It can be traditional or contemporary with roots in bluegrass, country, jazz, gospel and blues. Our contestants will provide a range of music in the genre we call folk. Performing in this year’s potpourri are Bill Anderson, Mark Bishop Evans, John Ferullo, Kathleen Healy, Roberta Lamb, Rick Drost, Toast & Jam, and Wild Maple. Samples of their music can be found on their web and facebook pages. The evening will again be hosted by Wakefield singer/ songwriter Kirsten Manville, who will perform a few favorite songs from her album, Some People Sing, and introduce a few new ones. Manville creates songs that feel like they might have come straight from journal entries: deceptively simple lyrics that paint pictures, tell stories, and evoke a range of emotions. Manville is a refreshing, straightforward folk-rockcountry-singer-songwriter with stage presence audiences love. Entertainment will include a 25-minute set by one of last year’s winners, Peter Lehndorff. He writes folk and jazz songs about everyday life. Lehndorff is now mixing his humorous observations with the serious; the romantic with the eccentric. There are stories about cars, what he eats, and the places he has lived. His car-related songs have been on NPR’s Car Talk radio show. Besides winning last year’s Linden Tree Coffeehouse’s Winter Potpourri, Lehndorff has been a finalist in the Boston Acoustic Underground competition. The Springfield Union wrote about his performance, “intelligent lyrical vignettes of everyday life and the comical trappings of suburbia, delivered with an acute sense of comedic timing.” Bill Anderson is a former resident of Wakefield. Anderson has been playing music all his life, in bands and orchestras around the world. Trained as a classical oboist at the New England Conservatory as well as Boston University, 10 years ago, to achieve his ambition of performing the songs he’d always written, as a singer/songwriter, he attended song-writing conferences around the United States and workshopped with artists from John Gorka to Livingston Taylor to Kathy Mattea, constantly striving to put the truth and heart of the subject in his lyrics. His style is often described as telling a story, giving the listener a clear, mental picture of events and emotions common to us all. Julie Charland is one-half of the duo Toast and Jam. She is playing solo this evening, and writes and performs origiCONCERT | SEE PAGE 7 Saugus Police Department offers tips to prevent holiday package theft W ith the holiday shopping season officially here, Interim Police Chief RonLawrence A.

Additional holiday shopping safety tips Chief Giorgetti would also like to offer tips to holiday shoppers on how to avoid any incidents or theft while shopping in stores and online: • As more people are on the road during the holiday season, be sure to drive carefully. Be patient when looking for a parking space. Don’t speed up in a parking lot to catch an empty spot. Look for other cars or people when backing out of a parking space, and back out slowly. • Keep shopping bags out of plain sight in your vehicle, preferably in your trunk. • Keep your purse close to your body or your wallet in an inside coat pocket or front pants pocket. • Save your receipts and monitor your credit card activity. • When shopping online, stick to retailers you know or have shopped with before. • Don’t use public Wi-Fi to make purchases so you can prevent hackers from intercepting your information. The men and women of the Saugus Police Department wish everyone a safe and healthy holiday season.
