Free Concert May 27, 1 pm at West Springfield Public Library

West Springfield Public Library presents Whisper Not, a concert of songs that tell an intriguing story, performed by Sarah Clay & the StarCats. Is it true history or tall tale? Protest or praise? Love song or kiss-off? Social justice or social call? Come and decide for yourself.  

Vocalist/flutist Sarah Clay leads the StarCats, a delightfully eclectic jazz trio with guitarist Draa Hobbs, and bassist Steve Bulmer. Their repertoire intertwines standards, Latin jazz, and retro-pop songs from the likes of Soundgarden, Oregon, Sara Bareilles, Joni Mitchell, Electric Light Orchestra and Stevie Wonder that have been reimagined for this intimate instrumentation. 

The StarCats have been performing throughout New England for many years to a wide variety of audiences. They specialize in presenting well-thought-out, themed concert programs. The StarCats name was inspired by their first tour, Moon & Stars.

Whisper Not is a free 75-minute concert, open to the public. It is supported in part by a grant from the West Springfield Arts Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

The West Springfield Public Library is located at 200 Park Street. For more info, visit the West Springfield Public Library Adult Services desk or call (413) 736-4561 x3
