"Song of the Week" SWAN Day CT ~ Good Ones by: Laura Ganci

In Celebration of SWAN Day CT. Sat Mar. 26, 2011

"Song of the Week"
for 03-23-11 is:
Good Ones* by: Laura Ganci

Four years ago, when Jennifer Hill organized the 1st SWAN Day CT, which was held in New London, CT, I was not able to attend due to scheduling conflicts. I also wasn't sure how it would go over, a one night mix of multiple arts presented in a, what almost seemed like, carnival atmosphere. I derived that analogy based only on the description provided in the press release. Yet, when Jen continued SWAN Day, CT the next 2 years in Hartford, CT and I was able to attend both, and I found the mixture to work much better than I anticipated.

Now moving the event to The East Hartford Community Cultural Center 

50 Chapman place, East Hartford, CT, the press release once again describes it as such: 

"If you think this show is your run of the mill art show, prepare to be pleasantly surprised by the eclectic mix of talent this event has to offer. 7 bands will be rocking the house, all female fronted and from jazz to rock to pop to funk etc.
 

Besides music, Artists, of the “art” kind, will be setting up mini galleries to show and sell their work. The Art category touches on all genres from photography to paint, film, mixed media etc.
 

There will also be the art of dance as well as the art of costume design, with several artists performing burlesque routines.

This event is truly more Lollapalooza than Lilith Fair and not a place reserved for just women. The bands, art, and dancers appeal to both sexes and you will find both genders having a blast checking out all the different things going on."

Not only that, but you'll come away with a few new favorite artists that you might never have even realized existed before. That alone is worth the price of admission for the evening. 

At 4, SWAN Day CT is already an adult among the many Festivals that come and go, but it is still Jennifer Hill's baby that she has and will continue to nourish, along with the help of those who enjoy supporting the arts as well as the women who create them.
