“Truly Bizarre” Service - New London Day September Entertainment Saturday - 17 - Maria Sangiolo & Jim Henry Maria Sangiolo has been writing and performing for children and their families for the past ten years. A two-time Parents’ Choice award- winning artist, recipient of a grant from the CT Commission on Culture and Tourism and one from the Iguana Fund “A greenhouse that makes you go Wow!” - Eileen Jessurun from Club Passim in Cambridge, Maria paints with her pen and her voice. Whether it’s under the moon “The greatest composer does not sit down to work singing a lullaby, in the garden building houses for because he is inspired, but becomes inspired because he fairies, by the sea watching dolphins diving or down is working.” - Ernest Newman on the farm growing and eating veggies, Sangiolo challenges us to be our very best and be stewards of the planet at the same time. Born and raised in MA, Maria has been singing since she first heard the “angel of music,” as a little girl riding in the back seat of her parents’ blue Chevy wagon. Maria began songwriting while still in college. Her musical career has spanned two decades, enriching her fans lives with her original & interpreted music. Maria’s songs are honest, joyful, and earth-centered, all sung from her young-at-heart muse. There are only a few musicians who make you won- der if it’s really as easy as it looks. Who make you crane your neck to see how many people are up on stage because you can’t believe all the sounds and textures emanating from one place. Who you feel compelled to seek out and thank after the show, because you were absolutely transported by their contributions. This is how people feel after hearing Jim Henry play. His longtime reputation as a phe- nomenal all-around musician is well-deserved. He can do it all: play most things stringed, sing lead or harmony, write great songs, produce, engineer and arrange. Four solo recordings and literally hundreds of tracks on other people’s recordings have cemented his position as one of the most versatile and talented musicians working in acoustic music today. “Act the way you’d like to be and soon you’ll be the way Saturday - 24 - Slo-Grass you act.” - George W.
