Join us for the Annual Lighthouse Gala on Saturday, April
28, 2012…an evening celebration, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Four Points
by Sheraton’s Billingsgate Ballroom on beautiful Cape Cod, featuring:
A
Lively Performance by Neptune’s Car… comprised of singer/songwriter
Holly Hanson and guitarist/songwriter Steve Hayes and named after one of
America’s most heroic tales of the sea. In 1856, nineteen-year-old Mary
Patten safely navigated the clipper ship Neptune’s Car around Cape Horn
after her husband, the captain, became ill at sea.

Steve Hayes and Holly Hanson
Holly
and Steve blended their lyrical and musical sensibilities together on their
debut album Strawberry Moon, which reached #4 on the folk music
charts. Maverick magazine called the album "A beautiful blend of
country and folk from a talented new duo." The album includes several songs
that relate to the ocean ("Lighthouse Keeper," "Ocean-Born Mary," and
"The Charm"), as well as a variety of other genres. The song
"Lighthouse Keeper" climbed to #1 on the folk music charts, and the
official music video for the song was shot on location at Portsmouth Harbor
Lighthouse.
