presented by Connecticut State Historian Walt Woodward and the musical group Band of Steady Habits The Historical Society of Glastonbury (HSG) brings you “Frost Season: The Poetry of Robert Frost in Story and Song” presented by Connecticut State Historian Walt Woodward and the musical group Band of Steady Habits, on Tuesday, January 23rd at 7:30pm at the First Church Congregational, 2183 Main Street in Glastonbury. This is the first of four free presentations open to the public which the HSG sponsors throughout the year. In “Frost Season,” Walt Woodward and the musical group Band of Steady Habits present a unique occasion for you to enjoy the works of American poet Robert Frost paired with songs that reflect and amplify the power of New England’s most beloved poet. Robert Frost was a four-time Pulitzer Prize winner for volumes of his poetry. Walter Woodward was formerly a hit songwriter and is now an award-winning author of books about New England history and an Associate Professor of History at the University of Connecticut. A long-time admirer of Frost, Woodward and his musical partners Rachel Smith, Teagan Smith, Jeremy Teitelbaum, Rick Spencer and Duke York present a unique tribute to Frost– a lecture, love story, poetry reading, and song-pairing, all in one. About Band of Steady Habits The six-member acoustic Band of Steady Habits came together in 2014 to share their love of music, and to use their talents to help create a new kind of public history presentation. Rachel Smith, Teagan Smith, Jeremy Teitelbaum, Walt Woodward, Rick Spencer, and Duke York use banjo, guitars, violin, recorders, bass, percussion, and beautiful harmonies to perform songs – some old, some original, and some contemporary – to accompany the rich and evocative stories of Walt Woodward. The stories provide new insights and perspectives into topics ranging from the Civil War to the uniqueness of Connecticut, to the poetry of Robert Frost. The Band of Steady Habits has received rave reviews throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts where they are gaining fans for both their stories and music. This presentation is FREE and open to the public. Parking is in the rear of the Church. Come in the bottom rear door or the side door facing the driveway.
