Lyrical Poet, Musician Coming to Captain Avery Museum

The following post was submitted by Mavis Daly with the Captain Avery Museum.

Virginia native and traveling troubadour Bob Zentz will take his audience on a high seas musical adventure when he appears at the Captain Avery Museum, the second in its Music on the Lawn: A Summer Series, from 6-8 p.m. July 8.

The program is free and open to the public. Donations of $5 per person will be appreciated. The Museum is located at 1418 EW Shady Side Rd.

As a performer, Mr. Zentz is a prolific musician, playing several dozen instruments in a repertoire of more than 2,000 songs. His six albums span folk, traditional, Celtic and maritime music. From schools to concert halls, festivals to fairs, museums to libraries, Mr. Zentz is dedicated to a life of presenting, performing and introducing traditional music.

He regales his audience with stories of life at sea on the Chesapeake Bay and beyond with songs and stories.

Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic to the magnificent waterfront of the museum overlooking the Chesapeake Bay with views of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It is the perfect setting for a Sunday evening family outing. Bring blankets and chairs for your comfort.

Beverages and food will be available for purchase. In the event of rain, the concert will be held indoors.
