First Folk Sunday - Sentimental Journey
Westport, Ct – Paying tribute to the great American folk songwriters has been a hallmark of the First Folk Sunday concerts. Someone once said, “If it never gets old, it’s folk music”. With that in mind, Gershwin never gets old, Cole Porter never gets old. The American standard repertoire of the 40’s, which defined and enhanced the social order during World War II, remains popular to this day.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, marked the beginning of WWII for the United States. To honor the fateful memory of that day, which indeed has lived in infamy as President Franklin Roosevelt so accurately predicted it would, Suzanne Sheridan has asked Dave Childs (keyboards) and John Mobilio (standup bass) to join her in this tribute.
This concert will also mark the debut of Suzanne Sheridan as solo vocalist without her guitar. Previous audiences have been enchanted and inspired with Suzanne’s duality as both vocalist and guitarist. On December 7, she will be giving herself the opportunity to express a very different repertoire from the classic folk songs of Bob Dylan, Peter Paul and Mary, Woody Guthrie, and Joni Mitchell.
First Folk Sunday is approaching the last concert of its third season on December 7 and looking forward to its fourth season at the Saugatuck Rowing Club starting July 5, 2026.
In addition to the purchase of a ticket, the culinary team at Saugatuck Rowing Club, 521 Riverside Avenue, offers a First Folk Sunday brunch menu at each show along with craft cocktails and other beverages. Doors open at noon and the music begins at 12:30. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased on the First Folk Sunday website by clicking here.
