$15 donation to the performer

We were thrilled to present two-time Grammy nominee -- and a long-time personal favorite of Norm’s -- Bill Morrissey at our house concert venue.  His songs tell stories, either based on his observations, or more directly tied to his own experiences.  He has a stunning ability to capture the telling detail in his songs, and he reveals more about each of his memorable characters in three economical minutes than many other songwriters can in an entire album.

By turns humorous, ironic, clever, and lyrical, Morrissey’s stories are enhanced by their spare and intimate arrangements and are delivered in a voice that has been variously described as gravelly, craggy, weathered, husky, and tender.

More likely to be found on the club and concert hall circuit, Morrissey only rarely does a house concert, so this will be a unique opportunity to catch him in an "up close" setting.

Further his CDs sound great and are always "on rotation".

Bill is a very enjoyable performer, where his rare sense of humor really shines, and serves to complement his frequently poignant songs.

Doors, and the ice box, will open at 6:00 p.m., with the music to begin about 7:00.  Incidently, this show will feature one 90 minute set, so don't be late.  We will feature light food before the set, as usual, and will serve desert and coffee after the performance.
