The Lost Acres String Band is a Connecticut-based trio - Gordon Swift, violin, Paul Howard, guitar, and Jon Swift, upright bass - serving up a rich stew of songs and instrumentals from a wide variety of music with the added spice of some exotic originals. The band honors the long American string-band tradition of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries while branching out in new directions. A typical show might include blues, Gypsy jazz, a Mexican dance tune, a romantic waltz, a contemporary piece for string trio, a haunting Hispanic ballad from the old Southwest, a classic string-band number by The Mississippi Sheiks, a lilting folk tune from Colombia and swing tunes from the 1930s. Seating is limited, so registration is required online or at the Reference Desk at 860-652-7720.

The music series is presented by the Friends of Welles-Turner Memorial Library and Welles-Turner Memorial Library in memory of Isabella Waters, who was a generous library supporter.
