Wally Lamb, the Oprah Book Club favorite and New York Times bestselling novelist steps off the page and onto the stage to discuss his writing with Rebecca Eaton, the PBS Masterpiece producer who brought "Downton Abbey" to America!

________________________________________________________________________


Wally Lamb is one of America’s most popular authors and an Oprah Winfrey favorite! 

He has written seven New York Times bestselling novels, three of which—She’s Come Undone, I Know This Much Is True, and his most recent novel The River Is Waiting—were Oprah’s Book Club picks. She’s Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True, his first two novels, were #1 New York Times bestsellers and NYT’s Notable Books of the Year. 

I Know This Much Is True, a family saga that follows the parallel lives of identical twin brothers in an epic story of betrayal, sacrifice, and forgiveness, was adopted for an HBO miniseries starring Mark Ruffalo in a dual role as twin brothers Dominick and Thomas Birdsey. Ruffalo’s performance won him a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Lamb’s other popular novels include I’ll Take You There, We Are Water, Wishin’ and Hopin’, and The Hour I First Believed. He also edited Couldn’t Keep It to Myself and I’ll Fly Away, two volumes of essays from students in his writing workshop at York Correctional Institution, a women’s prison in Connecticut, where he was a volunteer facilitator for twenty years.

Lamb taught English at Norwich Free Academy, where he created and directed the Connecticut school’s Writing Center. He also taught creative writing in the English Department at the University of Connecticut. Lamb lives in Connecticut with his wife, Christine, and they have three sons.

Wally Lamb always draws a crowd at his readings and author discussions. For his appearance at Vinegar Hill, he will be interviewed by Rebecca Eaton, executive producer of PBS’s popular Masterpiece for 35 years. 

Eaton took the helm of the PBS series Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery! in 1985 and later oversaw a highly successful relaunch of Masterpiece which attracted a new generation of viewers to a long string of hits highlighted by Downton Abbey, the most-watched drama in PBS history. She also brought American audiences the hits Victoria, Sherlock, and Poldark, as well as other high-profile titles such as Wolf Hall, Grantchester, Prime Suspect, Cranford, Little Dorrit, The Complete Jane Austen, and All Creatures Great and Small. 

Wally Lamb’s appearance is made possible with generous sponsorship support from the Burgess family, Kennebunk Savings, Partners Bank, Bergen Parkinson Attorneys, Robert & Marjorie Dennis, Vinegar Hill Music Theatre, Colony Hotel, Octopus Books, Louise Hurlbutt, and Mike Kelly. Donations and proceeds from this event support the essential programs and services provided free by Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library, whose mission is “to enrich the lives of all we serve.”

OLIVER WOOD

Monday, September 28, 2026 - 8:00 PM EDT

Reserved Seating: $25 - $30 Advance | $35 - $40 Door

Doors 7pm | Show 8pm

Whenever Oliver Wood isn't touring with The Wood Brothers — the Grammy-nominated roots trio that he co-founded in 2006 — he typically begins his mornings the same way: in Nashville, at home, with a coffee cup in his hand and a notebook in his lap.

"There's a chair in my living room, right in front of a window," he says. "Every morning, I go down there to drink my coffee, meditate, and write. It's like a therapy session for me, because I can write without any specific goal in mind. I can be creative without being self-judgmental.

Many of the songs from Fat Cat Silhouette, Wood's second solo record, began taking shape in that chair. Produced by his Wood Brothers’ bandmate Jano Rix, it's an album of unexpected twists and turns. Longtime fans will recognize the earnest, elastic voice that has always anchored the Wood Brothers' mix of forward-looking folk and southern country-funk, but Fat Cat Silhouette doesn't spend much time looking backward. Instead, it abandons convention, breaks a few rules, and positions Oliver Wood as a roots-music innovator who's every bit as interested in the process as the product. 

"I wanted to get outside my box and embrace the uncertainty of what's out there," he explains. "I wanted weird guitar tones. The song 'Yo I Surrender' has the worst guitar sound I've ever heard in my life, and I just love it. I wanted more percussion and less drums. Once we began experimenting and doing whatever we wanted, the pressure melted away and I felt liberated." 

On the album's opener, "Light and Sweet," Wood matches an imaginative storyline with a melody that leaps from ground level into the stratosphere. Eight songs later, he brings things to a close with "For-tune Drives the Bus," which he recorded on an iPhone in his own backyard. While tracking the rest of Fat Cat Silhouette to analog tape, Wood pushed himself to keep things weird. “Making this album was a process of being immediate, making quick decisions, and trusting that the universe and my years of experience would handle the rest,” explains Wood. 

Wood's years of experience have left him with a wide circle of collaborators, and Fat Cat Silhouette features performances from guests like Los Lobos' Steve Berlin (whose saxophone can be heard on the groove-heavy numbers "Whom I Adore” and “Yo I Surrender”), Ted Pecchio who handles bass duties throughout the collection and Marcus Henderson (who contributes flute and fife to “Whom I Adore”). Co-writers like Sean McConnell, Seth Walker, and Ric Robertson lend their help, too, while Katie Pruitt tackles a verse on the heartbroken soul ballad "Have You No Shame,” which was written by one of Wood’s mentors, the legendary Atlanta musician and songwriter Donnie McCormick. Jano Rix even pulls double-duty as producer and musician, anchoring the album's mix of mystery and melody with his percussion and keyboards. 

Despite the stacked guest list, some of Fat Cat Silhouette's best moments find Wood and Rix working together as a duo. On "Little Worries," Wood sketches a picture of a reflective morning in his armchair — a cat in the window, pancakes in the skillet, anxieties crossing and leaving his mind — over Rix's inventive pulse. "That song wasn't easy to finish," he remembers. "It required experimentation. Jano and I had to give ourselves permission to just be artists, rather than being a part of the music business." Later, when time constraints prevented them from adding horns to "Star in the Corner," they chose to sing the horn parts instead. "We innovated by stacking these ridiculous ohhhs and ooohs to create a faux choir sound," he explains. "It ended up being more original sounding than a horn sound, or at least a little less typical." 

A little less typical, indeed. That might as well be Fat Cat Silhouette’s mission statement. This is an al-bum that finds the art in the unexpected, and Oliver Wood — whose songwriting and vocal chops re-main as sharp as ever — at his most adventurous.

The Soggy Po Boys, native to New England, have quickly become an institution. They are spreading the good news of New Orleans music across the northeast and beyond, playing at concert halls and street corners; music festivals and burlesque festivals; bars and libraries; wherever the party requires. Part of the beauty of New Orleans music is that it's celebrated and appreciated wherever it goes, from the street to the theater.   

The Po Boys formed in 2012 to shake the walls of a local club on a Fat Tuesday but have honed their sound and become more than a Mardi Gras centerpiece. Exploring the vast musical traditions of New Orleans and expanding their repertoire to look beyond NOLA jazz, the band includes traditional Caribbean tunes (it’s been said that New Orleans is the northernmost city in the Caribbean), as well as Meters funk, soul, and brass band / street beat music. 

There are a myriad of traditions that flow into New Orleans culture just as there are tributaries that feed the Mississippi, and the Po Boys are eager to explore what makes the music of New Orleans so damn special. You’ll hear the heavy influence of the New Orleans sound across the band and in the stories told by their original tunes. In line with the scope of its sound, the outfit is eight people and thrives on the interplay and group dynamics that bring this music to life.

The Soggy Po Boys are:

Shaina Schwartz : Vocals

Jim Dozet : Vocals + Guitar

Eric Klaxton : Clarinet + Saxophones

Nick Mainella : Tenor Saxophone

Josh Gagnon : Trombone

Mike Effenberger : Piano

Scott Kiefner : Bass

Brian Waterhouse : Drums



The Soggy Po’ Boys will be joined by Max Chase & Friends. Max Chase is an American musician, singer, songwriter known for his exciting, spirited performances on the Hammond Organ. The established and in demand keyboardist and singer brings over twenty years of extensive live performance and session work together with an all-star band and a soulful blues-rock set in his latest project, Max Chase & Friends.

Max Chase & Friends are:

Mike Carter: Guitar

Barrett Goeman: Drums

Matt Lavigne: Bass

She will be joined on stage by her longtime guitarist, Gerry Leonard (of David Bowie fame), and cellist Stephanie Winters. 

FLYING WITH ANGELS REVIEWS 

"Suzanne Vega retains her knack for lucid reflections and crisp music to match... Her voice remains both knowing and observant.” - Rolling Stone

"Veteran Alt-rocker Suzanne Vega is still making great music... It's not an exaggeration to call her a straight-up legend." - Stereogum 

LIVE REVIEWS 2025 

"Vega’s performance was nothing short of mesmerizing, weaving tales through her soulful songs in a cozy setting that allowed for a deep connection with the audience." - Finding Connecticut 

"Suzanne Vega wove a spell of light and shadow, blending classics and new material with intimate stories for a memorable night.” - Patch 

ABOUT SUZANNE VEGA 

Widely regarded as one of the foremost songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk revival of the early 1980s. Accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, Vega sang what has been called contemporary folk or neo-folk songs of her own creation in Greenwich Village clubs. Since the release of her self-titled, critically acclaimed 1985 debut album, she has given sold-out concerts in many of the world’s best-known venues. Known for performances that convey deep emotion, Vega’s distinctive, “clear, unwavering voice” (Rolling Stone) has been described as “a cool, dry sandpaper-brushed near-whisper” by The Washington Post, with NPR Music noting that she “has been making vital, inventive music” throughout the course of her decades-long career. Bearing the stamp of a masterful storyteller who “observes the world with a clinically poetic eye” (The New York Times), Vega’s songs have tended to focus on city life, ordinary people and real-world subjects. Notably succinct and understated, her work is immediately recognizable—as utterly distinct and thoughtful as it was when her voice was first heard on the radio over 40 years ago.
