SUMMARY:Bokani Dyer at The Cut
DESCRIPTION:Reserved Seating $30 + $6.95 service fee\nGA Standing $20 + $6.95 service fee\n7:00pm Doors / 7:30pm Show\n18+ \nBokani Dyer is a South African pianist\, composer and producer. Born in 1986 in Gaborone\, Botswana – where many artists from South Africa\, including his father\, musician Steve Dyer\, were living in exile during apartheid – Dyer moved to South Africa as a child in 1993. Having musicians around in his early life gave Bokani the profound insight into the life of a musician and sparked a keen interested in pursuing music as a career. After taking up formal piano studies at age 14 for 4 years\, he was accepted intro the Jazz programme at the University of Cape Town where he graduated in 2008 with an Honours degree in Performance and Composition with distinction. He is a part of The Bokani Dyer Trio – Bokani Dyer (piano)\, Romy Brauteseth (bass) and Sphelelo Mazibuko (drums). Bokani has recorded three jazz albums to critical acclaim. \nAlongside his jazz career\, Bokani also explores various other genres including electronic music\, classical piano\, and salsa. These various influences have made him aware of the versatility of the piano as an instrument. ‘In my own compositions\, I have consciously allowed all of the music which I have encountered to flow into my music to create a new idea of “world music” where there is music with no borders\,’ he explains. This led to an interest in exploring traditional styles of music from Africa\, particularly percussion rhythms.

SUMMARY:Rephrasing | Exhibit at Cove Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Janice Brand\nExhibit Dates: August 21 – September 14\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, August 21\, 4-7 pm\nClosing Reception: Sunday\, September 14\, 2-5pm\nGallery Hours: Sunday & Monday\, 12-5pm; Thursday – Saturday\, 12-7pm \nRephrasing\, an exhibition curated by Janice Brand\, encompasses the mixed-media work of Shira Karman\, Tobi Klein\, Helen Tory\, and Patricia Wellenkamp\, who utilize the concepts of adaptation and revision. This show\, the fifth for the 2025 season at Cove Gallery\, takes into consideration memory\, family\, story-telling\, and definitely redefinition\, or rephrasing. \nShira Karman focuses on fragments that relate to some other time or place\, whether known or unknown. She is interested in how these fragments tell a story that she may know or hope to uncover. \nTobi Klein explores mono-printing\, collage\, and other mixed-media techniques\, taking inspiration from the continual shifting of light\, color\, and pattern of the granite quarries and the sea. She builds a story\, inviting viewers to peel back the layers and look below the surface. \nHelen Tory uses diverse media to express her connection with birds described in her father’s 1930s nature diaries. A variety of paint\, mark-making\, torn papers\, and string elicit each bird’s particular characteristics. \nPatricia Wellenkamp uses a series of carved linoleum blocks to print on cotton and other fabrics. She incorporates embroidery\, paper\, and other elements to add ornamentation and complexity to images that might come from an ancestor’s dress\, dahlias in her garden or imagined landscapes.

SUMMARY:The Resurrection of Judy Rhines: An Installation by Gabrielle Barzaghi & Peter Littlefield
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 30\, 2025\n11:00 a.m.—5:00 p.m.\nWhite-Ellery House\, CAM Green\n13 Poplar Street\, Gloucester\, MA\nFree and open to the public.\nParking is first come first served. \nVisit the White-Ellery House to experience The Resurrection of Judy Rhines\, a site-specific drawing installation by Gabrielle Barzaghi (drawings) and Peter Littlefield (dramaturgy). It is comprised of a series of cardboard dioramas and texts that recount a fictional story about Judy Rhines who\, in 1796\, suddenly disappears after being accused of witchcraft. Some say she died by throwing herself off a Rowan tree. But there have been rumors of sightings of her in the Dogtown Woods. \nA radio play\, The Beginning of the End (of Judy Rhines) by Peter Littlefield\, accompanies the installation. The play is a mystery set in the 1940s. Judy Rhines is a secretary\, until one day\, losing her job and just about everything else\, she learns the ways of a witch. Cast includes Phoebe Potts\, Sarah Hickler\, Michael McNamara\, and Evan Lurie. Recorded and edited by Michael LaMarche. Music by Evan Lurie. \nKathleen Adams will perform her original song\, “Judy’s Lament\,” with words by Peter Littlefield\, at 2pm on Saturdays\, August 23 and 30. \nArtist Bios:\nGabrielle Barzaghi is a visual artist whose work explores the absurdity\, tragedy\, and beauty of the world. Her imagery is evocative of places just beyond the edge of normal experience and has an often otherworldly sensibility about the nature of time and being. Her work is in public and private collections\, including the Cape Ann Museum. She graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, and taught drawing at Suffolk University for over 30 years. Barzaghi is represented by Matthew Swift Gallery. Recently her work was shown in the exhibition Lines of Thought / Contemporary Women Artists Draw at Jane Deering Gallery. Curator Judith Tolnick Champa included Barzaghi’s work in the exhibition Reseeding the City / Ethnobotany in the Urban at the Rhode Island State House. Barzaghi’s recent solo show Fear Game was exhibited at the Matthew Swift Gallery. She also made a gigantic drawn backdrop for Peter Littlefield’s staging of the play Dogtown Common. \nPeter Littlefield is a stage director\, playwright\, and dramaturg. He recently staged Percy MacKaye’s Dogtown Common at Windhover\, co-produced by the Gloucester 400+. The backdrop was created by Gabrielle Barzaghi. He adapted and co-staged James M. Barrie’s Peter Pan for the Fisher Center at Bard with director Christopher Alden and stage designer Marsha Ginsberg. He co-directed Handel’s Partenope with Mr. Alden at the English National Opera\, winning the Laurence Olivier Award. His work has appeared at the New York City Opera\, Glimmerglass Opera\, Spoleto Festival\, San Francisco Opera\, Theater Basil\, Prague National Theater\, and other companies in the United States and Europe.

SUMMARY:Maximus to Jack: Charles Olson & John Hays Hammond Jr.
DESCRIPTION:September 3\nProgram:\n5:30 – 6:00 pm: Light Refreshments & Networking\n6:00 – 7:00 pm: Presentation\n7:00- 7:15 pm: Conclusion & Q&A.\nhttps://bit.ly/MaximustoJack \nOn the night of September 3rd\, 1960\, John Hays Hammond Jr. hosted a reading by the poetCharles Olson at Hammond Castle Museum… \nThis poster was originally done for that event\, by the inventor’s late-life partner Harry Martin\, who introduced Hammond—once called the “Electronic Sorcerer”—to Olson: the self-styled “Archeologist of Morning.” The two men’s friendship would be short-lived and tempestuous. \n65 years later\, join Hammond Castle Museum in marking the anniversary of Olson’s reading and for the first time exploring the dramatic relationship between our founder and the luminary Maximus poet—two colossal figures who helped shape the community of Gloucester as we\nknow it today. \nThrough never-before-seen archival correspondence and a close reading of often overlooked Olson poems that address Hammond and the avant-garde 1960s literary and artistic circle surrounding the Museum directly\, Director of Visitor Services and Education Caleb McMurphy\nwill revive a near-forgotten chapter of local history and shed new light on two of the city’s most\ninteresting citizens.

SUMMARY:The Sweet Remains
DESCRIPTION:The acclaimed folk-rock trio\, which has amassed more than 65 million Spotify streams\, returns to touring in support of their highly anticipated fifth studio album\, Embers—a mesmerizing collection of acoustic-driven\, three-part harmonies. \nA rare independent success\, The Sweet Remains have surpassed 65 million streams on Spotify\, earning a devoted global following. \nFormed by Rich Price (Burlington\, VT)\, Greg Naughton (NYC)\, and Brian Chartrand (Phoenix\, AZ)\, The Sweet Remains is driven by three accomplished singer-songwriters. Rich Price\, whose song I’m On My Way was featured on the multi-platinum Shrek 2 soundtrack\, has released multiple solo albums and written for film and TV. Early in his career\, he was signed to RCA and later Geffen Records. Greg Naughton earned acclaim for his debut indie release\, Demagogue & The Sun Songs\, praised by Performing Songwriter Magazine as “a magnetic writer and performer.” That album was co-produced by the late Grammy-winning artist Phoebe Snow. Greg’s work extends beyond music—he co-wrote and directed The Independents\, inspired by the band’s real-life experiences\, and often collaborates with his wife\, Tony-winner Kelli O’Hara. Brian Chartrand\, a celebrated Phoenix-based songwriter\, has released numerous solo albums and tours internationally\, including as the creator of Live From Laurel Canyon\, a critically acclaimed tribute to folk-rock legends like CSN\, Neil Young\, and Joni Mitchell. \nWith Embers\, The Sweet Remains continue their legacy\, following in the footsteps of their beloved catalog: Music Fills The Spaces (2020)\, Night Songs (2015)\, North & Prospect (2012)\, and Laurel & Sunset (2008).
