LYME — Lyme Land Trust hosts Blues in the Field with Ramblin’ Dan Stevens this Sunday, Oct. 18, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Banningwood Preserve on Diana’s Field.
What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than listening to music in a safe outdoor environment? Bring your blanket, chairs and picnic basket and enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the Lyme Land Trust’s beautiful Banningwood Preserve.
When you arrive at the Preserve, you will be directed to the parking. From the parking area, it is an easy half-mile walk along an old woods road nature trail to reach Diana’s Field.
Ramblin’ Dan Stevens performs an eclectic mix of traditional fingerstyle blues, Americana and originals. He has entertained audiences throughout the US, Germany, the UK, Canada and the Virgin Islands.
Of special interest is his unique style of “bottleneck” slide playing popularized by early Mississippi Delta Bluesmen, including his use of a homemade, three stringed “Cigar Box Guitar” and one stringed “Diddly Bow,” both primitive blues instruments.
State of Connecticut social distancing guidelines will be followed. The strict limit for the event is 50 people.
Reservations and prepayment required. No walk-ins. Raindate is Oct. 25.
Tickets are $10.
