SUMMARY:Hammers on Stone: The Granite Industry on Cape Ann
DESCRIPTION:For over a century\, the granite industry played a vital role in Cape Ann’s economy\, providing work for men from across New England and around the world\, generating profits for those fortunate enough to share in ownership of the region’s many quarries\, and contributing to the unique and authentic sense of place that characterizes Cape Ann today. On a broader scale\, the industry contributed significantly to building and transportation projects across our nation during a sustained period of growth and expansion. \nDrawing on the Cape Ann Museum’s extensive holdings of objects and archival materials related to the industry\, most of which were gifted to the Cape Ann Museum by historian Barbara Erkkila (1918-2013)\, Hammers on Stone will explore the history of the granite trade and its impact on the community. The exhibition will examine methods of harvesting\, cutting\, and finishing stone\, as well as how granite was transported from quarry to wharf and further afield. The exhibit will also explore the lives of those involved in quarrying and consider how the industry helped shape Cape Ann’s artistic landscape\, inspiring generations of artists to the present day. \nImage: Samuel Lewis Pullman (1900-1961)\, Quarryman Joe Boston\, 1930\, oil on canvas.

SUMMARY:Danielia Cotton with Megan Wolffe
DESCRIPTION:Reserved Seats $45 + $6.95 service fee\nGA Standing $25 + $6.95 service fee\n6:30pm Doors / 7:30pm Show\n18+\, Positive I.D. Required. \nAmericana/Soul/Rock artist Danielia Cotton released her version of Charley Pride’s Roll On Mississippi on March 18\, 2024 (Pride’s birthday) and Kiss an Angel Good Morning on May 15\,\n2024\, as the first twosingles for her upcoming tribute EP\, Charley’s Pride: A Tribute to Black Country Music.\nBoth singles broke through the charts performing exceptionally well\, without the support of a major label. This is not at all surprising given the force of nature that is Danielia Cotton. It makes sense that she landed here\, in Country. Cotton who grew up in rural NJ on the Sourland Mountain has been dippin’ her toes in this creek since she started recording with songs like Fast\, 4 A Ride & Found Another from her first album\, Small White Town. “Danielia injects her own brand of indie soul and Americana on her version\, while also possessing the late great Charley’s dynamism” – Americana Blues Scene\nCotton is music legacy. Her mother and aunts were all professional vocalists and music is in her blood. Cotton considers the forthcoming album a tribute not just to one of her musical idols but also to her family\, especially her grandparents. Just as Pride forged a path as a Black artist in a predominately white world of Country music\, Cotton’s Pop Pop worked to become a respected and beloved figure in a small town with only a handful of Black residents\, a Small White Town where her family\, including her 103-year-old grandmother\, still reside.\nCotton started performing in her teens. She began crafting her own sound; an eclectic mix of the stuff that shaped her and the stuff that called her. Cotton’s magic is born of her ability to inhabit a song\, to dwell in its rhythms and melodies\, to live with the intricacies of its lyrical structure\, and to emerge with an articulate proclamation of personal and social truths. “With her command of rock and soul and the fearless spirit she brings to the music\, she ultimately does make you a believer” – No Depression Cotton has spent her entire career fighting for independence\, space to create her own sound and an audience that would journey with her. She released her first full length album\, Small White Town in 2005. With the freedom to shape her own vision and direction; she released critically acclaimed RareChild (2008)as a true indie artist followed by the Live Child EP (2009) in relatively quick succession. In 2012\, came Gun in Your Hand followed byWoodstock (2014)\, The Real Book (2014)\, A Prayer (2016)\, The Mystery of Me (2017)\, and Good Day (2022). Cotton is no stranger to the stories Country Music\ntraditionally tells… she’s lived some life; seen and been through some serious shit and this powerful bodyof work is what she did with it.“\nDemographers\, beware: Danielia Cotton doesn’t fit neatly into any box. She’s an African American\, from a nearly all – white town in New Jersey. She’s a singer and songwriter who can sound like a blues balladeer on one track\, and a hard-rock wailer on the next.” –NPR\nShe has done battle with the oppressive systems that plagued the lives of Pride and her Pop Pop. Cotton’s music has shone a light on deeply personal\, and simultaneously systemic and pervasive issues that have plagued folks like her for an eternity. Her music is expansive and will occupy every ounce of space she has carved out for it. She continues to evolve and challenge herself as a musician and it is evident in her catalog. Cotton’s creating music that spans time\, music deeply rooted in yesterday and passionately and powerfully crafted for tomorrow. \nMegan Wolffe\nWhether she’s singing to sold out audiences at The CUT with SAFETY 80’s\, or packing the jazz clubs of New England with her Amy Winehouse tribute\, Gloucester native Megan Wolffe delivers captivating stage presence and unrelenting vocal stamina and agility. She brings her original rock and soul band to The Cut for one night only\, in this special performance celebrating classic deep cut arrangements from artists such as Etta James\, Jimi Hendrix\, and Led Zeppelin alongside her original music supported by band members Jeff Buckridge\, Mike Miksis\, and Peter MacClean. \nMegan’s expansive repertoire and versatility has allowed her to collaborate with rock legend\, Barry Goodreau of the band Boston\, during the Rockin’ for Vets concert in 2016. She then joined the Joe Cocker legacy project Mad Dogs Unchained which includes original band members Cliff Goodwin ( Rober Palmer)\, Deric Dyer (Tina Turner)\, and Mitch Chakour ( Bonnie Raitt) and completed on a 22 date European tour\, with the group\, in 2018 as backing vocalist/percussionist. \nThat same year\, Wolffe founded her Amy Winehouse tribute band Back to Black LIVE with great success\, quickly selling out venues and later moving the production to Las Vegas in 2019. Just as the show was about to launch early 2020\, the pandemic forced Megan into an extended hiatus. After taking time off to a start a family and raise her two young children\, Megan has since returned to the Boston area and continues to perform the Amy act to adoring fans. \nBetween these milestones\, Megan has stayed committed to her songwriting and recording and is set to release her 1st new single\, since 2016\, this November. This showcase will be a highlight of Wolffe’s rock catalogue as well as feature songs from her 2016 album\, “This Girl”. Join us for this special double bill\, feat. powerhouse musicians Megan Wolffe and Daniella Cotton.
