February 18: Band of Steady Habits - Band of Steady Habits came together as a group in 2014 to share their love of music, and to use their talents to help create a new kind of public history presentation.  They use banjo, guitars, violin, recorders, bass, percussion, and beautiful harmonies to perform songs-some old, some original, and some contemporary-to accompany the visually rich and evocative stories of state historian Walt Woodward.  They will be presenting "Handed Down in Song: New England History and Culture."  Snow date: February 25 at 4:00pm.   March 18: The Jolly Beggars - The Jolly Beggars bring the rich tradition of Celtic folk music and storytelling to modern day audiences.  Based out of Connecticut, their traditional songs and musical arrangements have exposed many to the joys of Celtic music.  Characterized by their tight harmonies and use of guitars, mandolin, tin whistles, octave mandolin, mandola, tenor banjo, double bass, bodhran, spoons, and more, The Jolly Beggars have quickly built a solid following and continue to spread their music around the east coast.  Snow date April 22 at 2:00 pm.
