​James Maddock Trio
Saturday, February 11th
7:30 p.m.

James Maddock will be performing at the Beekley with his Trio, featuring Aaron Comess of the Spin Doctors on drums and Rich Hammond on bass. Maddock's 2009 album Sunrise On Avenue C won a New York Music Award for Best Americana Album, With the release of Another Life (2013) and The Green (2015) Maddock continued to demonstrate why many consider him to be one of the best singer/songwriters working today. He has performed with Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nile, Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors) and David Immergluck (Counting Crows). Songs from Another Life have been featured on NBC’s Parenthood and ABC Family’s Switched at Birth. Maddock is a constant live presence in the U.S. and Europe. 

Maddock’s 2021 album, Little Bird in the Neighbourhood, harks back to the acoustic approach of Another Life.  With some old and some new musical collaborators (Aaron Comess, Ben Rubin, Brian Mitchell, Scott Sharrard, Ben Stivers, Craig Dryer, and David Immergluck) Maddock delivers another exquisite collection of musical vignettes.

American Patchwork Quartet
Saturday, March 25th
7:30 p.m.

NYC-based American Patchwork Quartet (APQ) is on a mission to reclaim the immigrant soul of American Roots Music. Grammy-winning guitarist/vocalist Clay Ross, drummer Rudy Royston, violinist and vocalist Harini Raghavan, and bassist Yoshiki Yamada showcase the dynamic diversity of contemporary culture by reimagining timeless songs from America’s past.
APQ draws on a repertoire of centuries-old American folk songs that highlight America’s immigrant roots. They showcase America’s dynamic present by combining the diverse talents of four U.S. citizens, each with a unique cultural background. In this quartet, old songs are made new through creative arrangements that highlight the exceptional and well-honed skills of each band member. APQ performances strive to counter pervasive prejudices around the issues of race and immigration. In order to help strengthen our country's social fabric, APQ desires that audiences reflect on the notion that, as Americans, we must acknowledge our differences to discover our commonalities. We must recognize the realities of racism and prejudice in order to build authentic and lasting bonds across cultures and color lines. While we are not responsible for our country's past, we are accountable for its future.

​Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Register to reserve a seat by clicking the eventbrite link below, emailing staff@beekleylibrary.org, or calling the library at 860-379-7235. Advance tickets must be purchased by Wednesday, March 22.

​The Beekley Library is home to Nights at the Beekley - a concert series at one of Connecticut's most unique music venues. Our goal is simple - present leading singer-songwriters of today who deliver a body of work through the season that is unforgettable. The venue is a gem of architecture in the Great Hall of the Beekley Community Library in New Hartford, CT.  Volunteers create intimacy between the artist and audience while a superior sound system delivers the goods to the crowd. How rare to find a venue just minutes from home where you can sit comfortably & sip some wine while enjoying some of today's finest songwriting. Be careful though - if you come to one, you just might get hooked.   ​
