2024 CPL Eclipse Celebration: Outdoor Music at Main! (Main)

Main Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138

As we gather to view the eclipse, musician Dan Walker performs original songs outside the Main Branch in Joan Lorentz Park. Dance and celebrate our first outdoor performance of the season, and get ready for the eclipse with neighbors and friends! Note: in the event of inclement weather, this performance will take place inside the Lecture Hall. About the musician: Drawing from folk, blues, and R&B influences, Dan Walker crafts songs that resonate with audiences on a deeply emotional level. His lyrics weave tales of love, loss, and the intricacies of life, while his melodies carry the listener on a nostalgic trip through time.
