Vintage Music from the 1920's to th 1940's on Saturday, September 25 @ 2 pm

On Saturday, September 25 @ 2pm, we kick-off our fall “Musical Saturdays @ the library” with a Vintage Music Concert. Vintage guitarist Ken Lelen will sing ragtime, jazz and swing tunes from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, and will pair each song with a guitar from the same era. Each guitar makes music that is striking for its tone, character and sustain without the use of pick-ups or electronic gimmicks.  Filled with memorable melodies, clever lyrics and amusing anecdotes, his concerts are popular with diverse groups.  Mr. Lelen will be joined by bassist Matt Koch who will provide the rhythmic heart to the performance. Given their mutual affinity for the amiable tunes and beguiling sentiments of the Great American Songbook, concerts by the Ken Lelen Combo are noted for their upbeat, acoustic renditions of ragtime, jazz and swing classics.
This performance is free to the public, but advance registration will be strictly enforced in order to attend this concert.  This presentation is geared toward adults only, no children under the age of 12 please!  Please register online by clicking on  click here.
