EC-CHAP Acoustic Artist Series: Nina Romanenko AND Horizon Blue

Location: The Packing House

Address: 156 River Road, Willington, CT 06279

Date: 11 May

SPECIAL NOTE: Nina Romanenko originally performed with her band at our monthly Talent Showcase where she clearly displayed exceptional vocal and songwriting talent! She has continued to support EC-CHAP through her Membership, and played a critical role in sustaining our existence during the COVID pandemic through her participation, compassion, collaboration and leadership in our “Virtual Talent Showcase” offering. As a result, she was presented with the “Special Person Award” at the EC-HAP 2022 Annual Meeting.

Horizon Blue was one of the first acoustic bands to perform at The Packing House in 2017. Not only are these folks accomplished musicians, they are outstanding human beings with big hearts. They were invited to be our opening band for a major 2019 Benefit concert with Tom Rush and Matt Nakoa at The Packing House, and remain in a special place in our evolving history.

We welcome these outstanding musicians back to The Packing House stage!

NINA ROMANENKO is a CT singer, songwriter and guitarist who loves working with and performing for people of all ages. She's a former Therapeutic Recreation Director and voice major - who provides Therapeutic Music Programs at Healthcare Facilities to bring smiles, laughter, peace and comfort. She also performs at cultural events and venues where she enjoys engaging audiences with songs that are fun and spirited - as well as those of meaning, history and social conscience.

HORIZON BLUE captures the essence of California folk/country music and the singer songwriter. Their music is a harmonic eclectic blend with lush, acoustic arrangements. Horizon Blue’s sound features a variety of unique instruments including: lap steel guitar, resophonic guitar, mountain dulcimer, banjo, McNally “Strum Stick” and handcrafted Connecticut made Ovation guitars.
