2019 September Acoustic Cruises on Wednesday Nights
Sep 09, 2019
September is a month of transition when kids go back to school; we harvest the last tomatoes and corn from the garden and start thinking about apple picking.
Even though summer is over, on paper, the Seaport Association has scheduled three Wednesday Night Acoustic Cruises on September 4, 11 and 18 that are not to be missed.
An added bonus on this relaxing cruise is that the nights remain warm and the sunsets are stunning on Long Island Sound; so don’t forget your camera. For your tickets click here.
On September 4, Joni and the Keepers are sure to lift your mid-week blues spirits with their entertaining set.
J
oni's sound was originally rooted in Country and Gospel, but over the years, her repertoire has expanded to include blues and rock as well any genre where great songs for great women singers can be found. Joni has fronted several bands in her career in the Midwest and on the East Coast, opened for Nashville acts in the New York area, and continues to evolve her music by surrounding herself with eclectic and outstanding musicians, like The Keepers. This is a cruise not to be missed!
On September 11, singer and songwriter Vinnie Ferrone, who has compiled a repertoire in excess of 1200 songs, 200 of which are his original compositions, will entertain passengers.
Ferrone has an uncanny vocal ability to conjure up the spirit and sound of the singers whose songs he chooses to cover.
His passionate and honest performances have given him the reputation of a one-man band that will be performing just for you on the water!
The last cruise of the season features the magical Pierce Campbell on September 18. Campbell was appointed as the Connecticut State Troubadour for 2007-2008, and is well known as a storyteller and a fabulously talented guitar, piano, and acoustic bass player. Passengers will unwind to his well-crafted songs, his rich and powerful voice and dazzling guitar work, with a story or two thrown in to round out an excellent night of entertainment.
