Join the Jacksonville Public Library in welcoming the latest performer to the Music Under the Dome series at the library: Singer/songwriter Kevin Aldrich will be performing on December 14^th.

Meter, rhyme, imagery, sensual language, and ideas are basic to both poetry and lyrics. This performance will explore parallels in the English folk tradition exemplified by the centuries’-old “Scarborough Fair” and Bob Dylan’s modern rendition “The Girl from the North Country”; delve into the art song with original settings of the iconic poems “The Lake Isle of Innisfree,” by Yeats, Dickinson’s “Wild Nights!” and Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”; and discuss and demonstrate the lyrical and musical process of writing original songs.

Singer/songwriter Kevin Aldrich is a veteran English teacher, novelist, and screenwriter who performs professionally in Central Illinois.

Event will take place on Sunday, December 14^th at 4pm at the Jacksonville Public Library.
