Original acoustic music that brings a dramatic dimension to New Jersey is on the bill when the Tuckerton branch of the Ocean County Library presents Valerie Vaughn, “New Jersey’s Troubadour,” on Monday, March 20 at 6:30 p.m.

Vaughn has performed throughout New Jersey in a distinguished career. Her evocative songs earned the Ocean County Commission’s Special Award, and also the Pine Barrens Festival Award for preserving “the culture, heritage, and natural beauty” of the Pinelands.
