CHIRP Concert: Willie Stratton

PLEASE NOTE: CHIRP CONCERTS BEGIN AT 7:00 PM!!

Willie Stratton – For more than a decade now, Canadian musician Willie Stratton has been building his good name on stellar sonic shape-shifting. The Halifax-based singer-songwriter has proven time and again that he can dive into any of rock ‘n’ roll’s various iterations—heartsick blues, twanged-up country, hip-shaking rockabilly, groovy surf, anything and everything in between—and emerge, again, as a maestro of the style. But on his new long-player, Stratton seeks synthesis: Drugstore Dreamin’ finds him playing alchemist, melting down the myriad sounds he’s mastered over the years to create singular sonic gold. As Stratton deftly weaves and mixes musical forms, Drugstore Dreamin’s intoxicating concoction brings his timeless songwriting to the forefront.

Concerts begin at 7p.m.

CHIRP will present free outdoor family concerts open to the public in Ridgefield’s Ballard Park every Tues. and Thurs. from Tues. June 6 through August 31, 2023

About CHIRP

CHIRP is an acronym for Concert Happenings in Ridgefield’s Parks and was begun in the summer of 2002 to foster a stronger sense of community among residents and to enhance Ridgefield’s much treasured “small town feel.” Its concerts seek to bring townspeople together in a relaxed atmosphere comfortable for people of every economic strata, age bracket and ethnicity. Its mission is to afford them the opportunity to hear and hopefully to enjoy a variety of world and alternative music only infrequently performed in this area.
