When the stars were out and the wind danced through the trees like a whirlwind serenade.\nAnd so\, music was in my bones. Life’s mysterious undercurrents made sure of that.\nWrestled an alligator\, fought a tornado\, and been everywhere twice. Ran away with the circus when I was 16 and spent a few years as a tent rigger. Started writing songs when I was hiking the Appalachia trail. Thoroughly convinced I’ve been reincarnated and landed in the wrong decade. I write a lot about the mountain I grew up on. Spend a lot of time in corners talking to myself.”\nSong Links: https://open.spotify.com/track/3EJnVeutnaoGlikPCqAnlb…\nhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0o1GVJXhM66Mls5a0ZdVcY…\n2) Jared Fiske\nJared is best known for his work as a solo performer and songwriter\, and as a member of the popular Americana/rock outfit “The Casters”. He also performs in an acoustic duo with his wife\, Jessica\, under the pseudonym “Never Say Never”. Hailing from an artistic family\, Fiske began performing in musical groups with his father\, Rob Adams\, and brother Seth at a young age.\nFiske’s original song “Choice” was selected for use in a short film by the non-profit organization Planetaid.org. Worcester Magazine said of his most recent album “We’re Already Gone” that “there’s really no way to prepare oneself for how achingly beautiful and melancholy Jared Fiske’s new album is.” (Victor Infante).\nYou can catch Jared performing at bars\, coffeehouses and festivals throughout Massachusetts.\nSong Links: https://open.spotify.com/track/3RDGKiEwa8OEEp97FXHeHT…\nhttps://open.spotify.com/track/7Kkvc4MMve9h244WgtIAX1…\n3) Sean Lemkey\nSean Lemkey is a singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Sean is best known for his involvement as vocalist and cofounder of the folk-rock band “Among The Acres”. Lemkey fuses an ethereal and yearning energy with an evocative modern indie-folk-pop sensibility. Taking up the drums at age 5\, he would go on to study the instrument for 13 years before later teaching himself guitar in college.\nAs a drummer\, guitarist\, songwriter and collaborator\, Lemkey has been involved in dozens of projects over the past decade\, spanning a breadth of genres and styles. During the isolating pandemic winter of 2022\, Lemkey decided to finally embark on the journey of writing and recording his first ever full length solo LP\, which was released in April 2023.\nSong Links: https://open.spotify.com/track/3BjdBVNOQuPkQpmijQcbfF…\nhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0yuIVXce2OqVpCg4hsAHrI…\n4) Dylan Patrick Ward\n“He’s funny. He’s also as serious as an ax-handle.”-Peter Mulvey\nKnown for songs that are by turns heartbreaking and laugh-out-loud funny\, Dylan Patrick Ward is a Vermont-based singer-songwriter whose sharp lyrics and sweet melodies present the world in all it’s absurd and tragic glory.\nHis empathy and candor have drawn comparisons to the Mountain Goats\, John Prine and Randy Newman\, and since arriving on the scene in 2021\, he’s become increasingly respected and recognized in the worlds of both folk and underground music\, and has played respected venues such as Club Passim in Cambridge\, MA.\nSong Links: https://open.spotify.com/track/10HZsfEwXhuz0OtXgub6dk…\nhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0AYP0BsocIYKc13mvJDMxW…

SUMMARY:Hues of Holyoke
DESCRIPTION:The Hues of Holyoke \nPaintings of the Holyoke Mills by Lora Barrett \nCelebrating the 150th Anniversary of Holyoke \nWistariahurst Museum \nOpening Reception August 3\, 2023 from 4:30-6:30 pm \npaintings on view August 3-30 \n“The mills of Holyoke are among my favorite subject matter for painting. People may think these buildings are plain and lacking in warmth and color\, but I find them anything but. Quite the contrary\, I find the mills to be stately\, powerful representations of so much of the city’s shared history. \nHave you ever looked at the grandness of our mills? Every time I pass one\, I see something different. It could be the shape of a window\, the color of an entrance\, the slope of the roofline\, or the reflections in the canals.  In painting these simple parts of our city\, I think of the many waves of people who have come here to work in those mills and to make Holyoke their home. There was struggle; there was failure; there was success; there is beauty. ”     \nPlease join us for a display of Lora Barrett’s most recent 2023 Holyoke Mill Paintings.  \nPaintings available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Every Book Guaranteed Perfect: The National Blank Book Company in Retrospect
DESCRIPTION:The National Blank Book Company at the foot of Cabot Street (and later in Chicopee) was a Holyoke fixture for nearly a century and a half\, producing internationally-distributed products from workforce ledgers\, to diaries\, to custom binders.  It ingrained itself in local factory culture in the process. As one former employee explained\, “If you talked to a Holyoker and they didn’t know someone who worked there or hadn’t worked there themself\, you knew they were new in town.” \nJoin us on Thursday\, June 15 at 5pm for a Community Room panel discussion\, Every Book Guaranteed Perfect: The National Blank Book Company in Retrospect. The History Room’s Archival Fellow Joe Maspo\, M.A.\, will begin with an overview of the newly-expanded National Blank Book Collection and the interviews he conducted for the project.  The highlight will be a panel discussion with former employees about life with the company. Some unique artifacts that tell the story of a factory and its city will be on display. This project is the culmination of a months-long archival processing project and was made possible with a generous donation from the Richard and Margaret Towne Charitable Fund. For more information\, contact the History Room at (413) 420-8107.

SUMMARY:THE GLAD MACHINE + ALEX ROHAN + PRIDEFALLS
DESCRIPTION:Judd’s Restaurant at Gateway City Arts is open for dinner the night of the show\, make a reservation here! \nFormed in the fall of 2012\, The Glad Machine set out to write some of the catchiest rock songs on the vibrant Western Massachusetts music scene. Drawing influence from Cheap Trick\, The Posies\, Jellyfish\, The Beach Boys and Superdrag. The Glad Machine has honed their sound into a power-pop vessel to be reckoned with. \nWestern Massachusetts songwriter Alex Rohan has been in the live music scene in New England for the last fifteen plus years. With a unique & polished style of guitar playing\, deep relatable emotion filled lyrics alongside powerful & delicate vocals\, Alex offers a wide variety and pays homage to many different  genre’s. Music and it’s ability to bring people together always fascinated Alex. He started his singing career at a very young age in the back seat of his mothers car and singing along to chosen radio stations at her hair salons. His father’s musicianship and love for music led Alex into a whole generation of fantastic influences. He began to have interest in artist’s / genre’s such as: Micheal Jackson\, Nirvana\, The Eagles\, Cat Stevens\, Beach Boys\, Boys 2 Men \,Ub 40\,Jewel\, James Taylor\, reggae\, jazz / funk\, folk & blue grass\, progressive\, punk\, heavy metal and rap/R&B. This has essentially influenced his chord progressions\, lyrical selection\, and decisions vocally. \nPridefalls is a quintet based in Western\, MA. Together since 2005\, members Paul Dionne (bass)\, John Veit (vocals\, guitar)\, Sean Croteau (drums)\, Steve Becker (guitar\, keys\, vocals)\, and Tim Cullinan (vocals\, guitar)\, have evolved from an acoustic based pop-rock band to a jam-band rooted in lush\, anthemic music. \nTheir 2010\, debut LP “Heat” exhibits their creative musicianship\, heartfelt lyrics and wide ranging influences. \nNow\, armed with new original songs\, sing-along covers\, and a new album in the works\, PF brings their energetic\, entertaining and uplifting live show to Race Street Live\, 6/9/23.

SUMMARY:WILDHEART: TRIBUTE TO STEVIE NICKS + FLEETWOOD MAC
DESCRIPTION:THE START: Jami D\, Stevie Nicks Tribute Artist\, has been singing Stevie Nicks songs since she\, herself\, was on the Edge of Seventeen: On Stevie Nicks’ birthday\, May 26\, 2015 WILD HEART TRIBUTE began its work developing a Tribute to the solo career of Stevie Nicks. One year later the Tribute added the fine works of the rest of Fleetwood Mac\, along with the back stories\, the emotional moments\, and all that made Fleetwood Mac who they were and who they would become to music appreciators all over the world! \nTHE RESULT: As now the 4th most POPULAR Stevie Nicks/ Fleetwood Mac Tribute Show in the Nation\, WILD HEART TRIBUTE provides a dramatic and theatrical experience; the authentic music along with an intimate portrait of each fronting band member\, whose finest works together actually came to be while simultaneously losing their connections with one another. Our Lindsey Buckingham Tribute Artist\, Scott McLead\, along with Jami D play out the connect-disconnect\, as their songs intertwine and their lives seemingly unravel… As the members of FLEETWOOD MAC have always been candid about their loves\, their losses\, and their lives through it all\, WILD HEART TRIBUTE has created a show which will leave you feeling a part of FLEETWOOD MAC’s legacy and wanting to come back…for more\, time and time again! \nTHIS SEASON’s SPECIAL FEATURE: This year we mourn the loss and pay special tribute to the great CHRISTINE MCVIE. Our entire season is dedicated to her; you will hear Fleetwood Mac Favorites: Over My Head\, Songbird\, Little Lies\, and so many more! Our own Missy Main\, Christine McVie Tribute Singer will give you chills with her authentic-reproductions of Christine McVie’s songs.

Her/their songs roar an otherworldly fire against oppression\, exalt queer love and liberation\, and create a gripping atmosphere for healing. Doctora Xingona’s poetic songs live in-between\, where borders are a myth. An expansive multimedia artist and educator\, Doctora Xingona’s music\, poetry\, performances\, films\, and gatherings center transcendence\, kinship\, and the co-liberation and nourishment of queer and trans artists of color. \nDoctora Xingona is the composer and filmmaker behind the award-winning Quiero Volver: A Xicanx Ritual Opera\, a multimedia performance altar for queer and trans BIPOC artists to convene and manifest futures. This performance\, awarded by the New England Foundation for the Arts and multiple Massachusetts Cultural Councils\, has been described by the press as an “acoustically stunning performance meant to honor women\, nonbinary\, and genderqueer artists of color.” Quiero Volver has raised over $10\,000 to support immigrant justice initiatives\, and currently benefits the BridgeSong Fund: Emergency Relief for Western MA Women\, Nonbinary\, Trans\, and Genderqueer Artists of Color\, co-founded by Doctora Xingona at the Institute for the Musical Arts in Goshen\, MA. \nAlvarez’s journey as a songwriter and opera composer began with her award-winning poetry\, which centers genderqueer muse\, Bruja Juana. In 2008\, Alvarez completed her MFA in Poetry at Sarah Lawrence College\, where her poetry collection\, Consultations with Bruja Juana\, was conceived. Consultations was published by Toadlily Press in 2009\, and two of Alvarez’s poems also appear in The Best of Toadlily Press (2011). Poet Sean Nevin said of Consultations\, “Diana Alvarez writes the truth through a tincture of magic and prayer\, and both the spirits and the living are cupping their ears to listen.” \nDr. Alvarez earned her PhD in Electronic Arts Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute\, where she was mentored by groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros. Alvarez’s dissertation research is titled Bridge Artistx: Gatherings of Women\, Non-Binary\, and Genderqueer Artists of Color. At Rensselaer\, Alvarez composed her opera\, and blended testimonio methods and video portraiture to document the lives and work of women\, nonbinary\, and genderqueer artists of color. Alvarez’s video art continues to expand. In 2018\, Alvarez was commissioned to create a documentary for the world premiere of Sharon Bridgforth’s performance installation\, dat Black Mermaid Man Lady at allgo\, a statewide queer people of color organization in Austin\, Texas. In addition to her documentary commissions for Bridgforth\, Alvarez has directed her own music videos\, as well as a music video for internationally recognized singer-songwriter and jazz musician\, Pamela Means. \nDoctora Xingona Diana Alvarez has been awarded grants from New England Foundation for the Arts\, Iguana Music Fund/Club Passim\, Easthampton City Arts\, Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts and Mass MoCA\, Massachusetts Assembly/ArtPlace America. Alvarez is the recipient of the Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize from the Fine Arts Work Center (Provincetown\, MA) and the Malcolm S. Morse Graduate Research Enhancement Award in Honor of Pauline Oliveros from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Alvarez has also been an artist-in-residence at Banff Centre for the Arts in Alberta\, Canada. \nDoctora Xingona is an invited performer\, guest lecturer\, workshop facilitator\, and keynote speaker at venues and schools across the US and worldwide\, including Festival Internaciónal Cervantino\, MX\, Philadelphia Folk Festival\, PA\, Banff Centre for the Arts\, Folk Alliance International\, and many more. \nDoctora Xingona’s debut album\, Ser Artista–a roaring\, genderqueer\, extraterrestrial\, Xicanx collection of songs produced by Seth Glier–was released in December 2021. \nOLIVIA NIED \nOlivia’s poignant songs reflect her unique life experience shared with audiences through moving vocals and unique instrumentation on guitar\, piano\, bass\, ukulele\, melodica\, violin and percussion. \nTrained at Hampshire College\, Goldsmiths – University of London\, Berklee College of Music\, and the Vermont Jazz Center\, Olivia is an innovative composer\, arranger\, and producer who creates original music for live performance\, modern dance\, theater and independent film.

SUMMARY:EX-TEMPER + SPEEDFOSSIL WITH SPECIAL GUEST GOLDSETTER
DESCRIPTION:Ex-Temper creates pivoting\, unpredictable\, guitar-driven rock layered with catchy melodies and three-part vocal harmonies. Once described as “Fugazi meets the Andrews Sisters” and credited with playing “heavy\, head-banging riffs\,” their lyrics explore everything from heartbreak and obsession\, to prominent social issues like police brutality\, mass shootings\, the inefficiency of white guilt\, and mansplaining; as well as mysteries like the Green Children of Woolpit\, and existential questions such as if an organ donor’s consciousness or memories can be transplanted into the recipient’s mind. \nPsychedelic\, thumping\, melodic\, and driving\, Goldsetter’s music doesn’t take us where each song should go\, but where it can. Song after song melds divergence and syncopates throughlines within their extensive musical influences to create a sound both familiar and unexpected. Epic without excess this is heartfelt\, fierce\, fun music as likely to part the clouds as it is to crash the cupboard.Francesco Muri (vox\, keys); Sam Hankins (drums); Georgia Rae Teensma (vox\, guitar); Aaron Noble (vox\, guitar); Mike Parham (bass).
