BAY'S LIFE IN STORY AND SONG: A Celebration of Tom Wisner
A live concert and CD release celebrating Tom Wisner's life and work: Follow on the Water: A Celebration of the Bay's Life in Story and Song will be held at the Calvert Marine Museum on Friday, January 29.
Tickets are $20.00/advance or $25.00/door and may be purchased at www.calvertmarinemuseum.com. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Seating is limited and advance purchase is recommended.
Wisner has dedicated his life to chronicling the rich traditions of our regional waterways. He will be joined on stage by local musicians and long-time friends and associates, Frank Schwartz, Teresa Whitaker, Mac Walter, and John Cronin, singer/songwriters and powerful performers.
"This new production, Follow on the Water, is an ensemble of stories ‘to hear, to tell, to sing'," says Wisner from his home in Calvert County. "They have been collected and crafted over years of interviews and through hearty friendships, culled from the energy of the earth and burnished by the Chesapeake sun. They are the songs and stories of the sailing oystermen," he says, "the sun-tanned, quiet breed of watermen whose lives are bound in the regional traditions to follow on the water."
The Calvert Marine Museum is located on State Route 2 in Solomons, Calvert County, Southern Maryland, twenty miles south of Prince Frederick, and about an hour and fifteen minutes from Washington D.C.
