BOB WARREN AND FRIENDS CELEBRATE A‘SMALL TOWN WORLD’ IN FREE CONCERT SPONSORED BY GREENWICH FREE LIBRARY,
SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 7 P.M.


GREENWICH, NY (July 6,2017) – Celebrated singer/songwriter Bob Warren willpresent a paean in song to his hometown of Greenwich in “Small Town World,” afree concert that is part of the Greenwich Free Library’s livemusic 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.
 
Warren will lead the audience on a narrated lyrical journeythrough 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 upin Greenwich) and his original theatrical work , “Greenwich—The Musical,” which--starringmore than 80 Greenwichians--debuted in 2004 in three unforgettable, sold-outperformances. The concert will also feature new material that Warren iscomposing specifically for “Small Town World.”
 
Along with Warren, performerswill include Mary Anne Brown, Mary Nell Morgan Brown, Tim Bulger, JohannaCampbell, Virginia May Edinger, Kendall Hamilton, Peter Martin, Adeline Record,
Kayla Stewart, Mitch Throop,C.J. Lyttle, Kevin Warren and Serafina York. The band will feature MattDonnelly (piano, keys), Kevin Warren (bass), Mitch Throop (percussion) and BobWarren (guitar), with special guest Bliss McIntosh (fiddle) and Greg Edinger(bodhran). Choreography will be by Darcy May. 
 
“I hope that thepersonal nature of the material will add to the audience’s experience,” Warrensaid. “If ‘Small Town World’ contributes the smallest something to the database of local knowledge, I will be happy.” 
 
With his roots in the folk troubadour tradition, Warrenhas produced a surprisingly diverse body of song. From musicals to rock andeverything 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, yetanother written for the AARP crowd. The peace movement, born-again philosophy andthe 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 thebeach.
 
“Small Town World” is the second installment inthe Greenwich Free Library’s three-part, free series celebrating music as anessential conduit of stories passed from generation to generation. Roundingout the series, John Kirk and TrishMiller of Quickstep will explore traditional folk music--its origins, instrumentsand local variations--in a concert Saturday, October 21, 7 p.m., also at theGreenwich High School Auditorium.
