Family concert set for Fort Halifax in Winslow July 7

WINSLOW — Matt Loosigian of Earth Jams, a Woolwich-based folk singer, guitarist and songwriter specializing in playful, funny songs about ecology and being green, will perform at 10 a.m. Saturday July 7, at Fort Halifax Park, U.S. Route 201.

The interactive show is sponsored by the Winslow Public Library as part of its summer reading program.
Loosigian has the ability to capture and keep the attention of children from babies through elementary ages, according to organizers.
Participants are encouraged to sing, play, and dance along with the performance.
“I believe that every child has a seed of music inside,” he said. “If we nurture those seeds by teaching them to exercise their musical muscles from a young age they will blossom into enthusiastic musical beings. I demonstrate how easy and fun it is to make your own music.”
Loosigian has performed throughout New England for 13 years, including at school assemblies, family concerts and leads workshops for teachers. In 2009, he released a solo album, “Hungry for the Sun,” that received a Kids Music Award, with songs about ecology and being green. Loosigian also teaches “Music Together” classes in Brunswick and Bath.
