Neva Small brings big talent to Ivoryton. On Monday, August 15 from 7:00pm, Neva Small will be performing “Songs Inspired by Connecticut”. Neva writes:
“Have you ever thought about all of the songs inspired by Connecticut? This cabaret evening will feature familiar songs whose writers have some connection to the state. Lorenz Hart, Richard Rogers, Jerry Bock, Irving Berlin, and many many more. The music will be brought to you by musicians who all have New England roots. Neva Small, Steve Silverstein, Dan Stein, and guest artist Daryl Sherman.”
