholarship and in the evenings became a fixture on the city’s open mic circuit. After winning a Boston Acoustic Underground songwriter competition, he caught the ear of folk luminary Bill Morrissey, who produced his indie album Say Something in 1993. This led to a seven-album contract with Rounder Records and the 1994 album, Stories. His songs have appeared in several blockbuster films (Me, Myself, and Irene; Shallow Hal, Hall Pass) and have been covered by award winning country artists (Sugarland, Kristian Bush, Jack Ingram). Through a steady succession of albums of his own – a remarkable 23 releases so far – and a constant touring presence around the world, Paul’s audience has grown into a loyal legion of fans."
