Kimball Library News 7/2/23

Summer reading events are full throttle ahead and concerts abound! The first three events below are primarily musical which most all ages can enjoy!

ALL TOGETHER WITH MR. AARON: Come one and all to jam with for some fun songs and great music on Monday, July 17th in the Library Courtyard! Mr. Aaron is here to entertain the young and young at heart!

Mr. Aaron is a multi-instrumentalist performer and composer making music and videos for kids and their grown-ups, ages 0-10. He's a proud father of three amazing girls, and a longtime professional musician with a career playing in bands, musical theatre and more.

This is an "All Together Now" Summer Reading event, sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Invite your friends and family to register and join us.

ALL TOGETHER WITH KEITH MUNSLOW: Join us for some wonderful songs and music with cartoonist and entertainer, Keith Munslow. Keith is known for being a musician, storyteller, cartoonist, and stand-up comedian for kids and the young at heart. He will bring the house down with silly favorites like ‘Coffee Breath’ and can keep even the littlest ones captive as he sketches. He will be in the Library Courtyard on July 19th at 6 PM ready to tickle the ivories and funnybones of young and old alike.

Growing up as the youngest amid a boisterous family of five children, Keith spent most of his waking minutes lost in a world of his own creation. Because there was a piano in the house, and his older siblings had blazed the trail, he began playing at a young age. It wasn’t until an older brother came home from studying jazz improvisation at the Berklee College of Music that Keith learned some of the basics of music theory and he began tapping out songs on the keyboard. Influenced by the songwriting of Randy Newman and artists like Bootsy Collins, Little Richard and Professor Longhair, that the spark of music caught fire .With an unstinting commitment to creativity and collaboration, Keith continues to search for new opportunities to combine his interests in the performing arts, literacy and community building.

This is an "All Together Now" Summer Reading event, sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Please register so we can provide you with weather related changes in venue or schedule. If all goes as planned, we will be outside in the Courtyard, so bring your blankets, camp chairs, and even picnic dinner to enjoy.

SUMMER CONCERT SERIES WITH JORDAN TW: Putting a fresh spin on traditional Celtic music, the Jordan TW Trio delivers a dynamic show full of lively fiddle tunes, haunting airs and classic sing-alongs. Fiddler/singer Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki is joined by fellow New Hampshire natives Matt Jensen on guitar and Chris Noyes on upright bass. Their shows blend the music of Ireland and Scotland with their own original material, drawing on multiple genres to produce a unique sound that has been described as “larger-than-life” and “brisk, lean and exceedingly lovely.” In 2013 Jordan was awarded the title of “Master Artist” by the NH State Council On The Arts, and later named “Best Fiddler 2016” by NH Magazine. He composed the New England Emmy®-nominated theme music for WMUR’s New Hampshire Chronicle, and the Trio formed the core band that recorded it. They have appeared live on NHPR’s “The Folk Show,” provided music for projects ranging from Ted Talks to children’s programs, and their albums can be heard on radio stations around the British Isles as well as here in New England.
