The Power of Song for Justice: A Tribute to the Legacy of Peter, Paul & Mary, featuring Suzanne Sheridan, The Kennedys & Mustard’s Retreat – May 10 @ 8PM

Description

Mustard’s Retreat has been delighting audiences by telling stories for 40 years- they are witty, insightful, fun, and profound, as well as accomplished songwriters and musician ( guitars, dulcimer, electric bass, mandolin, harmonica, pennywhistle). In addition to being raconteurs and storytellers, they will give you things to laugh about for days to come and remember for years. Tales of stupid frogs, wandering cadavers, haunted bridges and techo-nerds, memories of small towns and high school, first loves and last…and places we’ve been or maybe just dreamed of.

Suzanne Sheridan has performed with Jose Feliciano at many Senior Living Facilities in Fairfield County and was also an original member of the musical group “Exit 43” with Andy Gundell, Scarlett Lee Moore, and Ed Thompson, that began at the Unitarian Church in Westport. Her musical career began with performing folk music in her church, Our Lady of Mercy, in Plainview, Long Island. She went on to singing in Paris, France during her junior year at SUNY New Paltz, and in New York City singing jingles for companies such as Pepsi, Hasbro Toys, Texaco Gas, and Hardees Hamburgers, as well as writing and performing her own original songs in many venues including The Bitter End and Gerties Folk City.

The Kennedys began their writing and touring life three decades ago as members of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra, developing their own sound as a frequent support act on Nanci’s tours across America, Ireland, Scotland and England. Collaborations with Nanci continued, culminating in Pete and Maura producing her final album, “Intersections.” Along the way, they hosted a nationwide radio program, “The Dharma Cafe” on Sirius/XM, wrote and released sixteen CDs of original music, and have been core artists on folk radio, expanding their audience further with the inception of the AAA and Americana formats.
