<div style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">GREENWICH, NY (July 6,
2017) – </span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Celebrated singer/songwriter Bob Warren will
present a paean in song to his hometown of Greenwich in “Small Town World,” a
free concert that is part of the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Greenwich Free Library’s live
music series, “Music is Living History.” The event is slated for Saturday,
August 5, 7 p.m., at the Greenwich High School Auditorium, 10 Gray Avenue, Greenwich.</span></div>
<div class="aolmailmsonormal" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="aolmailmsonormal" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Warren will lead the audience on a narrated lyrical journey
through local history and culture in a program that will include excerpts from
“Only the Message Mattered” (a song cycle about Susan B. Anthony, who grew up
in Greenwich) and his original theatrical work , “Greenwich—The Musical,” which--starring
more than 80 Greenwichians--debuted in 2004 in three unforgettable, sold-out
performances. The concert will also feature new material that Warren is
composing specifically for “Small Town World.”</span></div>
<div class="aolmailmsonormal" style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Along with Warren, performers
will include </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mary Anne Brown, Mary Nell Morgan Brown, Tim Bulger, Johanna
Campbell, Virginia May Edinger, Kendall Hamilton, Peter Martin, Adeline Record,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kayla Stewart, Mitch Throop,

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope that the
personal nature of the material will add to the audience’s experience,” Warren
said. “If ‘Small Town World’ contributes the smallest something to the data
base of local knowledge, I will be happy.” </span></div>

has produced a surprisingly diverse body of song. From musicals to rock and
everything in between, his music shares his unmistakable humor, wit and heart.
The songs address a wide range of topics: one, a portrait of the Battenkill,
another, an adrenaline rush of a song about his former noisy neighbors, yet
another written for the AARP crowd. The peace movement, born-again philosophy and
the aftermath of the school shooting in Newtown, CT have all influenced his songwriting.
Then, there are catchy, soulful tunes that just feel like a summer's day at the
beach.</span></div>
