GREENWICH, CT — Summer is officially underway at the Historical Society on June 2 with an encore performance by Merlin at the opening of the Music on the Great Lawn series.

"We’re extremely excited and honored to open with Merlin," said Dianne Niklaus, the historical society's manager of marketing communications, in a news release. "They will be fresh off the heels of an appearance at the Greenwich Town Party the weekend before, and at the end of the month, Bob Capazzo will be this year’s Greenwich Sentinel Award recipient at their ‘feel good party of the year’ on June 30. We are thrilled for Bob, whose many talents include photography and martial arts in addition to being a terrific person and family man."
