Founded in 2013, Filling in the Blanks is an organization that fills weekend gaps by providing each child in its program with a bag of healthy, easy-to-prepare food for the weekend. When the obstacle of food insecurity is removed, children experience improved academic achievement and greater opportunities for success in their lives. FITB continuously serves 10,000+ kids at over 200 sites throughout Fairfield, Westchester, and Putnam counties. FITB has also established four in-school pantries and, in 2023, launched the Fresh Food On The Move mobile pantry, which provides families with fresh produce, veggies, proteins, and other staples, as well as health and wellness services.

Sunday Brunch with Peter Janson
2026-08-30 12:00 - 14:00 | Jazz on Main, 37 South Moger Avenue, Mount Kisco, NY, 10549, United States
Guitarist Peter Janson lives in Boston, Massachusetts, and has been forging his path as an independent solo guitarist since 1999. Building what he considers a meaningful life, Peter’s music events are an important part of that: he performs concerts and tours regularly, founded his own Eastern Woods Music label, gives guitar workshops, and directs jazz ensembles and private guitar lessons at the University of Massachusetts Boston. There aren’t many jazz guitarists today focusing exclusively on solo guitar, but for Janson, playing solo jazz guitar is both his passion and love – he is inspired by the solo guitar works of players like Pat Metheny, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and Wolfgang Muthspiel, as well as jazz legends such as Joe Pass, Earl Klugh, and Jim Hall. Now gaining international recognition, Peter signed worldwide sub-publishing deals with STOMP Music Korea and UK-based SUPREME SONGS Limited in October 2022.
Growing up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Peter listened to his father, an accomplished amateur guitarist, play solo guitar every day. Given his first guitar at the age of 7, Peter started playing pop gigs at 15. For the last twenty-five years, he has performed extensively throughout North America; most notably at Carnegie Hall and the Montreal Jazz Festival. His music has been placed in video games, commercials, and news documentaries, charted on Billboard for 11 weeks in the top 10 (as a session guitarist), and has a growing fan base across 137 countries. His latest recording, Getting To Here, is in rotation on over 75 radio stations globally, as well as on streaming formats.
“As a musician, I have continued to grow through the exploration of numerous genres. After many years, jazz form, language, and sensibility have returned to become the place where I can make music. I didn’t want too formal a structure to work on, but rather an improvisational base. There is a need for me to work as a solo guitarist, exploring styles and improvising. It gives me joy and helps me understand life in a way nothing else does. I embrace traditional elements, acoustic nylon-string sounds, and form, and merge them with sound-enhancing tools and chance. I see no important difference between genres, just as I see no difference between making music and the everyday aspects of life. Performing music, reading a novel or poetry while sipping a cup of coffee, teaching a student, they are all related.”
