FIRST THURSDAYS @ the Athenaeum Lunchtime Concert with Jon Berman (saxophone and acoustic guitar)
11:30 AM - 1:00 PM

 We are very pleased to welcome back saxophonist and acoustic guitarist Jon Berman to the Westfield Athenaeum’s lunchtime concert series! Berman, who lives in Blandford, has been playing saxophone for over 20 years. After studying jazz in college, he continued on to perform with many popular musical acts. His experience covers everything from intimate venues to large arenas including major label artists and a Dave Matthews Tribute band. Now, he brings his style of saxophone to songs we all know – but with an interesting twist. Minus a band, he’s been taking to the road with his horn (and recently, with his guitar) and sharing a sound you’ll be sure to remember.
 Berman’s performances are drawing comparisons to violinist David Garrett, with his tendency to unveil unexpected cover songs from bands such as Pearl Jam and Sublime – in addition to songs from his CD release of “Another Side” in Spring 2011. He counts current chart toppers John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, and Jack Johnson as musical influences on equal footing with jazz masters Stan Getz and Joshua Redman.
 
Have your lunch with us.  Bring your own or purchase it here. Soup’s On, located at 16 Union St. in Westfield (inside the Pilgrim Candle building),  will offer yogurt parfaits, a variety of salads, fruit cups, a variety of sandwiches (both deli and grilled panini), two kinds of homemade soups, and a variety of desserts. Hot and cold beverages will also be available.

FIRST THURSDAYS @ the Athenaeum Lunchtime Concert with Peter Biedermann (Jazz guitar)
11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
 
Acoustic guitarist Peter Biedermann, from Butler, New Jersey, has been playing guitar, composing and performing live since 1977. He has also played numerous styles of music in various bands, most notably the band PING. PING started out as an instrumental guitar duo with Ian Smit in 1984. The idea then, as it is now, was to combine acoustic and electronic elements and create electro-acoustic soundscapes originally developed by the likes of Robert Fripp, Brian Eno, Jon Hassell, David Torn and many other lesser known pioneers of ambient musical sound structures. Beginning in the summer of 2000, Biedermann’s focus shifted to writing, performing and recording solo guitar pieces; many incorporating a hybrid style combining fingerstyle acoustic via six and twelve string guitars with electronic ambient soundscapes in real time. Three recordings highlighting this phase of development are documented on Sound & Spirit (2000), In Theory (2001) and The Learning Curve (2001).
A transition to solo acoustic playing became the focus in 2008 and continues today.
