Skylands Songwriters Guild

Roxbury Township Library and SSG are proud to present this Free Summer Gazebo concert series. Bring blankets/ chairs to sit on (and maybe a snack!) A rising star among Singer/Songwriters, Julia's songs and musical lineage express the truth, stories and concerns of her generation while directly connecting with great musicians of the past. Ar 17, she's been fortunate to be a "Featured Artist" at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art's virtual "Balcony Bar from Home Series" in partnership with ETHEL (60K views and counting!), and have performed at New York's iconic "Bitter End" and "The Cutting Room" stages. https://www.juliacrafton.com/ Opening will be Rachel Marie. Followimg a tradition of unapologetically forthright women folksingers, with songs that hearken to "overstuffed lines of Tori Amos, philosophical turn of Indigo Girls, and lilting vocals like Joni Mitchell." The social awareness of folk meets the introspection of the singer-songwriter tradition with a moderate dose of snark. An endearingly quirky stage presence as honest as her songs keeps audiences charmed. https://www.rachelmarie.com/ Tickets: FREE!! Please let us know that you'll be attending by registering here: Presented by the Roxbury Public Library & Skylands Songwriters Guild *Restrooms will be limited - plan ahead! Funding has been made possible in part by grant funds from Morris Arts through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. We also thank local sponsors Knights Automotive Group and Fox Architectural Design. The HSL Gazebo is a short walk from the Horseshoe Lake Festival grounds. Enter from Eyland Ave and follow the main road (and the signs) around to the back of the park, turn left and follow the railroad tracks until you get to the parking. Handicapped parking is available closer to the gazebo by looking for the gap in the fence and showing your handicapped placard to the attendant. We have helpers for carrying chairs if you would like that and we have also created a short video to show the best walking path to get to the viewing area - you can see it here: https://youtu.be/IksDGumatNk
