Sunday Street Concert: Lucy Kaplansky

LIM, The Greater Port Jefferson Arts Council, and WUSB-FM’s Sunday Street Concert Series present an eclectic music series featuring nationally and internationally known touring artists.

According to The Boston Globe, "Lucy Kaplansky is becoming the troubadour laureate of modern folk." Everyday Street brought a collection of her songs often referencing her longtime home, Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, followed by Last Days of Summer in 2022 and The Lucy Story, a retrospective of rare and unreleased tracks, appearing this year. Kaplansky’s career began in Greenwich Village at venues like The Cornelia Street Café and The Bottom Line, and she was well-represented on Jack Hardy’s Fast Folk recordings. After working as a psychologist, she returned to music full-time, releasing her debut album, The Tide (produced by Shawn Colvin) in 1994. Other acclaimed albums followed, and her song "Land of the Living" received frequent folk radio play for its nuanced reflection on the reaction to 9/11.

Location: The performance will take place in the Carriage Museum’s Gillespie Room (Please bring a sweater or light jacket for comfort).
