Wednesday Night Acoustic Cruises August 2019 Serenades

The lazy days of August, one of the hottest months of the year in Connecticut are upon us. One way to cool off is to take an Acoustic Wednesday night cruise through Norwalk Harbor and Islands with the Seaport Association of Norwalk.  They have lined up a series of five acoustic on the water excursions for adults on August 7, 14, 21and 28 that feature a roster of different performing artists that are sure to delight passengers. For tickets click here.



This two-hour cruise departing at 6:30 p.m. and returning at 8:30 p.m. has the added attraction of a beautiful sunset on the water.  Imagine listing to the serene sounds of music while watching the sky fade into dusk amid the glimmer of city lights.  The views are fantastic and so is the music…it is like attending your very own private concert on the water with 48 friends!



On August 7, singer and songwriter Vinnie Ferrone, who has compiled a repertoire in excess of 1200 songs, 200 of which are his original compositions, will entertain passengers.  Ferrone has an uncanny vocal ability to conjure up the spirit and sound of the singers whose songs he chooses to cover.  His passionate and honest performances have given him the reputation of a one-man band that will be performing just for you on the water!



On August 14, Joni and the Keepers will perform an eclectic set of music ranging from Emmy Lou Harris to Melissa Ethridge, from blues to country, and, she will even perform some of her original music.    Strumming on the guitar since age nine, Joni's music continually evolves. As Joni likes to tell folks, “My music is for the searching soul.”



On August 21 and August 28, join the  Beatniks on an evening cruise and relax to the music of New Orleans with a little bit of funk and a lot of soul!  Their unique musical style and the way they interact with their audience will make this cruise unforgettable.
