Ben Cosgrove & Sorch a Cribben-Merrill DESCRIPTION:$12 adv. - $15 day of | 7pm doors - 8pm show\n\nConnor Garve y is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Portland\, Maine\, with the amiable presence of an entertainer\, the lyrical depth of a poet\, and the enchantment of a storyteller. Garvey leaves audiences uplifted and i nspired through a positive message delivered in a way The Portland Press Herald says proves you can be optimistic and self-aware without being b oring. His unique sandy tenor and masterful blend of rhythm and melody d raw comparison to Paul Simon and contemporaries Josh Ritter and Jason Mr az. He wins song competitions. He fills rooms. But most of all he moves people.\n\nFirst time listeners often are drawn to Garveys engaging perf ormance style\, accomplished musicianship\, and memorable melodies. But his lyrics project a depth and sincerity that allow the observant listen er to find meaning beyond the catchy hook. Meanwhile\, the intricate pro duction of his albums adds emotional depth and keeps the songs fresh pla y after play.\n\nThis combination of songwriting and performance strengt h has earned Garvey numerous awards including being named winner of the Kerrville New Folk\, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest\, SolarFest\, Wildflower Art and Music Festival and Maine Songwriters Association songwriting com petitions\, voted as Most Wanted artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festiva l\, nominated for Best Male Performer in the New England Music Awards\, and a top new singer songwriter by Sirius XM's The Coffeehouse.\n\nOn hi s latest release\, Meteors and Beating Hearts\, Garvey shows further mat urity as a songwriter\, addressing personal and universal themes through a series of lyrical stories. Many of the songs were written as assignme nts for a weekly songwriting group. The challenge of writing a new song each week and presenting it to a group of artists he admires challenged and pushed Garvey to try a new approach to his songwriting.\n\nGarveys i nterest in music and writing began at a very young age. Both his parents are educators and his father was a songwriter. Growing up in such a mus ical environment in the artistically rich Northeast\, Garvey developed t he firm belief that songwriting is a method for bringing community toget her and a way for people to explore a greater depth within their own liv es.\n\nOriginally a drummer\, he picked up the guitar in his teens\, in part because his best friend was better with the sticks and together the y could start a rock band. But this rhythmic background remains at the c ore of his musical style. He merges syncopated bass lines with melodic l eads to create a full sound from his acoustic guitar.\n\nThe themes of c ommunity and living with intention run deep for Garvey\, from the musica l memories of his youth to his ease in developing relationships with aud iences and fellow artists. He builds upon on the energy of live performa nce to deliver a memorable experience in a way that has led folk stalwar ts Vance Gilbert and David Wilcox to proclaim the tradition of acoustic music is in good hands with Connor Garvey.\n\nCovid-19 Protocols:\n\nWe are very excited to be hosting live music shows again in our listening r oom.
