American Roots

Quimper Grange will welcome Mollie O’Brien and Rich Moore, who will perform American Roots music with vocals and guitar.

During the past 30 years, the duo have made it their mission to “unlock the secrets of the diverse array of styles that comprise the canon of American Roots music,” according to event organizer Chris Stuart in a press release. “They are unafraid of risk taking, authoritative in their performance and at the very top of their game. And to top it all off, they’re fun.”

The event will take place at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 23 at the Quimper Grange, located at 1219 Corona St. Suggested donation is $15 to $20.

Parenting know-how

Bonnie J. Rough, author of “Beyond Birds and Bees: Bringing Home a New Message to Our Kids about Sex, Love, and Equality,” and KJ Dell'Antonia, author of “How to Be a Happier Parent: Raising a Family, Having a Life, and Loving (Almost) Every Minute,” will be the two featured writers for Imprint Books and Writers' Workshoppe.

The duo will lead a conversation about how to stay sane and have fun while going through different aspects of parenting.

The event will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 19 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Imprint Books, 820 Water St.

Paul Rogers and the Swingin’ Humannequins will help kick off the first Discovery Dance of the season Sept. 21.
