Middletown House Concert Series

Tim Eriksen is a highly regarded singer of American folksong and shapenote music, a songwriter whose work has been covered by Alison Krauss, Joan Baez, and Bonny "Prince" Billy and a multi-instrumentalist with a background in punk rock and South Indian classical music.
With Absence and her sister, a new project with longtime collaborator Peter Irvine, percussion and voice, the duo return to their roots in folk minimalism and Gothic Americana- new and ancient songs of their native New England informed by the wide palette of their other collaborations.
The two are probably best known for their musical contributions to films including the Oscar-winning Cold Mountain and cult horror phenomenon The Outwaters, and as founding members of the anomalous folk-noise outfit Cordelia’s Dad, "the only band to have performed with both Doc Watson and Nirvana." But while echoes of punk-folk and shapenote music abound on Absence and her sister, so does the dissonance and rhythmic complexity of their Bosnian band Žabe I Babe, the deep groove they picked up from collaborators like banjo master Dwight Diller and East African gospel singers the Naamaara sisters, and the love of experimentation and power of repetition celebrated in Terry Riley's In C, the first piece the two ever played together as teenagers. The album also abounds with echoes from Pumpkintown, the duo's New England magic lantern show with painter/projectionist Susan Brearey, named for the birthplace of both Absence Wing and her twin. The place may be imaginary, but the musicians know its sunlit meadows and dark secrets well.$25 general

Hagaman Memorial Library

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Connecticut author Jackson Kuhl will give a presentation about Revolutionary War hero Samuel Smedley at the Hagaman Memorial Library on Thursday, September 10.
At the outbreak of war between Great Britain and the American colonies in 1775, Connecticut established its own state navy “for the Defence of the sea-coasts.” This fleet was separate from the Continental navy, which was authorized and overseen by the Continental Congress.
At the age of 23, Samuel Smedley of Fairfield was commissioned as a lieutenant of marines onboard the Connecticut navy flagship Defence. Less than a year later he was her captain, scouring the seas for British prey.
Smedley captured prizes, battled British ships in Boston Harbor and privateers off the coast of South Carolina, survived smallpox, a devastating shipwreck, was captured twice and escaped from an English prison, only to lose everything he owned.
Jackson Kuhl is the author of Samuel Smedley, Connecticut Privateer, a biography of the Revolutionary War’s most daring sea captain. Kuhl is also the author of the acclaimed gothic mysteries The Island of Small Misfortunes and A Season of Whispers. He has worked as an editor, journalist, ghostwriter, and freelance writer. Kuhl teaches writing at Mitchell College and lives in coastal Connecticut.
Kuhl will discuss Smedley’s Revolutionary War adventures and sign copies of Samuel Smedley, Connecticut Privateer at the Hagaman Memorial Library on Thursday, September 10 at 6 pm. The library is located at 227 Main Street in East Haven, and no RSVP is required.
