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.

SUMMARY:DJ Logic and Friends with special guest G. Love
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.

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.

Fresh off the release of their acclaimed debut album Girl Dinner\, this all-female supergroup delivers a must-see night of high-energy musicianship and irreverent charm. \nSince exploding onto the Colorado scene in 2021\, the four women of the supergroup Big Richard have been on a wild ride. Although they showed up to their first gig armed with homemade puff paint t-shirts\, a load of crass jokes\, and all dressed intentionally like Stevie Nicks\, from the first few notes of their tight vocal harmonies\, dazzling string virtuosity\, and clever arrangements\, no one had any choice but to take them seriously. \nDetermined to be more than a one-night stand\, Big Richard hit the road. They slapped as hard as possible on the festival circuit\, worked up their stamina on nationwide headlining tours\, and left a wake of die-hard Big Richard Heads across the country swooning for their honest songwriting\, chilling vocals\, and fiddle-driven barn-burners. \nFueled by a steady diet of gas station snacks\, Big Richard is currently touring their debut full-length studio album Girl Dinner\, following a whirlwind year that included performances on PBS’ the Cavern Sessions\, NPR’s World Cafe\, Telluride Bluegrass Festival\, Delfest\, Bourbon and Beyond\, Jam Cruise\, and New Year’s Eve at the Ryman in Nashville. \nThey often refer to themselves as the gremlins of the bluegrass world\, and the gremlins are: platinum recording artist Bonnie Sims\, who rips the mandolin and smells like Snoop Dogg’s sock drawer; road dog Eve Panning\, who toured extensively with the fiddle band Barrage and has trained her dog to murder on command; bassist Hazel Royer\, plucked from the sidewalk in front of Berklee\, can probably communicate with crows; and Dr. Joy Adams\, who would just rather be skiing.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Historic Dogtown\, A Walk Back in Time
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, August 17\, 2025\n10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nBabson Boulder Parking\nCherry Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930 \n$10 for CAM Members\, $20 for non-members\nRegistration Required \nOn Cape Ann\, the name “Dogtown” conjures up many things — vast woodlands and trails; stone walls and cellar holes; tales of witches and widows; an ill-fated bullfighter; pastures\, picnics and blueberries; a sea of rocks. Dogtown is all of these things and more. But first\, it is a place where proud people once lived and worked\, at the center of Gloucester\, for nearly 150 years – until it became “Dogtown” and died out. \nThis tour will take you down the main roads of this early settlement\, to meet some of the people\, see where they lived and hear their stories. You will learn how Dogtown got its name\, why people left\, and how it has changed in the 200 years since the last house came down. You will hear about writers and artists who were inspired here\, and reservoirs that were built here. Finally\, you will see some of the inspirational word-boulders along the trails that are the lasting legacy of entrepreneur and philanthropist Roger Babson (1875-1967)\, and a symbol of the enduring nature of this special place called Dogtown. \nThe Historic Dogtown walking tour is almost three miles and will take approximately two hours. The route is over hiking trails that are generally easy\, but uneven\, with rocks and roots underfoot. The terrain is up and down throughout\, over gentle hills. Hiking attire and closed footwear advised; walking poles are useful. Bring water and insect repellent\, as they are not supplied. *This tour is not suitable if you have mobility concerns. \nPhoto Credit: Marsden Hartley (1877-1943).

SUMMARY:Albert Castiglia
DESCRIPTION:Reserved Seating $34.50 + $6.95 service fee\nGA Standing $19.50 + $6.95 service fee\n6:30pm Doors / 7:00pm Show\n18+ \nAlbert Castiglia pronounced “ka-STEEL-ya” is Keepin On With the release of his 5th CD.\nCastiglia’s history is as colorful as his home town of Miami\, Florida. He got a big break after meeting Junior Wells in 1996\, and became Junior’s lead guitar player before Wells died in 1998. After Wells passed\, he toured with Sandra Hall. Returning to South Florida after launching his solo career releasing his first CD\, Burn (2002)\, a self-release\, collaborating with his long time friend\, Graham Wood Drout. Drout’s songs became the perfect vehicle for Castiglia’s soulful vocals. In 2006\, he released A Stone’s Throw\, his second album and first release for Blues Leaf Record. Castiglia and Drout also released a live CD together\, titled Bittersweet Sessions\, in 2005.His 2008 CD\, These are the Days contained five original Castiglia songs\, including a tribute to his mentor Junior Wells\, “Godfather of the Blues.” The cover songs from These are the Days paid tribute to a wide range of styles and artists. These are the Days earned him a Blues Music Award nomination for “Song of the Year” for his original\, “Bad Year Blues.” Castiglia was nominated again by the Illinois Blues Blast Awards and walked away a winner for “Song of the Year” for “Bad Year Blues\,” as well as being nominated for the “Sean Costello Rising Star Award.” Keepin On features five new original tunes\, plus other covers of songs by John Lee Hooker\, Mack Rice\, T-Bone Walker\, Robert Nighthawk and Bob Dylan “I did two acoustic songs and enlisted dobro genius Toby Walker for them\,’ says Castiglia about the new CD. “Toby came in originally to play on a song I wrote called ‘Sweet Southern Angel.’ That went so well and quickly\, that we wound up doing another number for the hell of it\, Robert Nighthawk’s ‘Murderin’ Blues.’ I can honestly sum up those two tunes with one word\, ‘Magic.’\nThe result is a fascinating journey into what Albert feels is his best work to date.
