Hand-sown flower, vegetable and garden plants in fresh clean soil for sale by Branford Garden Club members. Come enrich your gardens with new plants and support the Garden Club on Saturday, May 17th 2025. Planting activities for kids included.

​

Spring is here and we all have a touch of “May Fever”. Symptoms are a feverish desire to be outside making our gardens colorful and welcoming places for the season.

​

The Garden Club of Madison's Plant Sale, May 17, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, set against the picturesque backdrop of the historic Deacon John Graves House gardens in Madison, has the antidote to your garden dilemmas. The sale boasts an exceptional variety of perennials, all lovingly grown by GCM members. These aren't your run-of-the-mill garden center finds; the selection includes rare and unusual specimens that have been nurtured and proven to thrive.  Early birds line up for treasures like trilliums, exotic varieties of hellebores, and an array of native plants that are as hardy as they are beautiful. Not to mention the usual garden staples of iris, daisies, lilies, heuchera, hostas and so on.

​

"We love sharing our knowledge and special plants with other experienced and inexperienced gardeners," says Bette Zollshan, a dedicated member of the Garden Club who has been organizing this event for several years.

​

Whether you need a quantity of day lilies to fill a large sunny space, or some unusual ground cover to keep the weeds at bay, this is your one stop. Garden Club members, including Master Gardeners, will be on hand to advise you and share useful tips.

​

Proceeds of the sale go to maintaining the numerous civic gardens we tend in Madison, including East Wharf Seaside Garden, Deacon John Graves Perennial Gardens, DJG Wildflower Walk, Veterans’ and 9/11 Memorial Gardens, the new Education Garden and orchards at Bauer Park, and adding to the 20,000 daffodils the Club has planted throughout town.

​

Please visit our website: www.gcmct.org to read about our involvement in the community and the many ways we spread the joy of gardening and care for our environment.

​

Five gardening tips for right now:

​

1. If possible, adopt “no mow May” allowing flowers to bloom in your lawn for early season pollinators. Even leaving a strip can make a difference.

​

1. Start a compost pile but be careful not to compost weeds.

​

1. Before spring bulbs die back, mark them so you don’t disturb them when adding new plants.

​

1. Allow daffodil “greens” to die back for at least 6 weeks. They are the battery for next year’s blooms.

​

1. Divide fall blooming perennials – for more info: https://gcmct.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/GCM-Horticulture-Bulletin-June-2022.pdf

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 

​

The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

 DRAWING CONCLUSIONS  by Brian Flinn and  LIGHT  by R.F.Wilton, Two Solo Exhibitions. APRIL 17 - MAY 18, 2025

​

Brian Flinn recognizes that digital media has been a central component of his studio practice for nearly 25 years, though physical drawing is a fundamental part of his process. This exhibit brings together works spanning a variety of years, highlighting the maps of mark making that create the foundation for further explorations in both paint and digital media. Flinn explains, ”Drawing is an essential act offering me a venue from which to investigate and engage with the ideas and concepts that consistently drive my work. There are careful, slow meanderings of graphite and pastel, and large arcs of splashed or spilled ink that comprise much of these pieces. There are collage elements and scrapes that interact with the lines and areas, shaping the landscape of these drawings.” Brian Flinn is an

​

Associate Professor of Art, and the Art Education Program Coordinator at Central Connecticut State University. He earned a BFA and Masters at U of Bridgeport and his MFA at the School of Visual Arts in NYC.

​

R. F. Wilton offers us some LIGHT, a recurring theme for this photographer which also characterizes the positive attitude he affects. Large scale and high contrast, these images command attention. R. F. Wilton is a self-taught photographic artist who has been creating images for personal self-expression for over 50 years. Since the early 1970’s, he has been an enthusiastic cultivator of the arts, with experiences of co-founding communal fine art projects, working as a professional musician, teaching photography and darkroom technique at all academic levels and being a founding member of several arts boards. Mr. Wilton is now retired from a 32-year career in the enterprise business software industry.

​

May 2 - June 15, 2025

​

Located in The Workshop Gallery, Building 3.

​

Opening Reception on Friday, May 2nd from 4-7PM

​

Spring Tasting Event on Sunday, May 4th from 3-5PM

​

Artist Panel on Sunday, June 1st from 2-3PM

​

Collage Creation Worksho p at Artsplace on June 1st & 6th (details TBA)

​

Regular Gallery Hours from 12-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

​

In keeping with the historic location of Ball and Socket Arts which was a manufacturing facility, “Boardslide” is an exhibition focusing on the ability of fine artists to translate the form of a skateboard through their creativity.

​

The gap between sports and art is wide mainly due to preconceived notions. Fine artists often find themselves compelled to defend creation of utility items which are termed as craft as if it is in any way a genre of lesser importance. Likewise, sports equipment is usually not associated with fine art. In a complex world where a case can be made for all forms of creation to be connected through artistic as well as economic means, what better than the motif of a simple toy like a skateboard to form the basis of inspiration for a group of contemporary artists?

​

The materials are diverse as is the aesthetic of each participating artist.

​

Featured Artists:

​

Paul Baylock; Alan Bisbort; Tamhja Coe, Michaela Gorski; Deborah Hesse; Chelsea Marti; Mike Mindera; Sarah Nguyen; and Rashmi Talpade

​

​

In this class learn to create layers of soft pastels to build up a recognizable image or object. Blocking in values from light to dark and understanding light to hard application on paper. In the beginning of class, simple still life set ups will be used i.e. two pieces of fruit in a bowl, etc. The light source and an investigation of color ranges that can be applied to any given object will also be explored. There will be demonstrations of techniques that will help all levels. Pastels are a wonderful opportunity for those who want to continue to hone their drawing skills with the new dimension of color. Finally, fixative spraying will be reviewed including how many layers are necessary. The last two classes will focus on a more complicated still life set up in an effort to create a completed piece of artwork. Instructor will work individually with participants with more pastel experience. Material list available upon registration.

Bill Haley Jr. and the Comets

​

Bill Haley, Jr. and the Comets is a high-energy five-piece combo performing a rousing, crowd pleasing set of songs first recorded at the dawn of rock 'n' roll by his legendary father, Bill Haley and the Comets, and other popular tunes from the 1950s and '60s. Emphasizing authenticity in sound and presentation, this "Rock 'N' Roll History Show" features Bill Haley, Jr. sharing the inside stories and historical context behind the songs he sings backed by his talented band of comets — saxophonist extraordinaire Kaj Hansen; nimble-fingered Mike Denaro on electric guitar; Christopher Davis Shannon slapping the upright bass; and Rich Flamini's energetic Gene Krupa-style drumming. Bill Haley and the Comets may not have invented rock’n’roll, but they sure became its first stars and indisputably lit the fuse of the rock’n’roll. Be prepared to jump, jive, dance, clap, stomp your feet and sing along as Haley and his Comets rock the joint! Bill Haley & His Comets "Rock Around The Clock" on The Ed Sullivan Show

 FauxMenco Unleashes Genre-Bending Debut EP Speed X Volume = FauxMenco — Out May 17 at Best Video Film and Cultural Center in Hamden, CT with special guests, Space Cranes

​

HAMDEN, CT – April 15, 2025  – Blending the fire of  nuevo flamenco , the edge of  metal , and the groove of  acoustic rock ,  FauxMenco  – the nylon-string guitar duo of  Catherine Capozzi and Rafi Sofer  – is set to release their debut EP,  Speed X Volume = FauxMenco , on  May 17. The five-track collection will be available exclusively via  Bandcamp  and at  live shows.

​

Speed X Volume = FauxMenco  explores the intersection of art and survival through five cinematic, emotionally charged instrumentals. Whether inspired by environmental loss or rediscovered life, the EP is a bold statement from a duo carving their own sonic path.

​

Standout tracks include:

​

  "Toronado"  – A swirling, storm-driven response to the climate crisis

​

  "Gold Crumbs"  – A hypnotic ode to humanity’s obsession with wealth

​

  "LongBeak"  – A tribute to the long-beaked echidna, once thought extinct

​

Pulling influence from artists like  Django Reinhardt ,  Paco de Lucia ,  John Fahey , and  Rodrigo y Gabriela , FauxMenco fuses intricate melodies with raw rhythmic energy — a combination one fan perfectly described as:

​

“The legacies of Paco de Lucia and Jimi Hendrix lead to FauxMenco's take on relaxed mayhem.”

🎭  Come Experience Unbecoming Tragedy at Long Wharf Theatre

​

What does it mean to reclaim your narrative?

​

Stripped of everything but his imagination, a struggling actor transforms his prison cell into an unexpected stage. Unbecoming Tragedy: A Ritual Journey Toward Destiny is a gripping, poetic exploration of resilience, identity, and the redemptive power of storytelling. When all that remains is you—how do you rewrite your fate?

​

This groundbreaking  world premiere  is the culminating production of Long Wharf Theatre’s 60th Season and was developed through our New Works Initiative. Written and performed by New Haven artist  Terrence Riggins , the piece draws from his lived experience as an artist in prison, where imagination became survival and storytelling became a form of liberation.

​

Presented in partnership with  Collective Consciousness Theatre , Unbecoming Tragedy invites audiences into a transformative ritual—where theatre becomes a tool for reckoning, healing, and reclaiming power.

​

📍  Location:  Yale Off-Broadway Theater @   41 Broadway, New Haven, CT 06511

📅  Run Dates:  May 11 – June 1

​

Oddfellows Playhouse Teen Repertory Company presents Everybody May 15 - 24. All performances will be held at Oddfellows Playhouse, 128 Washington Street, Middletown.

​

Everybody is a fast-paced contemporary adaptation of the medieval morality play “Everyman”, in which an individual struggles facing their own death and is forced to confront the meaning of life. Written by contemporary playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (whose most recent play, Purpose, is currently on Broadway), Everybody was a finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. 

​

Everybody, which features a cast of 16 performers ages 14 -20, is directed by Hannah Simms. Scenic Design is by Dan Schmidt, Costume Design by Christian Milik, Sound Design by Joseph Getter, Lighting Design by Aaron Westcott, and Properties Design by Pam Lang.

​

Director Simms says “A morality play is an apt choice for a moment in which our national morality is being put to the test. Everybody is a wickedly funny play that explores what morality and mortality look like in our disconnected culture, and this cast of brilliant young actors are tackling it with bravery and sensitivity.”

​

Tickets are $18 for adults and $10 for kids and students. “Big Hearted Oddfellow” tickets are available for $25 for anyone who really loves and values theater and its impact on the lives of young people.

​

Thursday, May 15 at 7 pm is a “Pay-What-You-Can” Preview. Performances will be at 7 pm on May 16, 17, 23 and 24, and at 4 pm on Sunday, May 18.

​

Everybody is presented through special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC.

​

Tickets may be purchased at https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/oddfellowsplayhouse/everybody-by-branden-jacobs-jenkins

​

For more information, call (860) 347-6143, email info@oddfellows.org, or go to www.oddfellows.org.

Everybody is made possible thanks to support from the City of Middletown; American Savings Foundation; Middletown Commission on the Arts; Connecticut Office of the Arts/DECD; The Fund for Greater Hartford; State of Connecticut Judicial Branch (Youth Violence Prevention); Middletown Youth Services Bureau; Community Foundation of Middlesex County; Middlesex United Way; George and Grace Long Foundation; Liberty Bank Foundation; many generous individual donors; and you, supporting youth arts in Connecticut by purchasing a ticket for this performance.

RAMONA

​

Since 2012, Ramona has created their own voice, becoming the leading band in the indie music movement in Tijuana. Only a few bands bring up the emblematic and unique elements of Mexican culture with different genres such as 60’s and 70’s rock and latin american ballad, creating their own style which they call romantic psychedelic rock.

​

The album Redes Sociales, was produced by Latin Grammy winners and Grammy nominees Demian and Alejandro Jimenez. Known for their work with Carla Morrison, Ricky Martin and Marian Ruzzi, among others. As a result, Ramona has built a bigger and more solid audience in Mexico and the United States, and in recent years, Peru, Argentina and Chile.

​

In Mexico, Ramona has shared stage with big musicians, such as Natalia Lafourcade, Hello Seahorse, Enjambre, Kinky, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Blonde Redhead, among others. Internationally, the band has performed in Argentina and in Toronto’s music week in Canada.

​

As a result of the high demand from the hispanic audience, Ramona is preparing to begin their US circulation, while promoting their new releases. Each single’s a part of a love story visually inspired by the Chicano culture in the border.

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 

​

The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

 DRAWING CONCLUSIONS  by Brian Flinn and  LIGHT  by R.F.Wilton, Two Solo Exhibitions. APRIL 17 - MAY 18, 2025

​

Brian Flinn recognizes that digital media has been a central component of his studio practice for nearly 25 years, though physical drawing is a fundamental part of his process. This exhibit brings together works spanning a variety of years, highlighting the maps of mark making that create the foundation for further explorations in both paint and digital media. Flinn explains, ”Drawing is an essential act offering me a venue from which to investigate and engage with the ideas and concepts that consistently drive my work. There are careful, slow meanderings of graphite and pastel, and large arcs of splashed or spilled ink that comprise much of these pieces. There are collage elements and scrapes that interact with the lines and areas, shaping the landscape of these drawings.” Brian Flinn is an

​

Associate Professor of Art, and the Art Education Program Coordinator at Central Connecticut State University. He earned a BFA and Masters at U of Bridgeport and his MFA at the School of Visual Arts in NYC.

​

R. F. Wilton offers us some LIGHT, a recurring theme for this photographer which also characterizes the positive attitude he affects. Large scale and high contrast, these images command attention. R. F. Wilton is a self-taught photographic artist who has been creating images for personal self-expression for over 50 years. Since the early 1970’s, he has been an enthusiastic cultivator of the arts, with experiences of co-founding communal fine art projects, working as a professional musician, teaching photography and darkroom technique at all academic levels and being a founding member of several arts boards. Mr. Wilton is now retired from a 32-year career in the enterprise business software industry.

​

In keeping with the historic location of Ball and Socket Arts which was a manufacturing facility, “Boardslide” is an exhibition focusing on the ability of fine artists to translate the form of a skateboard through their creativity.

​

The gap between sports and art is wide mainly due to preconceived notions. Fine artists often find themselves compelled to defend creation of utility items which are termed as craft as if it is in any way a genre of lesser importance. Likewise, sports equipment is usually not associated with fine art. In a complex world where a case can be made for all forms of creation to be connected through artistic as well as economic means, what better than the motif of a simple toy like a skateboard to form the basis of inspiration for a group of contemporary artists?

​

The materials are diverse as is the aesthetic of each participating artist.

​

Featured Artists:

​

Paul Baylock; Alan Bisbort; Tamhja Coe, Michaela Gorski; Deborah Hesse; Chelsea Marti; Mike Mindera; Sarah Nguyen; and Rashmi Talpade

​

Why You Should Come:

​

✨TO LEAVE EMPOWERED!

​

Self-defense skills can make all the difference whether you're learning to set boundaries to prevent a potentially dangerous situation, or to escape an attack and get help. This newfound confidence extends beyond the realm of self-defense, positively influencing other aspects of your life in the workplace or in social settings.

​

✨FOR A CONFIDENCE BOOST!

​

As you learn and master new techniques to enhance your skills, a profound sense of accomplishment and pride in your abilities will naturally follow! Knowing that you have the skills to protect yourself can give you a greater sense of security and peace of mind when you're out in public.

​

✨TO GET BACK IN YOUR BODY!

​

Our seminar isn't just about learning powerful defense techniques, it's a journey of reconnecting with yourself. Flexing your muscles and mental focus can serve as a form of "moving meditation," helping to clear your mind, reduce stress, and connect to your body in a new way!

​

✨TO FINALLY ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES!

​

The greatest power we possess is the ability to set boundaries - both verbally & physically. In this seminar, you will learn boundary setting, assessing intentions, and deterring unwanted advances before they happen. Additionally, we will run through scenarios to demonstrate techniques used by predators to catch you off guard.

​

✨AND...TO LEAVE WITH NEW FRIENDS!

​

THIS women’s self-defense seminar is an opportunity to meet other women and to be welcomed into a supportive community!

Some feedback from our badass participants:

​

-"All the moves were valuable - we have more power and control in a situation than I thought possible. We covered more than anticipated. You guys rock! Enjoyed every moment and picked up a lot! Thank you!!" -Daryl

​

-"Wonderful! Very informative, interactive, and exciting. Its much easier to defend yourself than I had previously thought." -Erin

​

-"I tried to envision real life scenarios that pertained to me when we were taught different techniques. Someone coming up behind me while I’m pumping gas or putting my toddler in his car seat are very real worries of mine so having techniques in my arsenal will hopefully allow me more confidence should a situation ever present itself. The class was very laid back, zero pressure, go at your own pace and I appreciated that. Everyone was so nice. I never felt awkward." -Stacey

​

-"I love that she used other techniques that weren’t just physical and how thorough Rachel was. It was a great opportunity to learn." -Jen

​

-"The confidence it gave me knowing I could fight back regardless of size and strength makes it less terrifying to be alone publicly." -Sireena

🎭  Come Experience Unbecoming Tragedy at Long Wharf Theatre

​

What does it mean to reclaim your narrative?

​

Stripped of everything but his imagination, a struggling actor transforms his prison cell into an unexpected stage. Unbecoming Tragedy: A Ritual Journey Toward Destiny is a gripping, poetic exploration of resilience, identity, and the redemptive power of storytelling. When all that remains is you—how do you rewrite your fate?

​

This groundbreaking  world premiere  is the culminating production of Long Wharf Theatre’s 60th Season and was developed through our New Works Initiative. Written and performed by New Haven artist  Terrence Riggins , the piece draws from his lived experience as an artist in prison, where imagination became survival and storytelling became a form of liberation.

​

Presented in partnership with  Collective Consciousness Theatre , Unbecoming Tragedy invites audiences into a transformative ritual—where theatre becomes a tool for reckoning, healing, and reclaiming power.

​

📍  Location:  Yale Off-Broadway Theater @   41 Broadway, New Haven, CT 06511

​

📅  Run Dates:  May 11 – June 1

Who It’s For: People drawn to shamanic practices seeking d-e-e-p soulful connection

​

What it’s for: Profound connection to the Divine 

​

Through a soft gaze into your eyes, Mountain Flower becomes a vessel through which Source comes to you. In this ceremony attendees sit in a safe, sacred space where they feel unconditionally loved, accepted, and supported. It’s quite common for people to connect with loved ones who’ve crossed the rainbow bridge. Others feel held and seen. Souls are fed. You will feel immediate support from the Divine, sometimes even before the ceremony begins. 

​

95% of the ceremonies Mountain Flower facilitates are downloaded and directed by Source. A master of holding sacred space and calling in the ancestors, through sacred ceremony, she bridges the worlds between body, spirit, the Divine and Earth Mother. Drawing upon her lineage as an indigenous medicine woman, fourth-generation drum maker, and Karuna Reiki Master Teacher, she acts as a channel for ancestral wisdom. She has served the spiritual community since 1999. Mountain Flower is the founder of Intentional Instruments, and a 6-time author, she writes about walking the spiritual path.

​

Your sound bath with crystal bowls and other sacred instruments played by Juls Bacewicz will soothe and reset your nervous system, align your energy centers, and prepare you to receive your message. Juls is the founder / owner of Soul Voyage Sound. She is a musician, sound creator, songwriter, music media creator, life-long learner, educator, and wellness practitioner. Her life purpose is to assist other soul beings on their journey toward wellness and happiness. 

​

Each participant receives:

​

1. A hands-on heart chakra healing from Mountain Flower to remove blockages while heightening your ability to receive a message from the Divine.
2. A heart opening attunement to infuse you with unconditional love and blessings.
3. Mountain Flower notes the visual or auditory channeled message she gets during your hands-on heart chakra healing.
4. A second full sensory message is conveyed through Mountain Flower’s eyes while she sits in front of you with a loving gaze. Oftentimes your guides or loved ones who have crossed over come through. 
5. An audio recording of the visual message Mountain Flower sees during the heart chakra healing with instructions on how to explore and further deepen the connection with what came through.
6. An intuitively guided custom sound bath played for you during your channeled messages by Juls.

​

Attendees Say:

​

• ”An absolutely incredible experience that I will treasure for a lifetime!”
• “I felt connected, transported to a magical place.”
• "As soon as you looked into my eyes, I saw my grandmother who had passed. It was very moving, I went from missing her to feeling joy.”
• “You just healed something I’ve been carrying around my whole life!”
• “This was a life-altering event, it was magical!"
• “I felt like you were pulling stuck stuff out of me."

​

People who've worked with Mountain Flower call her ceremonies:

​

• “Extremely innovative”

• “Life-changing”
• “Freeing” 

​

***Please arrive 15 minutes EARLY: doors close 5 minutes before the ceremony begins. Mountain Flower goes to great lengths to create and hold a sacred space for you to have the highest vibrational experience possible. The studio is smudged before setting up, all our equipment is smudged before each use, and everyone is smudged before entering our ceremonial space. Please be respectful of the process and arrive early.*** 

​

Wear comfortable clothing; you will be sitting up and lying down. Bring a yoga mat, a bottle of water, or anything else you want to be comfortable.

Oddfellows Playhouse Teen Repertory Company presents Everybody May 15 - 24. All performances will be held at Oddfellows Playhouse, 128 Washington Street, Middletown.

​

Everybody is a fast-paced contemporary adaptation of the medieval morality play “Everyman”, in which an individual struggles facing their own death and is forced to confront the meaning of life. Written by contemporary playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (whose most recent play, Purpose, is currently on Broadway), Everybody was a finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. 

​

Everybody, which features a cast of 16 performers ages 14 -20, is directed by Hannah Simms. Scenic Design is by Dan Schmidt, Costume Design by Christian Milik, Sound Design by Joseph Getter, Lighting Design by Aaron Westcott, and Properties Design by Pam Lang.

​

Director Simms says “A morality play is an apt choice for a moment in which our national morality is being put to the test. Everybody is a wickedly funny play that explores what morality and mortality look like in our disconnected culture, and this cast of brilliant young actors are tackling it with bravery and sensitivity.”

​

Tickets are $18 for adults and $10 for kids and students. “Big Hearted Oddfellow” tickets are available for $25 for anyone who really loves and values theater and its impact on the lives of young people.

​

Thursday, May 15 at 7 pm is a “Pay-What-You-Can” Preview. Performances will be at 7 pm on May 16, 17, 23 and 24, and at 4 pm on Sunday, May 18.

​

Everybody is presented through special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC.

​

Tickets may be purchased at https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/oddfellowsplayhouse/everybody-by-branden-jacobs-jenkins

​

For more information, call (860) 347-6143, email info@oddfellows.org, or go to www.oddfellows.org.

​

Everybody is made possible thanks to support from the City of Middletown; American Savings Foundation; Middletown Commission on the Arts; Connecticut Office of the Arts/DECD; The Fund for Greater Hartford; State of Connecticut Judicial Branch (Youth Violence Prevention); Middletown Youth Services Bureau; Community Foundation of Middlesex County; Middlesex United Way; George and Grace Long Foundation; Liberty Bank Foundation; many generous individual donors; and you, supporting youth arts in Connecticut by purchasing a ticket for this performance.

The Alpaca Gnomes are a spirited seven-piece rock-folk jam band based in Bridgeport, CT. Incorporating violin and saxophone into their songs along with both acoustic and electric guitars, bass, and drums, the band’s dynamic yet earthy sound offers both respite and revelry for all who listen. Voted by the readers of CT magazine as the best CT Band (2022), the band blends its hooky and lyrically thoughtful original songs with classic covers done in their own way.  

The unique brand of original stomp and groove music the Alpaca Gnomes offer has allowed them to be integral part of a variety of festivals and concert series throughout CT and beyond.  

Nowhere is The Alpaca Gnomes’s impact more obvious than in the community they have cultivated. A loyal and enthusiastic group of fans known as “Gnomies” can be found at many of their live shows joining in the fun by wearing the band’s signature Gnome style hats while singing and dancing along to their beloved favorites.  

They have sold out venues in CT such as Fairfield Theatre Company Warehouse, FTC Stage One, Park City Music Hall and The Acoustic. The unique brand of original stomp and groove music the Alpaca Gnomes offer has allowed them to be integral part of a variety of festivals including Pleasantville(NY), Jerry Jam(NH) Conserfest(RI) CT Folk Fest(New Haven), Two Roads Road Jam, Blues on the Beach, Soupstock, Downtown Sounds and more. They have performed in locations from California to Nantucket as well as Block Island and all of New England and the tri met area.
