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: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:Edward Hitchcock: America's First Dinosaur Expert
DESCRIPTION:EDWARD HITCHCOCK was one of 19th-century America’s most eminent scientists. He was the first American scientist to publicly embrace the theory of continental glaciation\, but he is better known for his landmark research on what he called the “fossil footmarks” of the Connecticut Valley. Although he was subject to criticism and ridicule at the time\, Hitchcock became recognized as the first scientist to find evidence of dinosaurs in North America. \nNo biography had been written of him until 2021\, when All the Light here Comes from Above: The Life and Legacy of Edward Hitchcock was published by retired HCC biology professor Bob McMaster.  In his presentation\, Bob will review the life of Edward Hitchcock\, his legacy as a scientist\, and his role in the early development of local higher education.  Free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Holyoke History Room. \nRobert McMaster has degrees from Boston College\, Smith College\, and the University of Massachusetts. He taught biology at Holyoke Community College from 1994 to 2014. His other books include the Trolley Days Series (four novels set in Holyoke in the World War I era) and Rose of Glenkerry: A County Wicklow Mystery\, a contemporary novel set in Ireland.

SUMMARY:Virtual reading of Frederick Douglass's speech\, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?"
DESCRIPTION:Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery in 1838 and lived for many years in Massachusetts. He delivered the Fourth of July speech on July 5\, 1852\, in Rochester\, New York\, to the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society. The most celebrated orator of his day\, Douglass’ powerful language\, resolute denunciations of slavery\, and forceful examination of the Constitution challenge us to think about the histories we tell\, the values they teach\, and if our actions match our aspirations. To quote Douglass\, “We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the future.” \nRegister: https://tinyurl.com/2v986w25

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.

SUMMARY:Housing and Puerto Ricans in New York\, 1945-1970
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will explore the settlement of Puerto Ricans in public housing in New York City between 1945-1970.  Drawing on demographic data\, city documents\, and housing statistics from the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)\, the lecture will highlight the history of Puerto Ricans in public housing in the mid-twentieth century in relation to Operation Bootstrap and colonialism on the island.  Drawing from Latina feminist methodologies\, Rosa’s investigation challenges culture of poverty narratives and instead focusses on the gendered and racialized dynamics of public housing. Rosa’s work gives broader context to Holyoke’s local Puerto Rican diaspora. \nThis is a hybrid event: come in person or register to attend on Zoom. \nVanessa Rosa is Assistant Professor of Latina/o/x Studies\, Department of Spanish\, Latina/o and Latin American Studies at Mount Holyoke College. Rosa is currently completing a book manuscript titled Precarious Constructions: Race\, Class\, and Urban Revitalization (UNC Press). \nThe Holyoke History Room’s Perspectives on the Puerto Rican Diaspora lecture series is made possible by a grant from MassHumanities. \n  \nLink to the whole series
