If you thought watching an eclipse on The Common with the Lynnfield Library was fun, wait until you see what we have coming next! The library’s summer reading program doesn’t start until June, but we’re hoping that on May 22nd you’ll join us to start the summer vibes with a concert on the Common!
On Wednesday evening, May 22nd, longtime New England musician/author Matt York will perform the songs of Johnny Cash and tell stories about Cash’s career spanning from the 1950’s to his passing in 2003. He’ll discuss Cash’s emergence as a groundbreaking artist in the 1950’s, his marriage to June Carter and many of his other career highlights.
In both 2022 and 2023, York was nominated for the Boston Music Award for Best Country Artist and his album Gently Used was named one of Worcester Magazine’s best albums of 2022. In case of inclement weather this concert will be held in the Lynnfield Meeting House. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Lynnfield Local Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
