SUMMARY:GA-20 and Black Joe Lewis
DESCRIPTION:GA-20 and Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears are rolling into De La Luz with a double dose of gritty blues\, blazing soul\, and untamed energy. These two electrifying acts are known for tearing up stages across the country—and now it’s our turn. Mark your calendars\, grab your crew\, and get those tickets before they vanish. This ain’t your average Tuesday night. Raw\, soulful\, and unapologetically analog—GA-20 is the blues revival you didn’t know you needed. Their stripped-down sound and high-octane performances have earned them a loyal following and critical acclaim. \nBlack Joe Lewis brings the fire with his signature blend of blues\, soul\, and funk. Drawing comparisons to legends like James Brown and Howlin’ Wolf\, their live show is a full-throttle experience. \nDoors and cafe open at 6:00\, show at 7:00.

SUMMARY:Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen
DESCRIPTION:Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen roll into Holyoke fresh off their latest release\, The Bywater Sessions(April 25\, 2025)\, an album that captures the raw\, live-together energy of New Orleans funk and R&B. In it\, Cleary expands his sonic palette—horns\, extra keyboards\, guitar\, vibrant percussion—while grounding the sound in deep tradition. As Cleary puts it\, “We set out to capture that sound in the old-fashioned way: everybody in the room\, playing together.” Songs like “So Damn Good” and “Uptown Downtown” show both reverence for the Crescent City’s roots and a willingness to push the grooves into fresher territory. \nAt De La Luz Soundstage\, the show promises more than just incredible music—it’ll be a full sensory experience. Your ears will get the pungent bite of bluesy piano solos\, the warm blow of horns\, and drums that pulse like a second-line parade. The Absolute Monster Gentlemen are more than a backing band—they’re a congregation of New Orleans’ finest players who’ve learned the craft “at the feet of the masters.” Expect old favorites alongside surprises: they’ve been known to dip into classic tunes from Lee Dorsey and Professor Longhair woven in with their own funk-drenched originals. \nAnd because music this soulful deserves food to match\, Chef Sara Barnes is preparing a special New Orleans–inspired menu for the night. Having lived and cooked in the Crescent City for over a decade\, Sara brings the flavors of her adopted hometown straight to the plate. Think shrimp Creole and red beans with andouille\, crisp okra fritters\, and a sweet finish like Bananas Foster or pecan praline beignets. Just like Cleary’s music\, it’s a celebration of heritage and innovation—a night of groove\, flavor\, and community. \nDoors and cafe open at 6:00\, show at 7:00.

SUMMARY:Madison McFerrin
DESCRIPTION:Independent artist and musician Madison McFerrin has come into her own. The daughter of legendary vocalist Bobby McFerrin\, Madison’s distinct vocal and meticulously layered stylings of a capella and self-harmonizing culminate in work that blends the genres of R&B\, pop\, soul and jazz\, all with a sense of softness. Her genre-bending work has led to Questlove dubbing her early sound “soul-appella\,” AdHoc to describe her work as “an oasis of serenity\,” and The FADER noting how Madison’s “warm harmonies feel effortless.” \nThe throughline of Madison’s work is independence and she is often looking towards a kind of inner liberation. Whether she is writing about understanding one’s intuition and inner beauty or the cyclical violence of anti-Blackness and sexism\, Madison explores how to get free and how to care for oneself along the way. \nIn this\, Madison works at the intersection of artistry and community building. She often looks back and honors a Black music canon while creating her own unique style\, utilizing her voice as a central instrument and drawing upon lifelong inspirations like Stevie Wonder\, Aretha Franklin\, Erykah Badu\, Pharell\, Missy Elliot\, and the Spice Girls. She is in community with other artists\, cultural workers\, and activists\, and has been able to prioritize the work of women and POC in her curatorial tenures at venues like C’mon Everybody\, the WNYC Greene Space and the BRIC Jazz festival. The result of Madison’s work is an enduring commitment to finding ways to think better\, express ourselves honestly\, and nurture a sense of possibility. \nDoors and cafe open at 6:00\, show at 7:00.

SUMMARY:Magic For Maddie
DESCRIPTION:The Magic For Maddie event is on October 18th\, 2025 at Ashley Reservoir / Holyoke Elks.\nJoin us to celebrate and honor Maddie as well as raise funds to fuel research for pediatric brain cancer and support local families in the fight. \nMagic For Maddie is a 501c3 organization that was created in honor of Maddie Schmidt.  After a 10 month heroic battle\, Madeline O’Hare Schmidt gained her angel wings on Saturday\, December 31\, 2022. Maddie was born on October 14\, 2014\, the beautiful baby girl to Gregory Michael Schmidt & Nora Christine (O’Hare) Schmidt of Southampton\, MA. Completing her family\, she joined the best two big brothers William Roy & Patrick John. During her far too short time in this world\, Maddie inspired all who were lucky enough to know her with her kind heart. She was often silly\, at times sassy\, smart\, compassionate\, generous and simply the happiest and bravest little girl. As the youngest sister and cousin on both sides\, Maddie was incredibly wise beyond her years and brought her one of a kind charm and grace to everything she did. Maddie loved playing soccer\, gymnastics and softball and would be the first to tell you how she was voted President of her Kindergarten class at the William E. Norris School. She loved riding her bike\, scooter and skateboard around the neighborhood\, swimming\, tik-tok-ing\, slime & art projects\, often surprising those she loved with her beautiful works of art. She also loved games\, although you had to watch her closely because at times she could be found sneaking a card or two up her sleeve. She was known for giving the best hugs that would always make any day all the brighter. Maddie had so much fun traveling to Marco Island and Disney World with her entire family\, including the trip of a lifetime after she was diagnosed. Most of all\, Maddie loved spending time with her family at Lake Sunapee. In the winters she would bomb down the ski hills and splash in the hot tub. Summers were spent tubing\, knee boarding\, paddle boarding\, jumping off the dock\, fishing\, chasing sunsets and notoriously watching her own fireworks shows that seemed to get bigger each year. It was at Lake Sunapee that Maddie completed her first 5K and inspired the idea behind Magic for Maddie. Maddie’s family will be forever grateful for the community that rallied behind Maddie at this event and throughout her fight against DIPG\, a rare form of pediatric brain cancer. \n

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - Identity in Ink: The Art of Tattooing
DESCRIPTION:Wistariahurst Museum is thrilled to announce our upcoming exhibit this October\, Identity in Ink: The Art of Tattooing. Despite its more modern surge in interest\, the art of tattooing is one of the ancient traditions in human history. Etching pictures and symbols into skin has been around for thousands of years and has held countless meanings throughout different cultures and times. Greeks\, ancient nomads\, ancient Egyptians\, Indigenous peoples\, and many other communities have utilized tattoos to highlight their identity. Some are still rooted in tradition and rituals\, but tattoos have evolved into powerful symbols of self-expression\, storytelling\, and identity. \nTattoo artists or apprentices from all backgrounds submitted work that is shaped by heritage\, lived experiences\, and personal history. From tattooed skin to art pieces\, these works draw on traditional methods\, incorporate powerful symbolism\, or push boundaries with modern design. Artists featured in this exhibit are Caitlyn Abdow\, Jennifer Broy-Peters\, Kenzie Lee\, Kevin Stiles\, Kire Franklin\, Mo Jiwun\, Soul L\, and more! You will see photos of their work as a career artist\, but also their artistry outside of that medium. \nIdentity in Ink: The Art of Tattooing will run from October 7th to November 11th\, 2025. Open gallery hours for this exhibit will be on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30pm-6:30pm). These gallery hours are open and free to the public\, so that all of our community members can stop by to explore this exhibit\, discover unique artistry\, and engage with educational information surrounding the history of tattoos.

SUMMARY:Silent Presence: The French in New England
DESCRIPTION:Do you have Franco American heritage of Québec or Acadien (Maritime Provinces) origin? Join Jeanne Douillard as she presents a unique approach to a relatively unknown tale. In her talk\, “Silent Presence The French in New England\,” she weaves together her personal narrative with the historical story\, attempting in its essence to get at the heart of a people. She believes the past is important. “We are the heirs of our ancestors’ journeys. History matters. It shapes us. We carry these stories within us even if the narrative has been lost to us\,” she says. The results of her research and personal reflections offer unique insights into the story of an “invisible” people. With compassion and understanding\, she unravels a long and complex history in an attempt to make it understandable for all. Even if you are not French\, you are sure to gain a greater understanding of American history. \nJeanne Douillard is an independent scholar specializing in the story of the French in the Americas. She is one of the major contributors to the book Building a Better Life – The French-Canadians in Western Massachusetts published by the Republican newspaper in Springfield\, MA. Her narrative poem\, Not So Much The Same Place\, is found in the anthology\, Heliotrope and a recently published poem\, pain\, can be found in the online publication\, Résonance. And finally\, Jeanne has published her own book under the auspices of Swamp Press of Northfield\, MA. \nIn her book\, I Remember… Je Me Souviens… she presents in greater detail the story of the French in the Americas. She also shares the story of her travels to France in 2014 and 2015 when she and her husband\, Armand Proulx went off in search of their ancestral villages. There will be a book signing after her talk.

Únete a Jeanne Douillard mientras presenta un enfoque único de una historia relativamente desconocida. En su charla\, «Presencia silenciosa: los franceses en Nueva Inglaterra»\, entrelaza su narrativa personal con la historia\, intentando en esencia llegar al corazón de un pueblo. Ella cree que el pasado es importante. «Somos los herederos de los viajes de nuestros antepasados. La historia importa. Nos moldea. Llevamos estas historias dentro de nosotros\, incluso si la narrativa se ha perdido»\, afirma. Los resultados de su investigación y sus reflexiones personales ofrecen una visión única de la historia de un pueblo «invisible». Con compasión y comprensión\, desentraña una historia larga y compleja en un intento de hacerla comprensible para todos. Aunque no sea francés\, seguro que adquirirá una mayor comprensión de la historia estadounidense. \nJeanne Douillard es una investigadora independiente especializada en la historia de los franceses en América. Es una de las principales colaboradoras del libro Building a Better Life – The French-Canadians in Western Massachusetts\, publicado por el periódico Republican de Springfield\, Massachusetts. Su poema narrativo\, Not So Much The Same Place\, se encuentra en la antología Heliotrope\, y un poema recientemente publicado\, pain\, se puede encontrar en la publicación en línea Résonance. Por último\, Jeanne ha publicado su propio libro bajo los auspicios de Swamp Press de Northfield\, Massachusetts. \nEn su libro\, I Remember… Je Me Souviens…\, presenta con mayor detalle la historia de los franceses en América. También comparte la historia de sus viajes a Francia en 2014 y 2015\, cuando ella y su marido\, Armand Proulx\, partieron en busca de los pueblos de sus antepasados. Después de su charla habrá una firma de libros.

SUMMARY:Mary Halvorson: Amaryllis
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed guitarist and composer Mary Halvorson brings her groundbreaking Amaryllis project to De la Luz Soundstage for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of avant-garde jazz and chamber music fusion. Halvorson’s exceptional sextet features an all-star lineup of Adam O’Farrill on trumpet\, Jacob Garchik on trombone\, Patricia Brennan on vibraphone\, Nick Dunston on bass\, and Tomas Fujiwara on drums. Together\, they’ll perform compositions from her newly released album\, showcasing Halvorson’s unique approach to composition that seamlessly blends structured arrangements with moments of thrilling improvisation. \nThe guitarist and composer has been described as “a singular talent” (Lloyd Sachs\, JazzTimes)\, ”NYC’s least-predictable improviser” (Howard Mandel\, City Arts)\, “one of the most original jazz guitarists of our time” (Peter Margasak\, Bandcamp Daily)\, and “one of today’s most formidable bandleaders” (Francis Davis\, Village Voice). In recent Downbeat Critics Polls Halvorson has been celebrated as guitarist\, rising star jazz artist\, and rising star composer of the year\, and in 2019 she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. \nThe De la Luz Soundstage\, with its intimate atmosphere and exceptional acoustics\, provides the perfect setting for audiences to experience Halvorson’s intricate musical tapestries up close. Listeners can expect to be transported through a range of sonic landscapes—from delicate\, lyrical passages reminiscent of contemporary classical music to explosive\, free-form explorations that highlight the ensemble’s remarkable chemistry and technical prowess. This rare performance represents an opportunity to witness one of today’s most original musical voices and her exceptional band at the height of their creative powers.

SUMMARY:Skye Consort & Emma Björling
DESCRIPTION:“Lots of groups combine elements of music from Scandinavia\, Ireland\, Scotland\, England\, and French Canada. None of them do it like Skye Consort.” ~ The Berkshire Edge \nRecipients of the prestigious Opus Award for 2019 Album of the Year with their debut (World music and Traditional Québec music)\, Skye Consort & Emma Björling perform trans-Atlantic chamber folk arrangements of songs and tunes from Sweden\, Norway\, Ireland\, Scotland\, England\, Québec\, Acadia\, the USA\, as well as original compositions. Each musician brings their own individual interpretation to these traditions to create an extraordinary collaboration\, consisting of voices\, fiddle\, nyckelharpa\, cello\, bouzouki\, banjo\, and percussion. Together they produce an assortment of whirling polskas\, moving reels\, passionate love songs\, and breathtaking hymns and songs. \nThe release of their second album\, Ode & Ballade\, released in 2024 has sent them touring the globe once again across North America and Scandinavia\, selling out venues and making new friends and fans wherever they go. This acclaimed album comprises stories of medieval saints and sacred wells\, fair maidens outsmarting presumptuous knights\, beautiful or boisterous drinking songs\, thieves meeting their fate\, heartbreaking love songs\, and groovy dance tunes. CBC Music\, Robert Rowat gave this advice: “If you’re lucky enough to have a cottage to escape to when the warm weather hits\, take this album with you.” And Leslie Barcza wrote: “I think it speaks for itself\, the musicianship\, the powerful invocation of times gone by. The whole CD is magical like that\, sometimes in Swedish sometimes French\, sometimes English.”

SUMMARY:Dustbowl Revival -  Lush Sonic Layers\, Gorgeous Vocal Harmonies\, and Infectious Tunes
DESCRIPTION:How do you describe genre-defying roots music adventurers Dustbowl Revival? Even tireless founder and lead songwriter Z. Lupetin would agree you have to come to a show to find out. Going strong into their second decade after starting from a humble Craigslist ad posted in bohemian Venice Beach\, some would say Dustbowl’s ever-evolving collective (there have been nearly thirty members!) plays a spicy cocktail of folky-funk or booty-shaking jangly rock n’ soul: expertly mixing their New Orleans-tinted brass section with their signature Laurel Canyon harmonies and fearless lyrics. \nWhile most bands stay in one lane or fade away quickly\, Dustbowl Revival is a testament to building a fanbase and their own sound the old-fashioned way\, with hard work and moving songs that stick to your bones when you leave the concert. There’s a reason they continue to get written up in Rolling Stone and Billboard and get played on AAA radio 16 years after they set sail. \nAfter releasing seven acclaimed albums starting in 2008\, including their beloved live record With A Lampshade On (2015) recorded mostly at their LA homebase the famed Troubadour\, and their charting self-titled record (2017) produced by Grammy-winner Ted Hutt (Flogging Molly\, Old Crow Medicine Show)\, perhaps their magnum opus is 2020’s deeply personal Is It You\, Is It Me – produced by Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive\, Josh Ritter). It showcases their penchant for orchestral brass and intricate string work with politically-charged story-songs that unfold like mini-movies. It’s not surprising that Z. Lupetin was an award-winning playwright and screenwriter before music took the reins. “Get Rid Of You”\, an ode to the courageous kids in Parkland\, FL who stood up to demand common-sense control laws be passed is a heart-wrenching staple of each show.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Blooms - Lora Barrett at Wistariahurst Museum
DESCRIPTION:During the month of September Wistariahurst Museum’s great hall will be filled with florals as we welcome in “Blooms”\, an art exhibit by painter Lora Barrett. This exhibit will feature 99 vibrant paintings of flowers of varying sizes. An avid gardener\, Lora Barrett maintains her gardens as a reference and muse for her highly colored paintings\, pushing the vibrancy of the flowers to the limit. Wistariahurst Museum will be hosting a solo show of 99 of her floral paintings from September 2-25\, 2025.  \nBarrett’s artistic journey began with a childhood marked by curiosity and a passion for art. This passion was fueled by supportive parents and teachers. She carried her passion for the arts into her adulthood as she majored in Art at The College of Our Lady of the Elms and began teaching Art in Holyoke upon graduation. While teaching in Holyoke\, she continued her studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, where she earned a Doctorate in Education and later taught Art Education at the University. Barrett has received several awards throughout her life for her artwork and for her work in arts education. She has continued her education at Cape Cod School of Art\, the Chatham Creative Arts Center\, the En Plein Air Art School in France\, and Snow Farm\, among others.  \nBarrett’s work has been shown in several galleries across the region\, and Wistariahurst is excited to have her work in our halls once more. Her paintings are in personal collections in France\, Canada\, Mexico\, Italy\, England\, and Ireland and in the permanent collection of the United States Federal Reserve in Washington\, DC.  \nThe opening reception of  “Blooms” will be held Tuesday\, September 2 from 4:30-7:00pm. Open Gallery Hours will be held on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30pm-6:30pm) through September 25th\, which will also be free and open to the public. The exhibit will also be on view during Wistariahurst’s Sunday Fundays and other public events through September 25th. Barrett will be hosting some events corresponding with her exhibit at Wistariahurst. Saturday\, September 6th from 10:00am-1:00pm will be Painting in the Garden with Lora Barrett. Paint in the Wisty Gardens with Lora\, or just come to watch as she demonstrates her craft. Some easels will be provided\, but artists should bring their own art supplies. There will also be an artists talk on Tuesday\, September 9th\, 5:30- 6:30pm where Lora will discuss the making of Blooms. We hope that you stop by and explore Lora Barrett’s Blooms.  \nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:NCC Hydra Cross
DESCRIPTION:NCC Hydra Cross is one of New England’s premier\, early season cyclocross races. Cyclocross is a great way for people of all ages to dip their toes into the world of competitive bike racing. Join us!\nNew to bike racing?: Hydra Cross is a great event to try out bike racing or cyclocross for the first time. There is a free intro to cyclocross racing clinic at 8:00 am on race day that is taught by local\, friendly bike racers. Learn the basics to help you enjoy your race. Beginner races follow shortly after — novice men should sign up for the 9:00 am category 4 and beginner race\, and novice women should sign up for the 11:00 am women’s category 4 and 5 race. Just a note on lingo\, brand-new racers and novices start as ‘category 5’ racers. Since we are a USA Cycling sanctioned race\, you will need a license but can purchase one when you register at http://bikereg.com/hydracross for $15. If you have any questions about the clinic or racing\, please just shoot us an email at hydracrossrace@gmail.com and we’ll respond with what you need. \nCourse Description: A fun\, fast\, twisty course that is primarily flat but has some surprising uphill kickers. After a slightly uphill\, wide start from the “Legion Shelf\,” the course heads towards Holyoke’s “Muscle Beach” and the hilly southern end of the park. The course design takes full advantage of the elevation to make riders work – but then also brings rewards with a swooping downhill that cuts back and forth across the hill. We have some stinging off-camber sections that will require your skills\, with the most challenging and decisive sector coming at the end of the course (see YouTube videos below for a preview). The course runs the full length of the long\, linear park with ample opportunities for spectating\, with continuous announcing throughout the race by the voice of NCC Hydra Cross 2025\, Jake Kravitz. Mountain and river views abound. \nEquipment Recommendation: File treads (if dry) and all-around tires will work well for most riders. The course is a mix of grass\, dirt\, and some pavement. New to cyclocross? Mountain bikes\, in any shape\, work fine for getting started racing. Road or touring bikes that allow for 32mm tires also work fine. \nRace Atmosphere: Come for the race\, stay for the atmosphere. Our beer garden and picnic area are family-friendly. There is a playground\, splash pad\, and popular skate park as well. Our race is known for its good vibes and community-driven feel. \nThe excellent Thai Chili Street Food Hub will be serving food in the American Legion Parking lot at lunch time. As usual\, expect the American Legion to be serving up coffee\, breakfast items\, beer and alcohol throughout the day\, in addition to lunch and snack items. \n¿Eres nuevo en las carreras de bicicleta?: Hydra Cross es un evento excelente para probar correr en bicicleta o hacer ciclocrós por primera vez. Hay una clínica gratuita de introducción a las carrera de ciclocrós a las 8 am el día de la carrera que es impartida por corredores de bicicleta locales y amistosos. Aprende los conceptos básicos para ayudarte a disfrutar de tu carrera. Las carreras para principiantes empiezan poco tiempo después — los hombres novatos deberían inscribirse para la carrera de principiantes categoría 5 de las 9 am\, y las mujeres novatas deberían inscribirse para la carrera categoría 4 y 5 de las 10 am. Solo un comentario sobre la jerga\, los corredores nuevos y los novatos comienzan como corredores ‘categoría 5’. Debido a que somos una carrera sancionada por USA Cycling\, necesitarás una licencia\, pero puedes comprar una por $15 cuando te inscribes en http://bikereg.com/hydracross. Si tienes alguna pregunta acerca de la clínica o las carreras\, por favor envíanos un correo electrónico a hydracrossrace@gmail.com y te responderemos con la información que necesitas. \nDescripción del Recorrido: Un recorrido divertido\, rápido y sinuoso que es principalmente plano\, pero tiene algunas subidas inesperadas. Después de un comienzo levemente cuesta arriba y amplio desde “Legion Shelf”\, el recorrido se dirige hacia “Muscle Beach” en Holyoke y hacia el extremo sur montañoso del parque. El diseño del recorrido aprovecha al máximo la elevación para hacer trabajar a los corredores\, pero también trae recompensas con un descenso en picada a través de la colina que acorta las idas y vueltas. Tenemos algunos punzantes sectores off-camber que requerirán de tus habilidades\, siendo el sector más decisivo y desafiante el que está al final del recorrido (ver el video de Youtube indicado más abajo para una vista preliminar). El recorrido abarca la longitud completa del largo parque lineal\, con amplias oportunidades para los espectadores\, con relato continuo durante la carrera por la voz de Hydra Cross\, Adam Syzmkowickz. Abundan las vistas a la montaña y al río. \nRecomendaciones de Equipamiento: Neumáticos con banda de rodamiento lisa (para terreno seco) y multiuso funcionarán bien para la mayoría de los corredores. El recorrido es una combinación de pasto\, tierra y algo de pavimento. ¿Eres nuevo en el ciclocrós? Las bicicletas de montaña\, en cualquier estado\, funcionan bien para empezar a correr. Las bicicletas de carretera o de turismo que permiten usar neumáticos de 32mm también funcionan bien. \nAmbiente de Competición: Ven por la carrera\, quédate por el ambiente. Nuestro patio cervecero y zona de picnic son aptos para familias. Hay un patio de juegos\, juegos de agua y también un parque para patinetas muy popular. Nuestra carrera es conocida por sus buenas vibras y por la sensación de comunidad.
