Sunday we have 2 worship services in the morning. Food Not Bombs shares a delicious, free meal at 1 pm and often offers some casual music, and always enlightening conversation.

Dan Arcamone Jazz!

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011 - @8pm
$10 / $8 students

High energy, rock-influenced jazz!

Dan Arcamone - guitar

Jen Allen - piano

Rich Zurkowski - bass

Joe Palmer - drums

Swinging, soulful, energetic, gifted, flawless, these are just some of the words that have been used by critics to describe Connecticut based guitarist Dan Arcamone. Equally at home as a composer and performer, Arcamone’s powerful yet elegant style has been winning over audiences and critics alike. Drawing influences from the likes of Pat Metheny, John Coltrane, and Michael Brecker, Arcamone has developed a playing style that All About Jazz calls “intellectually stimulating” and “high energy.”
