CarLean, Jim Carpenter celebrate new albums at O'Neill Theater Center
Jim Carpenter could have a fine career as a juggler.
How else to explain the singer/songwriter/producer's dexterity as he effortlessly manages to excel in so many musical capacities?
Consider Saturday's "Cabin Fever" concert in the Rose Barn Theater at Waterford's Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. The CarLeans headline the festivities with a release party for their new and delectable "Drowning Moon" CD. The band features vocalist/guitarist Sarah MacLean and bassist Corina Malbaurn as well as Carpenter — and he co-wrote the material with MacLean and also produced the record.
After the CarLeans perform their album, The Hoolios, Carpenter's ace Americana band, will take the stage for a dance party — performing faves from their catalog as well as stunning material from Carpenter's latest solo album, "Poor Girl's Dream."
If all this wasn't properly seductive, it's important to note that the evening also kicks off from 6-7 p.m. with a beer-tasting from the Revival Brewing Company.
CarLeans CD release party, 6 p.m. Saturday, Rose Barn Theater, Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, 305 Great Neck Road, Waterford; $10; all ages; thecarleans.com.
