WEEK AT A GLANCE

“Swinging Through the Decades: Cinema Songs of the 20th Century” features jazz vocalist Janet Paulsen bringing to life classic movie songs from the 1930s through the 1990s. With engaging backstories, fresh arrangements, and a visual journey of film images, the evening promises to be both entertaining and memorable. A familiar favorite at Manor Mill since its early days, Janet is delighted to return, joined by her music director and accompanist Anthony Pocetti and a swinging band.

Pressing Strings and Driftwood in Concert and Conversation

blues, folk-rock

Sunday, January 18

3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Hailing from Annapolis, Maryland, Pressing Strings–a powerhouse trio led by guitarist and vocalist Jordan Sokel–has earned a loyal following with their genre bending blend of blues, rock, and folk, wrapped in soul-stirring storytelling and toe tapping grooves. Their music resonates with the emotional grit of blues, the laid back swagger of folk, and the urgency of modern rock.

The Upstate New York folk-rock group Driftwood—founded by Joe Kollar and Dan Forsyth, and now including Claire Byrne, Joey Arcuri, and Sam Fishman—continues to evolve its shapeshifting folk approach. Their transformative sixth album, December Last Call, was recorded in the very basement where the dream began. It lyrically reflects on the group’s journey through life changes and the pandemic, while sonically looking ahead by experimenting with hard-rocking electric guitars and percussion alongside their bluegrass roots.
