BATH — The perfect combination of creative energy will meet on Friday, Nov. 15, at the Chocolate Church Arts Center, 804 Washington Street, with the opening reception for the Holiday Small Wonders art exhibit and the next in the series of the 3rd Friday Concerts featuring Robby Simpson and The Thunderbirds.

Robby Simpson and the Thunderbirds will headline with opening performances by Lisa Redfern, who is an award winning singer-songwriter who blends her roots in folk, bluegrass, country, gospel, blues, and swing to create something unmistakably her own, and by Aaron Nadeau who combines masterful guitar with his own blend of poetic lyrics, a surprise coming from such a young talent.
