SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Ed & Jo Hopper’s Houses\, Views from Portuguese Hill
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 8\, 2025\n10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nCape Ann Museum Courtyard\, Downtown Campus\n27 Pleasant St\, Gloucester\, MA\, 01930\n$10 for CAM Members\, $20 for non-members\nRegistration Required \nExplore the specific sites in the area of Gloucester known as Portuguese Hill depicted by renowned American realist painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967). Hopper is known to have painted in Gloucester on five separate occasions in the first decades of the 20th century. His paintings from this period capture the local landscape and architecture in a loosely rendered\, light-filled style and are considered by many to be some of his finest works. Also included are sites painted by Josephine Nivison Hopper (1883-1968)\, Hopper’s wife and artist in her own right\, whose work gained recognition long before her future husband’s success. Learn how this hillside neighborhood that the Hoppers travelled together inspired their artwork\, as well as the role the area plays in Gloucester history. \nIf you have enjoyed one of our Hopper’s Houses Downtown tours\, the Portuguese Hill tour takes you to another side of the city to see different views. It’s well worth the experience! \nStroll with a CAM Docent for about 1 1/2 hours towards Portuguese Hill and back to downtown Gloucester. This walking tour includes steep stairs and a length of the hill. \nWhere to Meet?\nThough the Downtown Campus is currently closed for renovations until the spring of 2026\, the tour will gather at the courtyard attached to the Museum on 27 Pleasant Street. Tours are light rain or shine. \nPhoto Credit: CAM docent leading walking tour\, CAM staff photo.

The four day festival has become an annual destination for over 15\,000 music lovers every year and was started as an AIDS benefit. It continues as a benefit for arts and education. To date\, the event has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and is now one of three Grassroots Festivals; the Bi-annual Shakori Hills fest in North Carolina and Virginia Key festival in Florida. In 2016 GrassRoots Culture Camp was introduced in Trumansburg\, New York as four days of music\, art\, dance and movement workshops\, including nightly dinners and dances.

Required \nTHE DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND \nCelebrating over 45 years since their founding in 1977\, the GRAMMY Award-winning New Orleans-based Dirty Dozen Brass Band has taken the traditional foundation of brass band music and incorporated it into a blend of genres\, including bebop jazz\, funk and R&B/soul. This unique sound\, described by the band as a “musical gumbo”\, has allowed the Dirty Dozen to tour across five continents and more than thirty countries\, record twelve studio albums and collaborate with a range of artists from Modest Mouse to Widespread Panic to Norah Jones. Forty-five plus years later\, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world-famous music machine whose name is synonymous with genre-bending romps and high-octane performances. \nRoger Lewis – Baritone Sax/Vocals\nGregory Davis – Trumpet/Vocals\nKirk Joseph – Sousaphone Trevarri\nHuff-Boone – Tenor Sax/Vocals\nStephen Walker – Trombone/Vocals\nJulian Addison – Drums\nTakeshi Shimmura – Guitar \nTHE HISTORY OF THE DIRTY DOZEN BRASS BAND In 1977\, The Dirty Dozen Social Aid and Pleasure Club in New Orleans began showcasing a traditional Crescent City brass band. It was a joining of two proud\, but antiquated\, traditions at the time: social aid and pleasure clubs dated back over a century to a time when black southerners could rarely afford life insurance\, and the clubs would provide proper funeral arrangements. Brass bands\, early predecessors of jazz as we know it\, would often follow the funeral procession playing somber dirges\, then once the family of the deceased was out of earshot\, burst into jubilant dance tunes as casual onlookers danced in the streets. By the late ’70s\, few of either existed. The Dirty Dozen Social Aid and Pleasure Club decided to assemble this group as a house band\, and over the course of these early gigs\, the seven-member ensemble adopted the venue’s name: The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.

DESCRIPTION:8/14/25\nReserved Seating $59.50\nStanding $39.50\n6:30pm Doors\, 7:30pm Show\n21+\, Positive I.D. Required \nDJ Logic \nThe theorem of turntablist as musician has been long proven in the capable hands of DJ LOGIC\, whom with jazz as his foundation has become a wax innovator by crossing genres and mixing his sound across the map. As one of the world’s most accomplished turntablist’s\, DJ LOGIC is widely credited for introducing jazz into the hip – hop realms and is considered by most as a highly respected session musician and an innovative bandleader.\nSince his emergence in the early nineties amidst the Bronx hip-hop scene\, the New York City based deejay has been amassing a veritable mountain of collaborations\, including full fledged bands with members of BLUES TRAVELER (THE JOHN POPPER PROJECT FEATURING DJ LOGIC)\, a trio with STEVE MOLITZ & FREEKBASS (HEADTRONICS)\, a jazz project with Georgian prodigy BEKA GOCHIASVILI\, to being a member of the Grammy winning Arturo O’Farrill & The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra’s The Offense of the Drum album. He also has a long list of other collaborations with artists ranging from the likes of: MEDESKI MARTIN AND WOOD\, CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE\, O.A.R.\, CARLY SIMON\, MARCUS MILLER\, JACK JOHNSON\, VERNON REID\, WARREN HAYNES\, CHARLIE HUNTER\, JACK DeJOHNETTE\, JOHN MAYER\, BEN HARPER\, MOS DEF and THE ROOTS\, to name but a few.\nDJ LOGIC and his role as an electronic-music ambassador keeps him at the top of his game. Whether the scratch artist instructs tablas to flirt with drum ‘n’ bass (such as on his NINA SIMONE and BILLY HOLIDAY remixes found on Sony Legacy’s Remixed and Reimagined volumes) \, or while meshing free styling MC’s with Afro-Cuban rhythms (such as on ‘Share Worldwide Funk’ – a remix produced for JACK DeJOHNETTE and Golden Beams Collected\, Volume 1 ) or while remixing tracks for rock bands such as MOON TAXI\, LOGIC can always be found paying homage to his predecessors while contributing his vision to the deejay genre. \nG. Love \nG. Love & Special Sauce is an American Hip-Hop Blues band known for its unique fusion of hip-hop\, blues\, funk\, and soul. Formed in 1993 in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, the band originally featured Garrett Dutton\, aka G. Love\, as the lead vocalist and guitarist\, Jeffrey Clemens on drums\, and Jim Prescott on bass. The trio quickly gained attention for their laid-back\, groovy style and G. Love’s unique vocal delivery\, blending rap-like spoken word with bluesy singing. Their debut self-titled album\, G. Love & Special Sauce\, was released in 1994 on Epic Records and included the hit single “Cold Beverage\,” which became popular on alternative radio stations and MTV\, solidifying their presence in the music scene. The band’s style has been described as a mix of “slacker blues” and “alternative hip-hop\,” as they frequently incorporate elements of 90s hip-hop beats with classic blues rhythms. Over the years\, G. Love & Special Sauce has released numerous albums\, including Coast to Coast Motel (1995)\, Yeah\, It’s That Easy (1997)\, The Electric Mile (2001) and the GRAMMY nominated The Juice (2020). Their sound evolved to include more soul\, R&B\, and rock influences\, though they retained their laid-back vibe and clever lyrical play. Their 2014 album Sugar saw a reunion of the original lineup after several years\, and they continued to tour and produce music with a loyal fan base. Known for their energetic live performances\, G. Love & Special Sauce has played at festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. Garrett Dutton also frequently collaborates with other artists\, including Jack Johnson\, with whom he shares a similar vibe\, and has released solo projects that dive deeper into his blues influences. G. Love & Special Sauce remains a beloved name in the music scene\, blending genres in a way that feels fresh and authentic. \nRay Paczkowski\nKeyboards\, Trey Anastasio Band \nBen Atkind\nDrummer\, formerly of Goose \nNate Edgar\nBassist The Nth Power

SUMMARY:VERSE/VISUAL 2025
DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\n“VERSE/VISUAL”: A Free and Open to All Weekend of Art Inspired by Art returns for its seventh season in Ipswich and Haverhill.\nwww.versevisual.com\nCynthia August\, Founder and Director 978-998-2228 cynthia@cynthiaaugust.com\nKathryn Zelkowitz\, Producer and Exhibition Coordinator 978-810-6811 kazelkowitz@gmail.com\nIpswich\, Massachusetts\nStep into a vibrant and lively conversation about inspiration at VERSE/VISUAL\, a free community art festival happening August 15-17 at EBSCO Hall\, 5 Peatfield Street\, Ipswich MA and September 26-28 at the Haverhill Art Walk.\nSeventy-four visionary artists have been paired to create brand-new works inspired by each other’s previous pieces—resulting in a dazzling display of artistic dialogue across mediums.\nBeyond the gallery walls\, the weekend will pulse with live music\, hands-on community art projects\, and opportunities for connection and creativity for all ages.\nDon’t miss your chance to witness how art sparks art—and find your own inspiration.\nVERSE/VISUAL is a collaborative art experience where inspiration becomes the medium.\nAt its core\, VERSE/VISUAL is a creative exchange: each participating artist submits a completed work of any medium – a painting\, a poem\, a short film\, a sculpture\, a song\, a performance piece\, maybe even a table! – which is presented in the exhibition for its own artistic merit. But that’s just the beginning. Each of these works is then given anonymously to another participating artist\, who creates an entirely new piece in response.\nThe result is a dynamic pairing of “inspiration” and “exploration” works of two creations in conversation. Sometimes the link between the works is direct and visible\, echoing a color palette\, a phrase\, or a material. Other times\, it’s conceptual\, abstract\, even surprising\, like a meditation on theme\, emotion\, or form that reveals the breadth of interpretation and imagination.\nTogether\, these artistic pairings create an ecosystem of influence\, connection\, and transformation. The final exhibition is more than a showcase of individual talent. It is a living map of creative lineage. Viewers are invited into a rich\, layered experience: to trace the threads of inspiration\, to reflect on how ideas evolve\, and to witness the many ways artists see\, feel\, and respond to the world and to each other.\nVERSE/VISUAL is not just a show. It’s a journey. A dialogue. An invitation into the heart of creative process.\nAdmission is free. All are welcome.\nVERSE/VISUAL IPSWICH\nAugust 15-17\, 2025\nEBSCO Hall\, 5 Peatfield Street\, Ipswich\, MA\nFriday\, August 15th Opening Reception 6:30pm – 9pm\nSaturday\, August 16th 10am – 6pm\nMusic by Chuck Doran and Friends 2pm – 4:30pm\nSunday\, August 17th 10am – 4pm\nMusic by Mile Lane 11am – 1pm\nMini VERSE/VISUAL experience for all ages – try it yourself!\nVERSE/VISUAL 2025 is made possible in part through a grant from Mass Cultural and is sponsored by the Institution for Savings.

SUMMARY:Heavy Metal Horns - Live at The Cut Album Release Party
DESCRIPTION:8/15/25\nReserved Seating $45\nGA Standing $30\n7:00pm doors / 8:00pm show\n21+\, Positive I.D. Required \nThe Heavy Metal Horns came onto the Boston music scene in the late 80’s and thrived throughout the 90’s. They quickly became one of top bands in the city – winning awards\, selling out shows and playing major jazz festivals across the country. The horn section played on Extreme’s “Stop The World” tour in 1993. This led to being signed to the Japanese record label Polystar Records. The band toured the U.S. over the next five years and continued to play until early 2000. \nIn 2016 the legendary club Johnny D’s announced it was closing its doors. The club asked if the Heavy Metal Horns could play a show as one of the clubs most popular acts. This show was amazing and the audience said we had to keep playing. Every year since 2016 the band plays a show. \nThe Heavy Metal Horns sold out big boat cruises\, The Cabot Theater in Beverly\, MA three times. Last year the band performed at The Cut Live in Gloucester\, MA. This show was recorded and “Heavy Metal Horns Live From The Cut” will be released in August 2025. The band is always adding new music. \nThe new release features new songs from Thaddedus Hogarth\, Peter Calo and Felix Rentschler. The Heavy Metal Horns are still alive and kicking after all these years and sounding great. Check us out on SOSS Records.
