The Woodbridge Town Library and Town of Woodbridge are organizing outdoor acoustic concerts this spring and summer. The Woodbridge Unplugged concerts will be a fun, free and safe way for residents to come together, enjoy each other’s company and listen to local talent.
The final concert on June 24 features our youngest performer, Flynn Carney. Flynn Carney has been singing since before she could talk! Her parents, Brigid and Tim Carney, reflected that Flynn’s first instrument was her voice but soon after, a set of drums courtesy of her grandparents and drum lessons with her teacher, Gary Fiandra, when she was 5 years old. Flynn attends Hamden Hall’s Country Day School and was “Puck” in their fall “musical” of “Shakespeare’s Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” where her songwriting talents were lent to her director and Drama teacher, Karl Gasteyer. During the pandemic she picked up guitar. She is delighted to be performing in her “new” hometown of Woodbridge.
Bring lawn chairs, blankets, and snacks! Concerts will take place from 6 pm to 7 pm and be located on the north side of the library facing Newton Rd. Masks are recommended and we ask that everyone follow social distancing guidelines. No registration necessary.

Dr. Mark Schenker of Yale University will return to the library on Sunday, June 6 at 2:45 pm to discuss his approach to literature and how anyone who reads for personal enjoyment can gain insight into what makes literature art. And in the process, how we all can get more out of reading.
A string trio featuring Amity High School students and library volunteers Alice, Anna, and Nora Youtz will perform prior to the lecture.
This event is hosted by the Friends of the Library in memory of Barbara Rader, longtime member and a past president of the Friends. It will be held outside on library grounds, and refreshments will be served.

The second concert on May 27 will feature local resident Steven Bettencourt. Steve grew up in the seventies and eighties listening to many styles of music. He began playing guitar and performing live as a teen through his college years. Influenced by artists ranging from Richie Havens to Stuart Adamson, his music spans several genres of cover songs and originals. After a hiatus of over twenty years, Steve began composing and performing again. Since 2016, he has been featured at local coffee houses, breweries and farmers markets. Steve has recently moved to Woodbridge and this will be his first performance in his new home town.
