He not only connects to his audience, the audience connects with each other. Bob performs with his on-stage and off-stage partner and creative collaborator, Shannon Plummer. All of their work is influenced, inspired, and integrated with Bob’s music as the foundation to create memories that will touch your heart. Together they amplify each other’s gifts into a divine combination that will lead the soul to truth and peace. Join us for an evening that promises to be a life-changing experience! Tickets $15 each.

Apr 10 Eating Animals – Film Screening

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette St., Havre de Grace. 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM How much do you know about the food that’s on your plate? Based on the bestselling book by Jonathan Safran Foer, narrated by co-producer Natalie Portman, and directed by Christopher Quinn (“God Grew Tired of Us”), “Eating Animals” is an urgent, eye-opening look at the environmental, economic, and public health consequences of factory farming. Tracing the history of food production in the United States, the film charts how farming has gone from local and sustainable to a corporate Frankenstein monster that offers cheap eggs, meat, and dairy at a steep cost: the exploitation of animals; the risky use of antibiotics and hormones; and the pollution of our air, soil, and water. Spotlighting farmers who have pushed backed against industrial agriculture with more humane practices, “Eating Animals” offers attainable, commonsense solutions to a growing crisis while making the case that ethical farming is not only an animal rights issue but one that affects every aspect of our lives. Presented as part of our ongoing Environmental Film Series, through the partnership of the Havre de Grace Green Team and Havre de Grace Maritime Museum. All film screenings are FREE to the public, and are held inside the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum’s main gallery. A discussion will follow the film. 410.939.4800 • hdggreenteam@gmail.com • hdgmaritimemuseum@verizon.net • http://www.hdggreenteam.org/.

Jun 12 Meet the Coywolf – Film Screening

Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, 100 Lafayette Street, Havre de Grace. 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM The coywolf, a mixture of western coyote and eastern wolf, is a remarkable new hybrid carnivore that is taking over territories once roamed by wolves and slipping unnoticed into our cities. Its appearance is very recent – within the last 90 years – in evolutionary terms, a blip in time. Beginning in Canada but by no means ending there, the story of how it came to be is an extraordinary tale of how quickly adaptation and evolution can occur, especially when humans interfere. Tag along as scientists study this new top predator, tracking it from the wilderness of Ontario’s Algonquin Park, through parking lots, alleys and backyards in Toronto all the way to the streets of New York City. Presented as part of our ongoing Environmental Film Series, through the partnership of the Havre de Grace Green Team and Havre de Grace Maritime Museum. All film screenings are FREE to the public, and are held inside the Havre de Grace Maritime Museum’s main gallery.
