The Marlborough Arts Center's "4th Friday @ the Arts
Cafe" will present the trio "Seat
of Our Pants" on Friday, February 28, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. at 231
North Main Street, Marlborough, CT. They are an acoustic
folk/blues/bluegrass/country/old time/rock trio who are based in Marlborough
but play in the music scene throughout the state. This trio is composed of
Carolyn Brodginski on vocals/guitar/dulcimer, Mark Hall also on vocals plus
percussion/cajon/cowbell, and Jeff Gorman on electric and acoustic
bass/guitar/harmonica. Their tastes are quite varied and it is the variety of
the music that creates the fun for them, and for their audiences. Their personalities
bring humor into their performances so that an evening with them is very
interactive and a delight for all ages.
Their group formed serendipitously in 2011 when the three
decided to play together just for fun after an impromptu performance by Carolyn
and Jeff at the Marlborough Tavern on a night when Mark was playing with
another band. It wasn't long before they started hitting the coffee house
circuit, many times playing by the seat of their pants after just a brief
rehearsal - and "Seat Of Our
Pants" was born. Audiences often sing along when they hear familiar
tunes from folk/rock artists like Simon and Garfunkel, Joni Mitchell and James
Taylor, as well as to their own versions of up-tempo songs you'd never expect
to hear from an "unplugged band". There are even some of their originals
in the mix by this prolific trio.
The Marlborough Arts Center is a non-profit regional center
for the fine arts, performing arts, and fine crafts. These "4th Friday @
the Arts Cafe" evenings held in the gracious Charles W. Hall Art Gallery
add music and a convivial atmosphere to the beautiful setting and are an opportunity
for people in the communities around to relax together and enjoy art in its
many forms.
