Sloan Wainwright – Music Concert Series

The Long Island Museum announces its partnership with s Sunday Street Concert Series and The Greater Port Jefferson Arts Council, presenting an eclectic music series featuring national and international touring artists through spring 2016.

The series begins with singer/songwriter Sloan Wainwright.  All performances take place at the Long Island Museum in the Gillespie Meeting Room of the Carriage Museum, a new venue for WUSB’s long-running series. The Greater Port Jefferson Arts Council, whose motto is “bringing our North Shore communities together through the arts and expression,” is a proud co-presenter of these exceptional performances.

The Sunday Street Series began in 2004 at The University Cafe at Stony Brook University, when Charlie Backfish, host of the long-running weekly program Sunday Street (Sunday mornings on WUSB 90.1 FM and   from 9 AM to 12 noon), began presenting concerts with many of the singer/songwriters featured on the program. In its first decade, the series presented 172 concerts with musicians from all over the world performing in an intimate venue. It’s a favorite of the likes of Eric Andersen, Fairport Convention, Garland Jeffreys, Iain Matthews, Graham Parker, Susan Werner and many more.

Advance sale tickets are $22 through Friday, January 15th with tickets at the door for $27 (cash only).
