RED-HOT MUSICIANS CHASE THE WINTER BLUES AWAY AT CALVERT LIBRARY 

 

Winter Interludes keeps the music coming at Calvert Library!  Nashville performer and song-writer Courtlyn Carr kicked off the library’s new music series to a big audience with her versatile voice and crowd-pleasing tunes.  Music lover Jerry McGaughran said, “It was cool to see someone who started her musical career as a Calvert County Public School student emerge as national talent!” To continue the great tunes throughout the winter doldrums, your local library has lined up a host of other great musicians to round out the new Winter Interludes series.  All events are free to the public and begin at 7 pm at Calvert Library Prince Frederick and the dates are as follows:

 

February 16: United States Naval Academy Electric Brigade

February 29: ellen cherry

March 15: Kevin Sullivan

March 29: 2-4-U Band

 

The Electric Brigade is the Navy’s premier popular music ensemble and the U.S. Naval Academy’s musical ambassadors to the nation. Made of up enlisted sailors, the band provides entertainment for formal occasions, pep rallies and everything in between. Since forming in 1979, Electric Brigade has performed all over the world.  Expect all ages to be tapping their feet while the group shows off their repertoire of modern pop, classic rock, country, disco, swing, hip-hop, soul and more.  Librarian Robyn Truslow points out that “Electric Brigade has been known to draw a large audience. We may have to run a video feed to our lobby like we do for Calvert’s Next Idol so people can sit out there to enjoy the show!”  Make sure you get a seat to see Electric Brigade at Calvert Library Prince Frederick on Thursday, February 16, 2012.

 

Soulful singer/songwriter ellen cherry classifies her music as, “spunky downer pop…for smartypants.” The Baltimore artist is a hard working full-timer who has licensed her music to the Oxygen Network, MTV and Soap.net. In 2009 she wrote, recorded and performed a TV campaign for the FOX Networks and even composed the score for a shadow puppet piece entitled “Alonzo’s Lullaby” that won the prestigious UNIMA Citation of Excellence. She was awarded Maryland State Arts Council’s Individual Artist Award for Vocal Performance (2007) and Music Composition (2009). See ellen at Calvert Library Prince Frederick on February 29, 2012.

 

Kevin Sullivan is a singer/songwriter/guitarist hailing from the tobacco fields of Southern Maryland. With simple, melodic guitar parts he uses his alluring voice to tell you stories of life, love and the world around us.  Kevin couldn’t play a lick when he first began attending Saint Nicholas Lutheran Church in 2000, but he could sing. By 2002 he was a fixture with the church’s sing and rejoice choir, becoming a staple singer and guitarist for their contemporary service. His new album, “Propeller EP,” just debuted a few weeks ago.  See Kevin Sullivan at Calvert Library Prince Frederick on March 15, 2012. 

 

The 2-4-U Band is an energetic husband and wife team performing oldies, rock-n-roll, swing, and classic country hits. The 2-4-U Band hails from Calvert County and has been performing for the past 20 years.  Bring your dancing shoes because we are clearing space and expecting a Macarena and more!  See the 2-4-U Band at Calvert Library Prince Frederick on Thursday, March 29, 2012.
