ROCKPORT CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL: THE WESTERLIES
2024-06-16 17:00 - 18:30 | Shalin Liu Performance Center, 37 Main Street, Rockport, MA, 01966, United States
The Westerlies, “an arty quartet…mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk” (New York Times), navigate jazz, classical and folk with the precision of a string quartet, the audacity of a rock band, and the charm of a family sing-along.
The Westerlies present a program of living composers whose music they have championed in recent years. Pulitzer-Prize winner Caroline Shaw’s landmark string quartet Entr’acte, the centerpiece of The Westerlies’ 2023 release, is presented alongside the title track from their 2020 release Wherein Lies the Good by Robin Holcomb. The program continues with folk songs adapted from Sam Amidon and Nico Muhly, whose genre-expanding work has inspired The Westerlies since the ensemble’s formation at The Juilliard School over a decade ago. The Westerlies present this body of music with their signature precision and virtuosity, and in the process, craft a sound that is warm and tactile, engaging and expressive, at once familiar and completely their own.
THE WESTERLIES
The Westerlies, “an arty quartet…mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk” (New York Times) are a New York-based brass quartet comprised of Riley Mulherkar and Chloe Rowlands on trumpet, and Andy Clausen and Addison Maye-Saxon on trombone. From Carnegie Hall to Coachella, The Westerlies navigate a wide array of venues and projects with the precision of a string quartet, the audacity of a rock band, and the charm of a family sing-along.
“Chamber music with bracing melodies and, crucially, an undeniable sense of fun.” LA Times
Formed in 2011, the self-described “accidental brass quartet” takes its name from the prevailing winds that travel from the West to the East. The Westerlies explore jazz, roots, and chamber music influences to create the rarest of hybrids: music that is both “folk-like and composerly, lovely and intellectually rigorous” (NPR Music).
The ensemble has produced numerous critically acclaimed albums of genre-defying music. 2022 saw the release of the Songbook Vol. 2 and Live at TOURISTS on Westerlies Records, the ensemble’s in-house record label. The previous year was a prolific year for the ensemble, with the release of Fireside Brass: A Westerlies Holiday (Westerlies Records), Songbook Vol. 1 (Westerlies Records), and Bricolage (Westerlies Records), a collaborative album of improvisations with pianist/composer Conrad Tao. 2021 also saw the release of This Land, the ensemble’s collaboration with GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Theo Bleckmann. Sought-after collaborators, The Westerlies are also featured on recordings by Fleet Foxes (Nonesuch), Big Red Machine (Jagjaguwar), Vieux Farka Touré (Six Degrees Records), Common (Lakeshore) and Dave Douglas (Greenleaf).
Education and community engagement are core elements of The Westerlies’ mission. In 2021, The Westerlies were named the inaugural small ensemble-in-residence at the School of Jazz and Contemporary Music at The New School. The Westerlies also produce an annual music festival in Seattle called Westerlies Fest, which combines evening performances featuring numerous guest artists, an all-day open-to-the-public creative music jamboree, and workshops in local public schools. The Westerlies have engaged students of all ages and abilities around the country with their innovative assemblies and masterclasses, promoting the values of cooperation and inclusion through music.

In The Heights
2024-06-15 20:00 - 22:00, 2024-06-14 20:00 - 22:00 | Firehouse Center for the Arts, 1 Market Square, Newburyport, MA, 01950, United States
The unbearable July heat has the denizens of NYC’s Washington Heights neighborhood in the streets shouting, “Que calor!” Several established businesses have closed. Housing costs – and racial tensions – are on the rise. And the once vibrant, now dwindling community must rally together to preserve their culture and their way of life.
Lin Manuel-Miranda’s music-filled love letter to the community of his youth, In The Heights, tells the story of the corner bodega where the coffee is hot, light, and sweet, the apartment windows that are always open, and the cool breeze that carries the percussive rhythm of the bustling city and three generations of dreams. And for this community on the brink of change, it tells a story of hope, heritage, and healing love.

ROCKPORT CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL: FILM: THE LAST REPAIR SHOP
2024-06-15 11:00 - 12:30 | Shalin Liu Performance Center, 37 Main Street, Rockport, MA, 01966, United States
Once commonplace in the United States, today Los Angeles is by far the largest and one of the last American cities to provide free and freely repaired musical instruments to its public schoolchildren, a continuous service since 1959. From Academy Award®-nominated directing duo Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers, The Last Repair Shop grants an all-access pass to the nondescript downtown warehouse where a dwindling handful of devoted craftspeople keep over 80,000 student instruments in good repair.
This film, which won the 2024 Academy Award for Best Documentary Short, tells the story of four unassuming heroes who ensure no student is deprived of the joy of music. It is also a reminder of how music can be the best medicine, stress reliever and even an escape from poverty.
Free, reservations are encouraged.

Epic in sound and kaleidoscopic in vision, Boston Music Award winning band “Entrain” is the eclectic Martha’s Vineyard-based group that has been thrilling critics and fans alike for decades. Led by drummer/founder Tom Major and guitarist Brian Alex, their collective resume includes stints with such diverse players as Bo Diddley, Bob Weir, James Taylor, Carly Simon, Donna Summer, Missing Persons, Chuck Berry, Southside Johnny, and a one-time sit-in performance with President Bill Clinton.
Entrain shifts effortlessly between musical styles – from rock, blues, calypso and ska, to zydeco, jazz and funk – often within the same song. Their latest record “Reason To Feel Good” has enjoyed heavy rotation among numerous stations, including regular plays on Kenny Chesney’s “No Shoes Radio”. Entrain’s feel-good single “Lucky Just to Be Alive,” was number 2 in WMVY radio’s top 25 songs, only behind superstar Adele.

Jon Langford and The Bright Shiners with Jesse Ahern
2024-06-13 19:00 - 23:30 | The Cut, 177 Main Street , Gloucester, MA, 01930, United States
6/13/24
21+, Positive I.D. Required. 7:00p Doors / 8:00p show
Jon Langford and The Bright Shiners is a new project featuring welsh fundamentalist punk rocker Jon Langford (Mekons, 3 Johns, Waco Brothers etc.) teamed up with charismatic jazz singer and experimental keyboardist Alice Spencer (Shinyribs, Barkers), fellow Four Lost Soul and guitar wizard John Szymanski and longtime deputy Mekon Tamineh Gueramy on violin and great hair. The album comes out on Tiny Global Productions of Valencia (Nightingales, House of All) this April and is called Where It Really Starts.
When Jesse Ahern walks onstage, he looks like a regular guy — albeit one with a Gretsch guitar strapped across his body and an anchor tattoo under his right eye. As he tears through his set, easily rousing brand new crowds to shout his choruses back in his face, it’s clear Jesse could be everybody’s friend.
Ahern’s tunes hold high the clenched fists of the working class. Others put on full display the raw, open heart of a man who is dedicated to love, and has known enough loss to cherish what he has at home. Still others reveal the tender, protective arms of a father who misses his kids when he’s off touring the world.
