Please join multi-stringed guitarists: Matthew Foley, Matthew Grasso, and Sean O’Connor for an evening of eclectic guitar music.

This “Pandemic Performance” will take place outside on a driveway requiring at least eight feet of social distancing, plus masks for everyone’s safety. Please bring your own chair, hat, and beverage. Although the concert is free, please consider donating $15-$20 to help support the musicians.
