Music, Mirth, Merriment Abound at Fabulous FloGris Concert

The ‘Mighty Soul Drivers’ performed on a stand set up on the banks of the Lieutenant River,

OLD LYME—Despite the intense rain storm in the afternoon, by the time the evening rolled around, the skies were clear and a wonderful night of music and friendship took place on the grounds of the FloGris Museum.

Concert-goers settled in for an evening of music, food and friendship.

The ‘Mighty Soul Drivers’ kicked off Old Lyme’s Midsummer Festival 2025 yesterday evening with a rousing concert.

‘The Rolling Tomato’ was doing a roaring trade before the concert began. Things quietened down after the music had started.

Picnics were eaten, beverages were consumed, friends reconnected, and some people even stood up and danced!

Some kayakers listened to the concert from the idyllic setting of the Lieutenant River.

A memorable night was enjoyed by all!

She built a successful career in efficiency analysis and senior audit management before launching her own PR-focused consultancy. After moving to the U.S. in 1990 and settling in Old Lyme in 1994, she became a staff writer for the now-closed Main Street News and later joined Jack Turner’s fledgling LymeLine.com, discovering the career she had always wanted—albeit in an unexpected digital form. Even after relocating to Maryland, she continued covering Lyme and Old Lyme with the same dedication, earning national recognition as a LION Publishers award finalist in 2020. After more than two decades of service, Olwen stepped away in November 2025, donating LymeLine.com to the newly formed nonprofit LymeLine Inc. and expressing her excitement for its continued growth and mission.
