Risa Finkel: Grist for the Mill at Lefferts Tide Mill

Risa Finkel returns to the great outdoors of Long Island to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation in her new show Grist for the Mill, June 12, 13, and 14. With arrangements and musical direction by Paul Greenwood and Michael Rice, Rex Benincasa on drums, Ritt Henn on bass, and Mike Rosengarten on guitar, banjo, and mandolin, the show is directed by Geoff Stoner, with technical direction by Kelly Wohlford. Creative consultant is David Friedman.

Finkel will offer an eclectic program of songs, both familiar and new, combined with stories and humor, that celebrate freedom, family, love, opportunity and community. Before and after the show, there will be a gathering with light fare and beverages. Proceeds will benefit the preservation of the Lefferts Tide Mill, the nation’s best preserved 18th century tidal gristmill, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
