Singer-songwriter Mark Erelli will give a performance at Westminster School Jan. 10 as part of the school’s Friday Nights at Westminster series. Faculty member Grant Gritzmacher will also give a musical performance.

New England-based multi-instrumentalist Erelli wears many hats: singer, songwriter, sideman and producer. His two-decade career highlights include 11 solo albums, stints accompanying Josh Ritter, Paula Cole and Anais Mitchell, and a pair of records he produced for Grammy-winning songwriter Lori McKenna. His latest release, “Mixtape,” features revelatory reinterpretations of songs by the Grateful Dead, Neko Case, Roy Orbison and others.

Erelli’s Westminster School performance is free and open to the public, and will begin at 7 p.m. in the Gund Reading Room of the school’s Armour Academic Center. The school is located at 995 Hopmeadow St. in Simsbury. Ample parking will be available in the parking lot adjacent to Armour Academic Center.
