Coming back from Figment last weekend, two "Planetary Dancers" were excited about this afternoon's concert with legendary folk-pop singer/songwriter Janis Ian. Of course, since my folk leanings are more towards Meg Biard or the Wood Brothers, I knew very little about Ms. Ian, "a Grammy-award winning performer [who] hit it big in 1975 with her single 'At Seventeen', a bittersweet commentary on adolescent cruelty and teenage angst. In her 40-year history, this Grammy award-winning performer’s music continues to reflect and transcend the challenges of our times." Time to get schooled this afternoon. Free ferry info below. All Ages.
Colonel’s Row, Governor’s Island. Free ferry service available every hour, on the hour, starting at 10 a.m. from the Battery Maritime Building in lower Manhattan, adjacent to the Staten Island Ferry.
