The Gathering Room is proud to present singer/songwriter, Steve Nystrup, with vocalist Maureen Wasik, and bassist Aaron Nystrup in concert on Saturday, November 14th at 7 pm. The concert will be held in a private home in Glastonbury, CT. Suggested donation is $15 along with a non-perishable food donation for the local food bank and reservations can be made by e-mailing <a href="mailto:pattisivocole@gmail.com">pattisivocole@gmail.com</a> or calling (860) 633-5057. Directions will be forwarded at that time.
Steve Nystrup, a Glastonbury native, is an Emmy Award winning guitarist and composer. He performs with the band Fountainhead alongside his wife, Maureen Wasik, and together with their son, Aaron Nystrup, they are the Steve Nystrup Trio.&nbsp;During the vibrant coffeehouse scene of the 1990s, Steve released several&nbsp;CDs and shared the bill with artists including Pat Benatar, Boz Scaggs, Dar&nbsp;Williams, Patty Larkin, Richard Shindell, Kate Taylor, and Lucy Kaplansky.




The Steve Nystrup Trio delivers a transcendent sincerity. Their musicianship is&nbsp;truly elevated and Steve’s singular guitar revelations complement his and&nbsp;Maureen’s songwriting perfectly. The instrumentation never overwhelms the&nbsp;song’s primary core.The interplay between father and son on guitar and bass&nbsp;is always a highlight and everything works in total organic harmony with&nbsp;Steve and Mo’s vocals. Their intimate vocal inflections capture the hearts&nbsp;and souls of their fans. Steve’s latest EP is the majestic, Stay a Little&nbsp;Longer (2024) with contributions from Mo and Aaron highlights his strong&nbsp;songwriting acumen and his intrinsic storytelling.








The Trio will entertain the audience in the comfortable candlelit living room of a private home where guests will also enjoy homemade refreshments.Sharing good food, good company, and great music, it will be an experience you won’t forget.
