Jen Clapp at the Westport Grange

 July 30 at 8:00 PM. The Westport Grange is located at 931 Main Road in central village.  Tickets at the door for $10.00.
Call 508-636-4427 for more information.
All proceeds will benefit the Westport Grange Scholarship Fund. The Grange Cafe will be open with beverages and home baked

Jen Clapp has been touring the northeast region of the United States in support of her new CD. Copies will be available at the concert.
 Currently Jen lives in New York’s Hudson Valley where she regularly performs in concert and at Farmers Markets.
Songs from the CD are receiving play on many radio stations as well as on internet radio. Jen was a featured artist for a 2-part interview with Sara LaDuke on Performance Place, WAMC - Northeast Public Radio. She was also featured on Laney Goodman’s Women on Air program and an interview with Jen appears in Indie Sounds NY issue 39. More information at jenclapp.com and music available on iTunes.
While living in New York city in the early 1990’s she was a founding member of the alternative folk- soul band Native Tongue. The band was a fixture in the downtown New York acoustic scene with a weekly gig at the Cafe Sin-e on St. Marks Place. A highlight was singing with Sinead O’Connor.
Clapp sounds comfortable and confident, equally at ease in moodier numbers as she is with those that shimmy and shake.

What is "The Grange?" The Grange is the nation's oldest national agricultural organization, with grassroots units established in 3,600 local communities in 37 states.  Its 300,000 members provide service to agriculture and rural areas on a wide variety of issues, including economic development, education, family endeavors, and legislation designed to assure a strong and viable Rural America. It was formed in the years following the American Civil War to unite private citizens in improving the economic and social position of the nation's farm population.   Over the past 142 years, it has evolved to include non-farm rural families and communities.

The fellowship, recreation and social activities in the Grange are developed with the family in mind – children and senior citizens alike are very welcome in the Grange. Competitions in music, art, public speaking, crafts, and a whole variety of other activities are an important part of every Grange’s agenda. Courtesy of MassGrange.org
