Beginning at 6 p.m. in the Gallery Events Space\, the performance pairs singer and folk scholar Jerry Bryant with musician and series host Craig Edwards for an evening exploring the music passed down through generations. \nBryant draws from 500 years of American\, Irish\, and British musical traditions\, with a particular interest in the songs and stories of maritime life. His repertoire includes hundreds of traditional and contemporary folk songs\, along with original compositions inspired by those traditions. \nSongs From the Sea and Beyond\nFor Jerry Bryant\, folk music is as much about preserving stories as performing songs. \nA singer\, songwriter\, entertainer\, and independent folk scholar\, Bryant specializes in music that has traveled through centuries of everyday life. Maritime culture holds a special place in his work\, from songs associated with sailors to the musical traditions of coastal communities. \nHis performances feature an assortment of acoustic instruments\, including concertina\, guitar\, banjo\, ukulele\, and bones\, a traditional percussion instrument. \nThat variety allows him to move between musical styles while keeping the focus on the songs themselves and the people who carried them forward. \nCraig Edwards Brings the Traditions Together\nRoots Music Stomp is hosted by Craig Edwards\, a multi-instrumentalist whose musical interests span an unusually broad range of American roots traditions. \nEdwards performs Appalachian old-time music\, blues\, bluegrass\, Cajun\, Celtic\, folk\, swing\, zydeco\, sea chanteys\, and more. His instruments include fiddle\, guitar\, banjo\, mandolin\, and button accordion. \nEach month\, Edwards welcomes a guest musician with expertise in traditional music. Together\, they explore the sounds and influences that helped shape American musical culture. \nThe November performance with Bryant brings a particularly strong maritime connection to the series\, making it a fitting program for an audience in coastal New England. \nAn Intimate Evening of Traditional Music\nThe performance takes place in the UNITED Theatre’s Gallery Events Space\, offering audiences an opportunity to experience acoustic roots music in a live setting. \nRather than concentrating on one musical genre or period\, Roots Music Stomp connects songs from different places and generations\, revealing how traditions influence one another. \nFor listeners who enjoy folk music\, maritime history\, or the stories behind old songs\, Bryant and Edwards offer an evening built around musical discovery. \nThe performance begins at 6 p.m. on Sunday\, November 8\, at the UNITED Theatre in downtown Westerly. Tickets are available through the theater’s website. \n\nFeatured image is an artistic representation inspired by the event and may not depict the actual people\, location\, or activities shown. \n
