Massachusetts-based singer, storyteller, author, playwright, educator, performing artist, and frequent NPR commentator Bill Harley inhabits a special world of wit and wisdom. You may have heard Bill as a storyteller in one of his family shows, which appeal to all ages. But tonight’s concert is devoted to Bill’s brand-new all-song release for adults, "First Bird Call." With 12 original songs ranging from a parent’s plea to late-night ponderings, love songs, and an anthem to the state of Rhode Island, this recording showcases Bill Harley’s compassion, humor and musical mastery. Bill Harley is a two-time Grammy winner who, said Penguin Books of his stories and novels for kids, "has the uncanny ability to reaffirm life for listeners"--and that goes for listeners of all ages.
