July 2nd: The Poet Sandwich
Come to Great Camp Sagamore for an evening of inspiring poetry betwixt two of the Northeast’s most talented musicians. Enjoy the smooth vocals of Adam Shenk as he and his piano keys bring a subtle sophistication, reminiscent of Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke, to the urban music scene. Then, sit back and take in the virtuosic poetry of the 2008 Women of the World Poetry Slam winner Andrea Gibson. "[She] does not just show up to pluck your heart strings. She sticks around to tune them. If being floored is new to you, ya might wanna grab a cushion.” –Buddy Wakefield. Then finish the evening with the promising young troubador, singer-songwriter Chris Pureka.
With songs like beautifully written short stories it is easy to see why Chris is “ such a gifted guitar player and singer that you have to listen to each song twice, once for her guitar playing and again for her passionate lyrics...” -Boston Globe

July 3rd: Patty Larkin, in Concert
Patty Larkin is part of the urban-folk/pop music phenomenon that spun off of the singer / songwriter explosion of the 70's, reinterpreting traditional folk melodies, rock, pop, bossa nova, drawing on anything from Dylan (Bob) to Dylan (Thomas). A self described “guitar driven songwriter,” Larkin has wound her way through sound-scapes of evocative vocals, inventive guitar wizardry and imaginative lyrics.
A truly remarkable artist, 2010 marks 25 years of recording amazing music for this folk legend and we know that you will truly enjoy this wonderful night of song at Great Camp Sagamore!

About Thatcher’s Island:
“Of the present private camps on Blue Mountain Lake, the one on Thatcher’s Island is the oldest. The original cabin was built in 1867. Intact except for the replacement of worn out logs, it is the front porch of the camp that now stands on the island. The rear part of the camp was added in 1879. The Thatcher’s continued as summer residents of the island for sixty-eight years.” Taken from Township 34 by Harold Hochschild
