Bruce Mandel Performs At The New Lebanon Library

By

Berkshire musician Bruce Mandel will perform an evening of acoustic folk and rock at the New Lebanon Library on Friday, September 19, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. The public is welcome, and the event is free, although donations for the performer are welcome.

Bruce Mandel’s guitar, keen lyrical ear and intimate and honest voice have traveled with him across the country and through musical territory both new and familiar. According to Singer & Musician Magazine, he is “reminiscent of the singer/songwriters who penned the soundtrack of the 60s and 70s…Bruce Mandel brews up a coffeehouse sound that’s espresso rich in inspiration and experience.”

The New Lebanon Library is located at 550 State Route 20, New Lebanon, just north of the yellow blinking light. For further information, contact the Library at 518-794-8844.
