Sundays at the Jesup Winter Concert Series: Guitarist Brian Kupiec

Description

Join guitarist Brian Kupiec for the first concert in Sundays at the Jesup Winter Concert series on Sunday, Jan. 12 at 2 p.m. at the Jesup Memorial Library. Kupiec, who hosts the longest continuously running musical event in Southwest Harbor, The Community Jam at Sips Café, will be playing some of his favorite songs. The music he will be playing will spans the decades and feature music from a variety of different genres.
 
Kupiec says that the concert will feature guitar work that will be heavy on fingerpicking, with the occasional flat-pick tune thrown in. He has been a performing musician for more than 30 years and his music blends folk, rock, ballads, roots and blues. He performs original arrangements of songs taken from a variety of genres, as well as his own original material. 
 
Kupiec began playing the guitar in the late 60's and his early influences include everything that was happening musically at the time. He relocated to MDI from Connecticut, seven years ago, after retiring from his day job as the Head of Technology and Digital Assets for The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. Since moving to MDI, he has performed at various venues around the island and has been a musical fixture on the Quietside for the past six years. The Community Jam, which he hosts, is in its sixth season as well.
 
There will be three other concerts in the Sundays at the Jesup Winter Concert Series including a St. Patrick’s Day-themed concert with The Crow’s Nest on Sunday, March 15 at 2 p.m.
 
This event is free and open to the public, though donations are appreciated. Doors to this event open at 1:30 p.m. For more information on this concert, contact the Jesup at 207-288-4245.
