SUMMARY:Ty Marshall at Saltwater Farm Vineyard
DESCRIPTION:Ty Marshall at Saltwater Farm Vineyard brings live local music to one of Stonington’s most distinctive vineyard settings on Friday\, August 14\, from 5 to 7 p.m. The performance is part of Saltwater Farm’s seasonal music schedule\, pairing an early Friday evening concert with wine and views across the vines and surrounding coastal landscape. \nMarshall is a local performer appearing around southeastern Connecticut\, but reliable published biographical information about him is limited. Rather than manufacture a résumé from scattered social listings\, the useful thing to know here is that this is a local singer-songwriter performance designed for the vineyard’s relaxed Friday-evening setting. \nAnd Saltwater Farm isn’t just scenery behind the music. The property has moved through several chapters of Stonington history\, from farmland to a small airport and eventually a vineyard\, with the former airplane hangar still standing at the center of it all. (Saltwater Farm Vineyard) \nAbout Ty Marshall\nTy Marshall performs locally in southeastern Connecticut\, including appearances at area wineries and other live-music venues. \nHis smaller-scale singer-songwriter format makes a natural fit for Saltwater Farm\, where the music accompanies the evening rather than turning the vineyard into a traditional concert venue. \nMarshall performs from 5 to 7 p.m.\, leaving plenty of time to arrive\, get a glass of wine and settle in before the music starts. \nAbout Saltwater Farm Vineyard\nSaltwater Farm Vineyard occupies 108 acres along Wequetequock Cove in Stonington\, but grapes are only the latest chapter in the property’s unusually long history. \nThe land traces its agricultural roots to 1653\, when Walter Palmer established a farm on roughly 230 acres surrounding the cove. Portions of that original property continued operating as farmland into the early 20th century. \nThen airplanes arrived. \nDuring the late 1930s\, William J. Foster established a small community airport on the property called Foster Field\, also known as Westone Airport. A hangar was designed by Stonington architect and engineer John W. Lincoln\, who is credited with sharing in the development of the Quonset hut. \nThe federal government closed the airport to public use after the United States entered World War II. Flying returned after the war when Henry R. Palmer Jr. operated Aero-Marine Service there\, offering commercial flights and flight training. \nThat venture lasted only a few years. \nOver the following decades\, the old hangar was put to work as a warehouse\, restaurant and manufacturing facility before eventually falling into disuse. \nFrom Airfield to Vineyard\nMichael Connery purchased the dormant property in 2001 and began its transformation into Saltwater Farm Vineyard. \nRather than demolish the old airport infrastructure\, the project preserved it. \nThe vintage hangar was restored and converted into the winery\, retaining its enormous timber trusses and original wood sheathing while adding a milled-aluminum exterior and modern winemaking facilities. Even the grassy landing strip was retained as part of the property. \nThe result doesn’t look quite like any other winery in southeastern Connecticut. You can sit with a glass of wine beside rows of vines while looking toward a building that once housed airplanes. \nWine and the Coastal Setting\nSaltwater Farm is bordered by the tidal marshes of Wequetequock Cove\, giving the property a decidedly coastal character. \nThe vineyard produces small-batch wines influenced by southern New England’s maritime growing conditions\, with the property itself providing much of the experience during warmer months. \nFriday’s performance takes advantage of that setting. This isn’t a show where everyone faces a stage in rows of seats. It’s meant to be an evening at the vineyard with live music folded into it. \nArriving near the beginning of the 5-to-7 p.m. window also gives visitors the chance to see the property while there’s still plenty of daylight. \nEvent Details\nDate: Friday\, August 14\, 2026 \nTime: 5:00–7:00 p.m. \nPerformer: Ty Marshall \nLocation: Saltwater Farm Vineyard \nAddress: 349 Elm Street\, Stonington\, CT 06378 \nSetting: Vineyard and winery housed in a restored former airport hangar on a 108-acre property bordering Wequetequock Cove. \nImportant Notes: This is an early-evening vineyard performance. Check with Saltwater Farm Vineyard for current information regarding seating\, food availability and any weather-related changes. \nMore Information\nFor more information\, visit the event website using the Event Website link below. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Sing & Play with Bergin at La Grua Center
DESCRIPTION:Sing & Play with Bergin at La Grua Center brings an hour of interactive children’s music to the Stonington Commons Green on Friday\, August 21\, at 6 p.m. \nThe free outdoor concert is designed especially for young children and their families\, with Stonington singer-songwriter Bergin O’Malley leading an evening of original children’s songs\, familiar classics\, singing and movement. \nUPDATE: La Grua Center’s current event listing identifies O’Malley’s musical partner for this performance as Sarah Bruno\, rather than Melissa. The organization’s own calendar now calls the program Sing and Play with Bergin & Sarah. \nMusic Made for Kids to Join In\nThis isn’t intended to be a sit-still-and-listen children’s concert. \nO’Malley’s Sing & Play Together music is built around participation\, with songs touching on animals\, colors\, friendship\, family and the small things that occupy a much bigger place in a child’s world. Families are encouraged to sing\, move and play along during the performance. (La Grua Center) \nO’Malley has released two Sing and Play Together children’s albums\, with another children’s project in development. She has also released two solo albums\, Blink and Somebody\, reflecting a broader singer-songwriter career beyond her work for children. \nHer connection to Stonington runs deeper than simply performing here. After spending summers in Stonington throughout her life\, O’Malley made the town her year-round home in 2012. She’s also a photographer whose work has appeared in local exhibitions\, including shows at La Grua Center. \nFor local families\, some of the music may already be familiar. Her children’s songs have developed a following along the shoreline\, including a Stonington song that has become a local favorite. \nBring a Blanket to the Green\nThe concert takes place outside on the Stonington Commons Green\, directly adjacent to La Grua Center at 32 Water Street. \nFamilies should bring their own blankets or lawn chairs. Seating on the lawn opens at 5 p.m.\, an hour before the concert begins. Chairs aren’t provided. \nFamilies can also bring food and make an early-evening picnic out of the concert\, although outside alcohol isn’t permitted. Dogs aren’t allowed on the Green\, and restrooms will be available inside La Grua Center. \nThe performance runs approximately one hour without an intermission. \nLa Grua’s Summer Concerts on the Green\nThe performance is part of La Grua Center’s annual Concerts on the Green\, a five-concert outdoor series running from May through September. \nThe 2026 series ranges widely in style\, from jazz and international folk music to children’s songs. All five performances are free\, with major support provided by the Stonington Village Improvement Association. \nLa Grua Center itself has been part of Stonington Borough since 2008. The nonprofit cultural center occupies a renovated building formerly associated with the Atwood Machine Company and was created through a gift from longtime Stonington resident Winifred La Grua in memory of her husband\, Maurice. Today\, the center presents concerts\, exhibitions\, lectures and other community programs throughout the year. \nParking and Weather\nFree parking is available in the North Lot at Stonington Commons\, but spaces are limited. La Grua warns that parking in Stonington Borough can be difficult during the summer and encourages Borough residents to walk when possible. \nBecause this is an outdoor concert\, weather could affect the program. If conditions look unfavorable\, La Grua plans to make a decision by noon on Friday and post an update on its website. \nEvent Details\nEvent: Concerts on the Green: Sing and Play with Bergin & Sarah\nDate: Friday\, August 21\, 2026\nTime: 6–7 p.m.\nSeating Opens: 5 p.m.\nAdmission: Free\nLocation: La Grua Center Commons Green\nAddress: 32 Water Street\, Stonington\, CT 06378 \nBring a blanket or lawn chair. Families may bring food\, but outside alcohol and dogs aren’t permitted on the Green. \n
