Join us for a wonderful afternoon of great music with our old friend Bob Walser, from Minneapolis. Bob is a great singer, multi-instrumentalist, and noted scholar of traditional music of the sea and shore.


Bob was the original director of the iconic Sea Music Festival held annually at the Mystic Seaport Festival Museum in Connecticut. He went on to get his PHD in ethnomusicology, and has toured throughout the USA, England, the Netherlands, France and Poland, delighting audiences with his deep knowledge of maritime music leavened with gentle humor. A skilled instrumentalist as well, Bob presents song accompaniments and dance tunes on melodeon, concertina, banjo and guitar.


He is a treasure trove of great, little-heard songs, and loves to share them with others, especially those with good choruses, so come prepared to sing.


Suggested donation for the concert is $15. For reservations and directions, e-mail Andy or Sondra or phone 301-324-7311
