Their creative use of sound design and group-minded improvisation blurs the line between their originals and quirky pop classics. \n“Tough Transmissions\,” a recent collection of hilariously titled one-minute songs\, showcases the trio’s lack of musical boundaries and deep comedic undercurrents. \nWith a revolving door of guests including members of Phish\, MMW\, Dopapod\, Lotus\, Snarky Puppy\, and DJ Logic\, along with a reputation for their sprawling late-night sets\, Muscle Tough invites audiences around the world to GET TOUGH! \nCity of Four brings an original brand of modern groove-based jazz\, funk\, and fusion to music venues across Boston and New England. The band has received an “Outstanding Performance” recognition from Downbeat Magazine as a Blues/Pop/Rock group. Some of the original music in its catalog has also been recognized by ASCAP and MIX Magazine. \n

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.

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.

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.

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.

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). Northampton/Hadley\, MA. \nOnce Boston’s best-kept secret\, Speedfossil\, the creation of singer/songwriter Garret Vandermolen\, is on the verge of breaking out of New England with their third LP\, and Red on Red Records debut release\, NO ANESTHESIA. The band has been hailed by fans and critics alike as a return of great pop songwriting in the vein of The Replacements\, The Kinks\, The Beatles\, The Smithereens\, even the Ventures. Metronome Magazine stated that Speedfossil is “an impeccable rock band that\, without question\, can hang with the best.” The line-up of the band to date\, with Garret (vocals/guitar/keyboards) Michael Scotti (bass\, vocals) Dan Jordan (guitar/vocals\,) and Hector Saint-Hilaire (drums)\, have all been working together since late 2018. \nJudd’s Restaurant at Gateway City Arts is open for dinner the night of the show\, make a reservation here!

SUMMARY:EDDIE SATURN FEAT. WHYTRI\, MALIK ELIJAH\, AND THE BITTER DUO
DESCRIPTION:From Saturn to Western Massachusetts to Los Angeles\, California\, EDDIE SATURN has moved around for one mission: to spread love and human growth throughout Earth. In 11 years of his art career in Massachusetts\, EDDIE was a producer for a lot of artists like his old hip hop group DUBSEE and the founder of the Pass the Soul festival.. There he worked with artists like ANSON RAP$\, DJ Lucas\, Donny Darkpop & MUDA! He is now based out of the LA area. \nEDDIE SATURN is walking revenge of the hopeless romantic\, revenge of the nerd\, and revenge of the 80s. His dreamy + nostalgic music\, influenced by 80s pop\, 90s hip hop\, and punk music hides his real age. On the same hand he is a kid at heart drawing from the cartoons he watches\, like Ed\, Edd n Eddy\, and video games he plays\, like Kingdom Hearts. EDDIE SATURN believes in a higher power in the cosmos + talks about good + evil like sides in a Star Wars flick. If he is from the planet he got his last name from\, then EDDIE SATURN’s “true alien form” would be all blue.EDDIE SATURN’s songs range from aggravated responses to the darkside + mental health like in his song ‘CURAGA…’ to beautiful lush guitar driven ballads like his previously released single ‘VACATION…’ His influences also have a vast range from Prince to Andre 3000 to the Ramones to Grimes.

SUMMARY:Nerd Nite Holyoke!
DESCRIPTION:May the Fourth be with you! \nThis month we’re heading back out to a long time ago and far\, far away. \nEmily Rome \nThe Wacky History of Restoration-Era Shakespeare Performance \nA happy ending for “King Lear\,” opera numbers for the “Macbeth” witches\, and a mash-up of “Much Ado About Nothing” and “Measure for Measure.” No\, these are not new pitches for a Hollywood movie but actual 17th-century adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays. Come learn how political upheaval not long after Shakespeare’s death and the reopening of London theaters in 1660 have defined Shakespeare’s legacy. \nEmily Rome is an educator and journalist currently based in Berkshire County. For over three years\, she was the co-boss of Nerd Nite Los Angeles\, until she ventured across the pond to earn a Shakespeare Studies MA in the Bard’s hometown\, Stratford-upon-Avon. She’s written for such publications as the Los Angeles Times\, Entertainment Weekly\, and American Theatre. As an educator\, Emily has done work with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust\, the Seattle Shakespeare Company\, and Smithsonian Associates. She is host of the podcast Shakespeare’s Shadows\, which will relaunch with new episodes in Fall 2023. Emily is an enthusiast of the Seattle Storm\, iced coffee\, time travel\, and\, of course\, Shakespeare. \nRob Mancini \n“Why Jizz Happened\,” a look at the musical history of Star Wars and how it influenced the atmosphere of the movies. \nBeen a fan of Star Wars since I rented Return of the Jedi as a child because I saw Jim Henson was involved. Having been on the internet for the better part of my life\, ai have waded into the Death Star trenches of online “discourse.” I know what a Wookie-Ookie is and have\, for better or for worse\, retained far too much trivia about the material. Rob Mancini \nDoors open at 7pm\, presentations start at 7:30. Donations are $5 suggested. Taken on site via QR code. \nCome early to have dinner and drinks at Judds across the hall! \n

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Daniel Okrent
DESCRIPTION:Nationally-known\, prize-winning author and former public editor of the New York Times Daniel Okrent will visit us virtually on May 4 at 5:00 PM on the big screen in the Holyoke Public Library Community Room. The author of six books\, Okrent has been described by Publishers Weekly as “one of our most interesting and eclectic writers of nonfiction over the past 25 years.” \nTwo of Okrent’s books available to borrow from the Library and on Libby.  Informal\, drop-in discussions of Last Call and The Guarded Gate take place at the Holyoke Public Library History Room on 4/25 and 5/2\, 4:00-6:00 PM\, leading up to Okrent’s virtual visit. Call 413-420-8107for more information. \nThe Guarded Gate: Bigotry\, Eugenics\, and the Law that Kept Two Generations of Jews\, Italians\, and other European Immigrants out of America: The chilling story of how anti-immigration activists of the early twentieth century — most of them well-born\, many of them progressives — used the bogus science of eugenics to justify closing the immigration door in 1924. \nLast Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition: Deemed a “narrative delight” and a “marvelous and lively social history\,” Okrent’s account weaves entertaining anecdotes into a narrative full of insights as to how the Prohibition movement succeeded and failed. \nThis program is supported 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:Scat and Skulls
DESCRIPTION:Come to an engaging naturalist program for ages 12 and up. \nWhat can you tell about an animal by examining its skull?  Educator Bob Kidd shares over 40 skulls with you\, pointing out features that tell us what its former owner ate\, how it saw the world\, its size\, and other characteristics. Test yourself to identify each skull. Also examine replicas of a tell-tale sign of animal presence: scat (otherwise known as poop\, droppings\, or by many other names). Hone your naturalist skills in this workshop to become more aware of animal presence during your outdoor jaunts. \nPresenter Robert Kidd is a retired biology teacher\, having taught 34 years in public schools and 13 years at Westfield State University. He has been active in Boy Scouts for 69 years.

SUMMARY:Celebrating the donation of the Esther Laura Kramer Sacks and Edward Sacks Press Photograph Collection
DESCRIPTION:Deborah Leopold and David Sacks\, and the Holyoke History Room\, invite you to a celebration of the donation of The Esther and Edward Sacks Press Photograph Collection. \nEddie and Esther Sacks were for many years a fixture in Holyoke’s political and cultural scene. Both Holyoke natives\, Eddie (auctioneer\, realtor\, Constable and Deputy Sheriff for seven decades) and Esther (insurance broker\, auctioneer\, and community group leader) were also both active in many Jewish community organizations\, as well as other local organizations. Over many years Esther obtained newspaper photos of the couple’s public activities. The photos hung in their downtown offices and later in their son David’s office in the Springfield courthouse. \nDeborah and David donated the collection to the Holyoke History Room of the Holyoke Public Library in 2019\, in memory of Esther and Edward Sacks. The collection\, consisting of more than 90 black and white images\, not only document the community leadership of Eddie and Esther Kramer Sacks\, but also capture a segment of Holyoke’s political and social elite\, general citizenry during the 1950s-1980s\, and even some celebrity visitors to Holyoke. \nThe public is invited to register and share memories of Eddie and Esther Sacks at this Zoom only event.

SUMMARY:Holyoke City Hall Dedication
DESCRIPTION:2023 marks the 150th Anniversary of the City of Holyoke… a historic sesquicentennial event!! Our community will honor the date of our City’s incorporation with a ceremony on the front steps of City Hall (Dwight Street) with a reception to follow in the City Hall Ballroom. \nThe first inhabitants of this area of the Connecticut River Valley include: Native Americans – the Algonguins\, including the Nipmucs\, Pequots\, and Mohegans\, as well as Agawams to the south\, and the Nonotucks and Pocumtucs to the north. Eventually early European settlers obtained the land that would be incorporated into the future boundaries of Holyoke. Holyoke was first colonized in 1745\, officially incorporated as a town in 1850\, and later as a city in 1873. \nPlease join us for this unique and memorable occasion for Holyoke and its residents.

SUMMARY:Sage King
DESCRIPTION:iHeartRadio Award winning artist Sage King was born to entertain. His roots come from Rock N’ Roll\, but his songwriting has developed into a wide variety of styles. \n“A little about myself; I like guitars\, whiskey\, BBQ\, and putting on a good record! I grew up in Enfield\, CT and cut my teeth in nearly every bar within a 25 mile radius since I was 13 years old.” \nNow into his mid 20s and over 1000 shows under his belt\, Sage King has found his stride and he shows no signs of slowing down. Having released 2 independent EPs\, he is working on putting songs together for his first full length record. He has also fronted the band Hivebane since 2017 and they are releasing their debut album “COLLIDER” on March 31st 2023. \nIn 2020 his song “Lay Down Your Guns” won him a nationwide battle of the bands put on by iHeartRadio and sponsored by Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey. He was awarded a grand cash prize and was flown to St. Paul\, Minnesota to share the stage with Walker Hayes\, Parmalee\, and Mitchell Tenpenny for FanJam 2022.

SUMMARY:Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow - Wistariahurst Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are Mondays 10:30am-12:30am and Tuesdays 4:30pm-6:30pm \nFor the month of February Wistariahurst Museum and Garden will display a poster exhibition entitled Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow organized and distributed by the New-York Historical Society Museum and Library with lead support for this traveling exhibition provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. \nBlack Americans gained monumental new liberties after the Civil War and the end of slavery. The era known as Reconstruction brought freedom\, citizenship\, and\, for men\, the right to vote. By the early 1900s\, these liberties had been sabotaged by a repressive racial system known as Jim Crow. This exhibit chronicles the long strides forward\, bruising setbacks\, and heroic struggle for equality that took place\nduring these years. \nThe exhibit will be in the Gallery at Wistariahurst and will be supplemented with artifacts and images from the Black Holyoke collection.
