SUMMARY:Our Founding Mothers and Fathers: More Revolutionary War Connections to the Salem Witch Trials
DESCRIPTION:Each year we meet hundreds\, if not thousands\, of individuals who can trace their family line back to the Salem witch trials. We often tell visitors that the English colonists of 1692 were the founding fathers and mothers of our country. They were themselves descended from the earliest settlers\, who were establishing a new country and took the biblical instruction “be fruitful and multiply” to heart. \nIt is fascinating to consider the many connections between the Salem witch trials and the Revolutionary War generation\, particularly the one most often referred to as our “Founding Fathers.” Part II of our Rev250 lecture series will focus on four more notable connections\, including witchcraft skeptic Robert Calef\, Ipswich court clerk Thomas Wade\, condemned witch Mary Bradbury\, and accuser Bathsheba Pope. \nJoin us on Thursday\, September 17th at 1:00 pm for this free\, virtual program.\nRegistration is required for this event.

SUMMARY:Tanya Donelly
DESCRIPTION:Tanya Donelly first emerged in the indie-rock landscape in the early 1980s\, co-founding Throwing Muses (with stepsister Kristin Hersh)\, then later co-forming The Breeders\, before leading her own band Belly in the 1990s. With Belly she had her biggest commercial breakthrough\, notably with the single “Feed the Tree”\, earning critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination. \nAfter that success\, Tanya embarked on a solo career marked by lyrical richness\, melodic innovation\, and a shifting musical palette that embraces folk\, country\, ambient\, and indie pop textures. Her solo debut\, Lovesongs for Underdogs (1997)\, established her distinct songwriting voice outside of her band projects. \nThis Hungry Life (originally released in 2006) is a live album recorded in a unique intimate setting — a closed hotel in Bellows Falls\, Vermont — featuring largely new material\, plus a few covers and re-imagined tracks. The album reflects maturity in both voice and subject matter: themes of home\, family\, identity\, and the passage of time are woven through in her warm vocals and intimate performance style\, with the live setting giving the songs immediacy and connection. \nMarking the 20th anniversary of This Hungry Life offers a chance to revisit her work at this pivotal moment: affirming her legacy in indie rock; celebrating her evolution as an artist who has never stopped refining her craft; and presenting This Hungry Life not just as a document of a live show but as a milestone in her ongoing journey — both musically and personally. \nThe Guardian:\n“Recorded live in a disused Vermont hotel\, Donelly’s vocal\, full of personality\, soars brightly over the audience and fills you with affection for hearth and for home.” The Guardian
