SUMMARY:MOURNING [a] BLKSTAR
DESCRIPTION:MOURNING [a] BLKSTAR is a multi-generational\, non-gender and non-genre confirming collective from Cleveland\, Ohio. They meld live instrumentation with harmonizing vocals and hip-hop production to share stories and experiences of the African Diaspora. Their sets are rooted in communing with the audience — an experience that is solidarizing\, heart-warming\, and vital for this moment. \nThe group’s seven members include musicians\, writers\, and multimedia artists. Their intricate arrangements\, rooted in jazz\, blues\, soul\, r&b\, and hip-hop\, are an afrofuturist examination of our cultural paradoxes that at times challenge; at times uplift — and constantly moor themselves in both sincerity and defiance. \nshapeshifters of the black experience\n“Because we’re predominantly a Black band\, we get pigeonholed into certain spaces\,” says singer LaToya Kent. “People will think you just do one thing.” \nIn reality\, the band goes pretty much everywhere. With three deeply soulful vocalists and a horn section\, they “draw on everything from spacey Afrofuturistic jazz to uplifting gospel-like vocals to apocalyptic hip-hop beats\, all underscored by a lyrical commitment to social and racial justice and healing.” (Noah Schaffer\, Boston Globe)

SUMMARY:P-Funk's Danny Bedrosian & Secret Army
DESCRIPTION:Danny Bedrosian\, longtime keyboardist for Parliament-Funkadelic\, brings his band Secret Army to De La Luz for a night of hard-hitting funk\, deep grooves\, and sharp musicianship. Known for blending P-Funk roots with experimental jazz\, hip-hop\, and progressive rock\, Bedrosian leads a powerhouse ensemble that pushes beyond nostalgia. Secret Army’s live sets are dynamic\, tight\, and unapologetically genre-bending — equal parts rhythm and message. \nWhether you’re a P-Funk diehard or just into music with teeth\, this one’s worth being in the room for. \nDanny Bedrosian is best known as the official keyboardist of George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic\, with whom he’s performed and recorded for over 20 years. A classically trained pianist with Armenian roots and a deep love for funk\, Bedrosian brings virtuosic command and fearless experimentation to every stage. \nSecret Army\, his longtime solo vehicle\, features a rotating lineup of elite players\, delivering compositions that are as complex as they are raw. With albums like Secret Army\, Songs for a Better Tomorrow\, and The Sleaziest of the Greaze\, the group continues to expand the language of modern funk while paying homage to its revolutionary legacy.

SUMMARY:Afro Caribbean History through the Arts Festival. Celebrating Juneteenth
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Brendaliz Cepeda and Bomba de aquí (Puerto Rico)\, as well as Maestros Lázaro Galarraga\, Tomás Román\, and Danys Perez La Mora (Cuba)\, we gather in Holyoke\, MA.\, to honor the cultural systems of the circum-Caribbean as an innovating force in Our Americas.

DESCRIPTION:Awarded the OPUS prize for “Discovery of the Year 2017-2018”\, among many other accolades since their first album release in 2017\, this trio is quickly winning over the hearts of listeners worldwide\, young and old alike. É.T.É are Élisabeth (fiddle\, step-dancing\, vocals)\, Thierry\n(bouzouki\, podorythmie\, vocals)\, and Élisabeth (cello\, vocals). The word été in French means summer–a fitting tribute to how their original\, lively take on Québec traditional music is infused with a new vitality. \nThe fruitful meeting of three young musicians with vibrant artistic journeys\, É.T.É propose a dynamic and contemporary vision of Québécois trad music. With influences from jazz\, progressive rock\, and classical music\, they create their own trad universe with original compositions and unique arrangements of Québécois and Acadian repertoire. Their rich vocal harmonies\, their groove\, their ease at their instruments and their electrifying simpatico onstage transforms the ordinary kitchen party into an unforgettable show! \nFollowing the release of their first album Le boire des minuits in 2017\, É.T.É won the “Emerging” prize from Grands prix Desjardins de la culture de Lanaudière in 2017; “Discovery of the Year” from OPUS 2017-2018; the “People’s Choice” prize from Cabaret festif in 2018; the Linda Lemay award from Festival international de la chanson de Granby 2019; and a “Lucien” from GAMIQ (Québec Independent Music Awards) in 2020. Their second album\, Les quatre roses\, was nominated at both OPUS and ADISQ in 2020. The group has toured extensively throughout Canada\, the USA\, Scotland\, Belgium and Australia. Their most recent album\, Sur ces eaux\, was released in November2022.

SUMMARY:BASIC - Minimalist Funk\, Maximal Impact
DESCRIPTION:This Philadelphia trio – Chris Forsyth (guitar)\, Mikel Patrick Avery (percussion/electronics)\, and Douglas McCombs (Tortoise bassist!) – creates taut\, hypnotic grooves that sound like “Bo Diddley with a chorus pedal” or “Yo La Tengo on a Congotronics bender”! Their polyrhythmic drum programming\, interlocking guitars\, and live electronic manipulation turn minimalism into pure maximalism through sheer repetitive power and ecstatic presence! \nFresh off their acclaimed debut “This Is BASIC” and with new EP “Dream City” droped March 7th\, they’re proving that sometimes the most underground influences create the most forward-thinking sounds! \nWatch these three masters of “friendly surveillance” lock into semi-improvised “fields” (not songs!) that shift and evolve with just a nod or glance – it’s musical telepathy in action! \nFor fans of genre-defying music that challenges and rewards\, BASIC delivers an unforgettable live experience.

SUMMARY:Buckwheat Zydeco Jr. And the legendary Ils Sont Partis Band
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a spicy evening of Creole cuisine\, Cajun waltzes and high-energy\, foot-stomping rhythms with Two-Time GRAMMY Award Winner\, Buckwheat Zydeco Jr. \nBorn on June 21\, 1970\, in Lafayette\, Louisiana\, Buckwheat Zydeco Jr. was immersed in zydeco and Creole music from a young age\, being the son of zydeco legend Stanley “Buckwheat” Dural\, Sr. He grew up just doors away from iconic zydeco figure Clifton Chenier\, absorbing the region’s vibrant musical traditions. \nAt 17\, Buckwheat Jr. began his musical journey by joining his father’s band\, initially playing the rubboard. Over time\, he became a skilled multi-instrumentalist\, mastering the accordion\, Hammond B-3 organ\, and more\, ultimately stepping into the role of frontman for the Ils Sont Partis Band\, a group founded by his father. \nBuckwheat’s career has included collaborations with musical legends like Eric Clapton\, Paul Simon\, Willie Nelson\, and Mavis Staples\, performing at prestigious events\, including two inaugural balls. His dynamic presence has been showcased on shows like The David Letterman Show and Good Morning America. \nBuckwheat has earned numerous accolades\, including two Grammy Awards\, an Emmy Award\, and multiple Grammy nominations. His 2024 album New Beginnings won Best Regional Roots Music Album at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards\, while he and the Ils Sont Partis Band received induction into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. \nFollowing the passing of his father in 2016\, Buckwheat Jr. continues to lead the Ils Sont Partis Band\, ensuring the legacy of zydeco music is carried forward with his son\, Kyle Anthony Dural\, performing alongside him. With over 2\,500 performances worldwide\, Buckwheat Zydeco Jr. remains a vital ambassador for zydeco\, blues\, and Louisiana’s rich musical heritage.

SUMMARY:More Love | EP 3 Riobamba (NYC) and DEEJAY THEORY
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third installment of our new global dance night exploring the past\, present and future of dance music across a broadening spectrum of genres — from disco to dembow\, afrobeats to amapiano — an expanding palette of sounds\, beats\, and languages. \nRiobamba is a first-generation\, Ecuadorian-Lithuanian sound artist\, scholar\, death doula\, and cultural activist based in New York City. Her rowdy\, deeply researched live sets reflect back nightlife’s power as a site of joy and resistance\, amplifying connective tissues between  YouTube clips\, bodega soundtracks\, and noise hyperreality “suped up with a twisted\, industrial gnarl” (Complex). The Fader has called her production work “a radically self-expressive piece of futurism that stands against a single\, boxed-in definition of what Latinx club music can be.” She is founder of APOCALIPSIS\, a record label that amplifies artists of the Global South and diaspora\, and is intent on restructuring the music industry to center and pay BIPOC creators. \nDEEJAY THEORY (ORIGINAL TING MUSIC\, FACTION SOUND\, MA)\, a New England native by way of San Francisco\, Deejay Theory has been swimming in international musical waters for most of his adult life. While out West\, he co-hosted the legendary club night TORMENTA TROPICAL\, a decade-long dance party in SF’s Mission district. His in-demand DJ sets diffuse a multiplicity of genres with careful craftsmanship\, exquisitely blended with near-zero turbulence and maximal groove.

SUMMARY:Dinosaurs in the Driveway with Sarah Doyle
DESCRIPTION:Visit Wistariahurst Museum to experience Dinosaurs in the Driveway with Sarah Doyle. Doyle dives into the history of the dinosaur tracks leading up to Wistariahurst. In 1927\, when Belle Skinner had slabs of sandstone with dinosaur footprints laid as a driveway to Wistariahurst\, it may have seemed an idiosyncratic choice. Although the tracks were well known locally\, dinosaurs had not yet made the big mark on pop culture we see today. It is only in recent years that scientific interest in the footprints has been revived\, yet their discovery in the valley in 1835 made our local small towns and people well known to scientists in Britain and Europe. How the Connecticut River Valley became part of international dialogue over identifying what had made the footprints — if they even were footprints! — makes a fascinating trip into another little slice of local history. \nSarah Doyle has investigated the history of the discovery of dinosaur footprints since 1990. She was lead writer for the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association’s Impressions from a Lost World website and since 2010 has directed Jurassic Roadshow\, a pop-up exhibit of local fossils that includes amateur fossil collectors\, academic paleontologists and geologists\, historical re-enactors\, and learning activities. Jurassic Roadshow was the impetus for the creation of DinoFest\, held annually in Greenfield since 2017\, often in collaboration with Jonathan Mirin’s Piti Theatre group for children. She has written papers on the mostly unknown figures in the story of the discovery\, including three in collaboration with the late Robert Herbert. \nVisit Wistariahurst Museum July 20th from 1:00-2:00pm for Dinosaurs on the Driveway. \nDinosaurs in the Driveway is funded by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nVisite el Museo Wistariahurst y descubra Dinosaurios en el camino de entrada con Sarah Doyle. Doyle se sumerge en la historia de las huellas de dinosaurio que conducen a Wistariahurst. En 1927\, cuando Belle Skinner mandó colocar losas de arenisca con huellas de dinosaurios como camino de entrada a Wistariahurst\, pudo parecer una elección idiosincrásica. Aunque las huellas eran bien conocidas en la localidad\, los dinosaurios aún no habían dejado la gran huella en la cultura popular que vemos hoy en día. Sólo en los últimos años se ha reavivado el interés científico por las huellas\, pero su descubrimiento en el valle en 1835 hizo que los científicos de Gran Bretaña y Europa conocieran bien nuestros pueblos y gentes. La forma en que el valle del río Connecticut se convirtió en parte del diálogo internacional sobre la identificación de las huellas -¡si es que eran huellas! — es un viaje fascinante a otro pequeño fragmento de la historia local. \nSarah Doyle investiga la historia del descubrimiento de huellas de dinosaurio desde 1990. Fue redactora jefe del sitio web Impressions from a Lost World de la Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association y desde 2010 dirige Jurassic Roadshow\, una exposición itinerante de fósiles locales que incluye coleccionistas aficionados\, paleontólogos y geólogos académicos\, recreadores históricos y actividades de aprendizaje. Jurassic Roadshow fue el impulso para la creación de DinoFest\, que se celebra anualmente en Greenfield desde 2017\, a menudo en colaboración con el grupo de teatro infantil Piti Theatre de Jonathan Mirin. Ha escrito artículos sobre las figuras\, en su mayoría desconocidas\, de la historia del descubrimiento\, incluidos tres en colaboración con el difunto Robert Herbert. \nVisite el Museo Wistariahurst el 20 de julio de 13:00 a 14:00 para ver Dinosaurios en el camino de entrada. \nDinosaurs on the Driveway se financia con una subvención del Consejo Cultural Local de Holyoke\, un organismo local que cuenta con el apoyo del Consejo Cultural de Massachusetts\, un organismo estatal.

SUMMARY:Walter Parks & The Unlawful Assembly
DESCRIPTION:“The first time I saw Walter Parks I knew I was witnessing a rare talent! From a whisper out of heaven to a 747 like roar Walter can write it\, sing it and play it all!”\n– JJ Grey \nWitness a one-of-a-kind musical experience as Walter Parks & The Unlawful Assembly take the stage with their genre-bending fusion of historic spirituals\, gospel\, blues\, and American roots traditions. \nThis isn’t a nostalgia act — it’s a reinvention. With deep reverence and cutting-edge arrangements\, the band brings new life to prison work chants\, shape-note hymns\, and swamp hollers\, layering them with jazz\, soul\, and modern grooves. Backed by standout collaborators including drummer/producer Steven Williams\, vocalist Ada Dyer\, and trombonist Andrae Murchison\, the group’s sound is both grounded in history and defiantly forward-looking. \nExpect a soulful\, swampy\, and cinematic performance — one that not only honors the past but sparks fresh dialogue about resistance\, hope\, and the healing power of collective music.
