The Harrisons will kick off the series on Aug. 19. A powerhouse husband-and-wife duo, The Harrisons perform nearly every genre of music on a wide variety of instruments — sometimes even more than one at a time!

John Sheehan will take the stage on Aug. 26. A singer-songwriter, his songs “show simple humor, yet say something profound about humanity, according to a reviewer. Sheehan is a long-time local favorite who will be showcasing his fine finger-style playing for this performance.
