SUMMARY:Summer Music Series featuring "Catman Bill" Katz
DESCRIPTION:“Catman Bill” Katz grew up in Hartford in the 1950s and 1960s.  Within a few short years I purchased my first acoustic guitar and learned to play right-handed and I’m left-handed. He purchased his first acoustic guitar and learned to play right-handed (although left-handed) a few years after hearing a couple rehearsing across from his family’s home on lower Laurel Street. Bill was influenced by the folk music movement; Bob Dylan\, Dave Van Ronk\, Reverend Gary Davis\, Pete Seeger\, Mississippi John Hurt\, and on and on. Bill’s moved and inspired to write about events around him. \nConnecticut’s Old State House 2026 Summer Music Series \nEVERY FRIDAY | JUNE 5 – OCTOBER 2\, 2026 | 12:00 – 1:00 pm \nJoin us for our annual FREE Summer Concert Series!
