VIRTUAL EVENT: THE HISTORY OF WILLIE NELSON
Becket, 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.

Willie Nelson is the face, the heart and the soul of country music, and he’s still going strong. He released his 74th album in 2023 and turns 91 this year! Using interview and performance clips, we’ll trace the arc of Willie’s career from his humble beginnings in small town Texas to his struggles in Nashville to his shift to Outlaw Country and to his now legendary status. We’ll cover all the big hits including “Crazy,” “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain,” “On The Road Again,” and “Always On My Mind.”

Led by Gary Wenstrup, who has taught courses on the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel and Motown Records for the Continuing Education Departments of College of DuPage and Oakton (IL) Community College. Wenstrup has lectured at over 80 public libraries. Besides being featured on radio broadcasts and in newspaper articles, he is also a reoccurring guest on the widely respected podcast “Something About The Beatles.”

RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. Presented in partnership with Tewksbury Public Library Friends of the Library and other libraries from across MA and NH.

KAT WRIGHT
Dalton, 7:30 p.m.

Kat Wright, whose voice is both sultry and dynamic, delicate yet powerful; gritty but highly emotive and nuanced, has been described as “a young Bonnie Raitt meets Amy Winehouse”. Add to that voice enough stage presence to tame lions, and the combination of feline femininity proves immediately enchanting. There’s soul flowing in and out of her rock ‘n’ roll with a serpentine seduction. Some of soul music’s sweet, grand dames belt, shout, seethe, and succumb, while Wright sings gently like a heartache’s apology. It’s funky in spots and beautiful all over. And it hurts a little… like it should.

SHOW 7:30p / DOORS 6:30p
