Island musicians Joan Moore & Gary Moore – Allergic to B’s – co-host this event on the Tavern Terrace with Staten Island OutLOUD. It’s a curtain-raiser for OutLOUD’s new autumn series for The Big Read/National Endowment for the Arts.
Gary & Joan will sing songs of the sea, and they’ll perform several sea poems. We invite everyone to read a poem of the sea – Your original work is especially welcome!
This year we’re celebrating Herman Melville’s 200th birthday with an exploration of “In the Heart of the Sea” by historian Nathaniel Philbrick. It’s the chilling story of the wreck of the whaleship “Essex” in 1820; it inspired Melville as he wrote “Moby Dick”.
The Tavern Terrace concerts are always relaxed & family-friendly. Buy a beer, ice cream or other snacks. OutLOUD will also give away books: What’s not to love?
