SAXTONS RIVER — Main Street Arts (MSA) is proud to present Northampton, Mass., musical artist Carrie Ferguson with The Grumpytime Club trio in an outdoor concert in Saxtons River on Sunday, June 26, at 6 p.m.
Ferguson describes her original music for children and their parents as “creative, positive, upbeat, and catchy as cake!” She says her recent album, The Grumpytime Club, offers children and families welcoming and inclusive messages about accepting feelings, celebrating differences, and loving themselves exactly as they are.
