Mavis Staples
2024-08-28 20:00 | The Cabot, 286 Cabot Street, Beverly, CA, 01915, United States
Hailed by NPR as “one of America’s defining voices of freedom and peace,” Staples is the kind of once-in-a-generation artist whose impact on music and culture would be difficult to overstate.
“I’M THE MESSENGER,” MAVIS STAPLES SAYS ON THE EVE OF HER 80TH BIRTHDAY. “THAT’S MY JOB—IT HAS BEEN FOR MY WHOLE LIFE—AND I CAN’T JUST GIVE UP WHILE THE STRUGGLE’S STILL ALIVE. WE’VE GOT MORE WORK TO DO, SO I’M GOING TO KEEP ON GETTING STRONGER AND KEEP ON DELIVERING MY MESSAGE EVERY SINGLE DAY.”
That message—a clarion call to love, to faith, to justice, to brotherhood, to joy—lies at the heart of ‘We Get By,’ Staples’ spectacular twelfth studio album and first full-length collaboration with multi-GRAMMY Award-winner Ben Harper. Backed by her longtime touring band, Staples breathes extraordinary life into Harper’s compositions on the record, delivering roof-raising performances with both a youthful vigor and a commanding maturity. The arrangements here are spare but weighty, matched by Harper’s suitably lean and thoughtful production, and Staples seizes the opportunity to showcase her remarkable and continued evolution as an artist, one still growing and exploring more than half a century into her storied career. ‘We Get By’ is undoubtedly a timely collection, arriving such as it does in the face of deep social divisions and heightened political tensions, but like everything Staples touches, it’s also larger than any particular moment, a timeless appeal to the better angels of our nature that’s universal in its reach and unwavering in its assurance of better things to come.

Graham Nash: More Evening of Songs and Stories
2024-08-30 20:00 - 22:00 | Shalin Liu Performance Center, 37 Main Street, Rockport, MA, 01966, United States
Legendary artist Graham Nash, as a founding member of both the Hollies and Crosby, Stills and Nash, is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. He has seen rock history unfold at some of its seminal moments – from the launch of the British Invasion to the birth of the Laurel Canyon movement a year later. An extraordinary Grammy Award® winning renaissance artist – and self-described “simple man” – Nash was inducted twice into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, for his work with CSN and his work as a solo artist.
Towering above virtually everything that Graham Nash has accomplished in his long and multi-faceted career, stands the litany of songs that he has written and introduced to the soundtrack of our lives for nearly six decades.
Nash’s remarkable body of work began with his contributions to the Hollies opus from 1964 to ’68, including “Stop Stop Stop,” and “On A Carousel,” among others.
Graham will be joined on stage by Todd Caldwell (keyboards and vocals), Adam Minkoff (bass, drums, guitars, and vocals), and Zach Djanikian (guitars, mandolin, drums, and vocals), performing favorites from across his sixty-year career.

TUBA SKINNY
2024-09-01 16:00 - 20:00 | Shalin Liu Performance Center, 37 Main Street, Rockport, MA, 01966, United States
The pride of New Orleans’ vibrant and fertile trad jazz scene, Tuba Skinny returns to Rockport for two shows! The beloved Crescent City collective started out over a decade ago as show-stopping French Quarter street buskers and have since turned into one of New Orleans’ greatest musical ambassadors, touring the world with their delicious, spirited takes on Depression-era blues, spirituals, ragtime and traditional jazz. They’re touring in support of their joyful new release, Hot Town.
“masterful and exuberant”- OffBeat Magazine
Officially forming in in 2009, Tuba Skinny has steadily evolved from a loose collection of street musicians into an ensemble dedicated to bringing the traditional New Orleans sound to audiences around the world. Before becoming Tuba Skinny, the core of the band played in an assortment of bands on the streets of the French Quarter in the years following Hurricane Katrina. Those bands, the folkie punk Dean Man Street Orchestra (which included singer-songwriter Alynda Segarra of the acclaimed Hurray for the Riff Raff) and Loose Marbles both had an enormous effect on the musical culture of New Orleans, particularly its burgeoning revivalist jazz scene. From the start, Tuba Skinny’s home was on Royal Street in the French Quarter, drawing huge crowds for their jubilant hipster take on trad jazz. They soon began touring the country and then even Europe, playing in clubs and busking around city centers.
Drawing on a wide range of musical influences, their sound evokes the rich musical heritage of their New Orleans home. The band has gained a loyal following through their distinctive sound, their commitment to reviving long-lost songs, and their barnstorming live performances. They’ve released 12 full-length records, the most recent ones being 2019’s Some Kinda Skake, 2020’s Quarantine Album: Unreleased B-sides, Magnolia Stroll, and the just released Hot Town.
WINDOW NOTICE: Due to the volume level of certain concerts, the curtain may be closed over the window for acoustical purposes. All efforts will be made to keep the view available prior to the concert.
Happens on the following Dates:
Sep 1, 2024, 4:00pm to 5:00pm Timezone: EDT

The In Bloom Listening Series is an intimate listening experience with incredible local talent. On the bill for September 5th we have Kimaya Diggs, Joe Wilkins, and Connor Hennessey.
Kimaya Diggs
Kimaya Diggs is an emerging artist and songwriter from Western Massachusetts. Her new album “Quincy” explores Diggs’ unique style of Soul, Folk, and R&B.

Joe Wilkins
Joe Wilkins is a Cape Ann based singer/songwriter and multi instrumentalist. Joe writes songs about real life, often with stories about real people, as well as situations we can all relate to and places we’ve all been. His lyrics are universally accessible, and create a sense of really being present in the narrative of the song. With skillfully interwoven imagery of past and present, Joe’s songs blend Americana roots with a modern folk, and at times, pop sensibility.

Conor Hennessy
I have tried not writing songs – it never ends well. It is the only thing I like doing and sort of have a knack for. I try to get better every day. I have lived in Massachusetts my whole life, and enjoy the characters and going-on’s around me. I love turning them into stories. Sometimes I don’t even have to exaggerate much. I have a friend I who’s advice I take seriously, and she said I should have a bio. I don’t really know what else to put here except life is too short to get to work on time, and time is too precious to lose.

NATURALLY 7
2024-09-06 20:00 - 21:00 | Shalin Liu Performance Center, 37 Main Street, Rockport, MA, 01966, United States
The hills are alive with the sound of … NATURALLY 7! Yes, the boys are going to the movies to produce some of the greatest movie music ever in their own amazing style. Back by popular demand, a cappella sensation Naturally 7 has catapulted the genre well into the 21st century by reinventing it with their distinct style of “vocal play.”
Stunning! Sensational! Fantastic!—those are just a few of the reactions when someone experiences NATURALLY 7 for the first time. It’s a universal language because that same reaction has erupted throughout Europe, the USA, Asia, Australia and just about everywhere around this music-loving planet.
It would be easy to say that they are the unsung heroes of music but that would be totally wrong because NATURALLY 7 are not ‘unsung’ and they certainly can sing – plus some! They not only provide the voices of song but they provide the sound of the instruments as well! Yes, they brilliantly create their own backing band without any real instruments at all, and guess what? The sound they create is Stunning! Sensational! Fantastic! Really? Oh yes! That’s why NATURALLY 7 has toured in support of Michael Bublé so many times as well as being personally requested to work with global stars like Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Ritchie, Quincy Jones, Coldplay and numerous other greats. What makes them so special? Why are they in such demand and constantly being asked on guest on major TV shows all over the world? It’s partly because of who they are, but mostly, it’s because of what they do. They are an a cappella group plus some! Perhaps we should ask founder, musical director arranger, baritone and pretty talented rapper Roger Thomas to introduce us properly to the magnificent NATURALLY 7.
“It really began when my brother Warren and I moved to New York from Manchester—yes, we were two English kids. Our dad had a gospel group which had continually been touring Britain before we moved to the States and so, as you can imagine, we were brought up in a musical family and also a musical family that performed. “Well we grew up properly in the Bronx and then in Queens and just about anyone who was anyone in music appeared in New York so we were there taking it all on board and loving Hip Hop which was in its early days then. So our influences were Dad, the stars of the day, music and the thrill of performance. We have had some great stepping stones on this journey. We have had many great music stars come to see us – that is very flattering and they come up to speak to you afterwards and you feel like asking for their autograph. We are both a visual and an audio act and at first I thought we would never be suitable for radio but I was wrong and we are often asked to do appear on radio shows and we love it. It is so very different.”
“I am often asked what we do and how we do it. Well, what we do is sing, but at the same time, we each impersonate musical instruments and create a wall of sound without anyone playing anything. We are also very visual. We don’t just stand like a choir but use the stage and bump into each other now and then!”
“We have had quite a few albums released and another one being worked on, which is a departure for us, but we are looking forward to it. That is one of the keys to us keeping so fresh—we are always looking at new challenges, new numbers, new places. It keeps the journey still exciting for us and hopefully that infects everyone who comes to see us. We love what we do and we love audiences becoming part of the show. We even enjoy the travelling and whether it is Europe, Australia, Asia, the US or anywhere else, we also leave wishing to come back as soon as possible. Music is such great therapy, it embodies love, fun and a vibrancy that sweeps away problems and brings people together to celebrate the gift of life.”
Please Note: For some non-classical concerts, the window behind the stage may need to be covered for acoustical purposes. We do not always know which artists will need the window closed, but at a certain level of amplification, it is necessary.
