Harford County Public Library Hosts Free Concert to Celebrate National Library Week, 80th Anniversary

Join Harford County Public Library for a free swingin’ celebration of National Library Week and the Library’s 80th Anniversary on April 22 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Fiore Winery & Distillery, 3026 Whiteford Road in Pylesville.

The Daniel Bennett Group will perform an upbeat selection of 1940s-era music, bringing the timeless sounds of jazz and the Great American Songbook to life. The group was recently voted “Best New Jazz” by NYC’s Hot House Magazine. Concert attendees also will hear music from their newly released album, “The Deconstructed Songbook.”

“The Daniel Bennett Group is a customer favorite and has performed at Library events several times over the years. Their jazz and swing music is a great way for us to celebrate the Library’s 80^th anniversary with a nod to music of the 1940s, when the Library was founded,” said Mary Hastler, CEO of Harford County Public Library.

“We are so pleased that Daniel Bennett and his group are traveling from New York City to join us for this very special event.”

Available at the concert will be Fiore’s specially crafted creations made just for the Library’s 80th Anniversary: a bold red wine, “Read Between the Wines,” and a smooth vodka, “Chapter 80.” Guests are welcome to bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages for the concert. The concert will be held outdoors, and attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Advanced registration is recommended at https://programs.hcplonline.org/event/15769452.
