On Friday, July 29 beginning at 6:00 p.m., the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is hosting Captain Andrew McCown and Warren Preston “Pres” Harding for a concert to celebrate the Chesapeake Bay through stories and songs. Seating is limited, with advanced reservations needed.
McCown, a native of Kent County and the Chester River, brings the lore of the Eastern Shore to life with stories, poetry and song. He is joined by accomplished guitarist Warren Preston“Pres” Harding—grandson of famed Wingate boatbuilder Bronza Parks—who will share his experiences growing up in the watermen’s community. Together, through simple folk tunes and harmonies, McCown and Harding will pay musical tribute to the Chesapeake byways they call home.
The concert takes place in CBMM’s Van Lennep Auditorium along the shoreline of Fogg’s Cove. The cost is $12 for CBMM members and $20 for non-members. To reserve seats, contact Allison Speight at 410-745-4941 or [email protected].
