SUMMARY:GA-20
DESCRIPTION:4/13/2024\n21+ / Positive I.D. Required. 7:30p doors / 8:15p show \nWINNER of 2023 Boston Music Award for Best Blues Artist \nIf you care to know how a rowdy 1950s Chicago juke joint sounded\, GA-20 are here to help. They keep things simple and fierce…scything\, growling riffs\, driving grooves\, blistering boogies and defiant vocals. – The Guardian (UK) \nGA-20 clearly is on to something big. It’s a movement\, a new traditional blues revival. The dynamic\, throwback blues trio are disciples of the place where traditional blues\, country and rock ‘n’ roll intersect. “We make records that we would want to listen to\,” says guitarist Matt Stubbs. “It’s our take on the song-based traditional electric blues we love.” Stubbs and guitarist/vocalist Pat Faherty\, and drummer Tim Carman have been at the forefront of this traditional blues revival since they first formed in 2018. It’s no wonder they skyrocketed to the top of the Billboard Blues Charts.

SUMMARY:Hidden Child of the Holocaust – An Historic Evening with Survivor Janet Applefield on Cape Ann
DESCRIPTION:On April 7th\, the Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann will have the honor to host Mrs. Janet Applefield as she shares her story of survival\, hope\, and resilience at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport\, MA. The lecture will be accompanied by a musical performance featuring the New England Klezmer\, which includes Yaeko Miranda\, Jim Prendergast & Sonny Barbato. \nJanet feels it is her mission to spread messages of how to live one’s life\, overcoming hatred with resilience\, grace\, dignity\, love and forgiveness by sharing her personal story of survival. Janet feels strongly about letting people know the horrors she went through so that future generations will make sure it will never happen again. We will unite to send a clear message against hate and intolerance. \n“To create a better future\, it is important to be aware of our past. Rabbi Avremi Raichik\, co-director of Chabad of Cape Ann\, revealed that 66% of American millennials either do not know or cannot remember what “Auschwitz” is. He further added that within the tragic stories of the Holocaust\, there are profound\, uplifting messages of hope and the strength of the human spirit. The event aims to help participants gain a deeper understanding of the disastrous effects of prejudice\, racism\, and hatred and how we can work together to prevent such things from happening in the future.” \nFor more details and to purchase tickets\, please visit www.capeannsurvivor.com \nPartnership and corporate sponsorship opportunities are available for this event. Reach out to Rabbi Avremi Raichik at Rabbi@Chabadcapeann.com for more details. \nAbout Janet \nBorn Gustawa Singer in 1935 in Nowy Targ\, Poland\, Janet and her family enjoyed a comfortable and stable life until the Nazi invasion in 1939. A clinical social worker\, Janet will recount how at just seven years old\, she witnessed her mother being transported to the death camp at Belzec and her father being assigned to forced labor. Janet witnessed unimaginable danger and the love\, courage\, and dedication of a few extraordinarily righteous citizens who saved her life. \nWhen Janet first arrived in the U.S. in 1947\, her father asked her to write everything she could remember since they were separated in August of 1942. During his life\, they never spoke about their collective torture. There is a lot of guilt in survivors whose stories didn’t include concentration camps\, so Janet considered herself someone not worthy of discussing. Her notes from her arrival were rediscovered by her family in 1984 and became a blueprint for self-discovery. Her written account\, originally in Polish\, is now recognized as “righteous among nations” at Yad Vashem in Israel and Janet can share her trauma and the traumas experienced by her family through this memoir\, interviews\, and speaking engagements. \nJanet speaks openly about her experiences as a child survivor of the Holocaust with thousands of people each year through regular speaking engagements with libraries\, schools\, houses of worship\, and government agencies. Her talks raise awareness and understanding of the dangers of prejudice and encourage audiences to stand up to any kind of discrimination and injustice. In 2021\, she was invited to tell her story before the Massachusetts State Legislature\, on the occasion of the passage of Bill H.692\, an act mandating statewide genocide education in all secondary schools. \nJanet documented her story in her forthcoming memoir\, Becoming Janet: Finding Myself in the Holocaust. You can read more about Janet on her website.

SUMMARY:Roomful of Blues
DESCRIPTION:Even though Roomful of Blues’ lineup has changed over the years\, the band has always been one of the tightest\, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eight-piece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon\, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. Singer Phil Pemberton brings his sweet and soulful vocals and adds another bright new dimension to the jazzy\, jump-blues musical roots. Their winning combination of jump\, swing\, blues\, R&B and soul remains their calling card\, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Along with bassist John Turner\, trumpeter Carl Gerhard\, drummer Mike Coffey\, keyboardist Rusty Scott\, baritone and tenor saxophonist Alek Razdan\, tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille\, Roomful keeps on rockin’ into 2024.

SUMMARY:Eric Hutchinson
DESCRIPTION:Singer/songwriter Eric Hutchinson is feeling nostalgic as he prepares to spend 2023\, and into 2024\, celebrating the 15th anniversary of his debut album\, Sounds Like This. “It’s a special record for me – one that changed my life\, my career\, and introduced my music to a new audience I could only have dreamt of\,” the Takoma Park\, MD native reflects. To commemorate the anniversary\, Eric has announced that he will be playing shows all year long\, performing the album in its entirety. He’s also revealed that Sounds Like This will finally be available on vinyl for the first time ever. Furthering the deep-dive into his past\, Eric also released a new single\, “Sad Songs”\, a forgotten pop tune he wrote and performed regularly on tour in 2008 but never got the chance to record until now. \n“I’m thrilled to spend 2023 reflecting on how my life and the world has changed in 15 years\,” Eric says. “I hope people will join me on the trip down memory lane. Maybe bring a long-lost college friend to one of my concerts\, or give Sounds Like This a re-listen for the first time in forever and remember what life was like back in 2008 – when Barack Obama was elected president\, BlackBerrys were all the rage\, and watching Netflix meant getting little red DVD packages in the mail.” \nSounds Like This ended up being a chart-topping album released by Warner Bros. Records\, but it almost never happened. Just before Eric recorded those songs\, he says he was a frustrated kid who was seriously considering quitting music. “I had spent several years toiling away on the road\, playing tragically low-attended shows\, and recording several failed albums that were not ready for prime time\,” Eric remembers. But as discouraged as he was at the time\, Eric says he hated the idea of telling his friends and family that he had quit music. “I decided to dig down deep and make one last-ditch attempt to record a professional debut that lived up to the legacies of my musical heroes like Stevie Wonder\, The Beatles\, Paul Simon\, and Michael Jackson\,” Eric recalls. “I went for broke\, literally\, to capture the music that I was hearing in my head – the songs that represented me at that time. I could never have imagined where those songs would take me.” \nToday\, Eric is a seasoned musician and touring artist who’s released eight albums\, performed in all 50 states and experimented with diverse kinds of musical genres like pop\, folk\, reggae\, alternative rock\, and jazz. Still\, more often than not\, Eric says if people are familiar with his music\, they know the songs from Sounds Like This. “I love getting to hear stories from so many people who remember growing up with the music\,” Eric says. “I’ll meet people and they’ll tell me about watching the music video for “Rock & Roll” on VH1 while getting ready for school\, or listening to “Food Chain” on a burned mix CD that an older sister made to celebrate getting her driver’s license\, or singing “Ok\, It’s Alright With Me” in their college a capella group. I’m proud of this album I made many years ago\, but I’m even more gratified by the part my music got to play in so many other people’s lives. I’m hoping I get to celebrate Sounds Like This with all those people on this tour.”
