SUMMARY:The Far Out & Residual Groove
DESCRIPTION:Reserved Rail Seats $25 + $6.95 service fee\nGA Standing $15 + $6.95 service fee\n$30/$20 + $6.95 service fee day of show\n7:00pm Doors / 7:30pm Show\n18+\, Positive I.D. Required. \nThe Far Out is a funk and soul pop band from Boston\, Massachusetts. The six powerhouse musicians have been playing together since they were kids – learning and growing through shared experiences in jazz\, theatre\, a cappella\, and orchestra. Now\, The “New Act of the Year” recipient at the New England Music Awards engage their audiences with lush vocals and groovy horn lines\, supported by undeniable chemistry and raw star quality. Their goal is to include audiences in their infectious joy and spread the love of funk and soul music. \nTaking after the likes of Fleetwood Mac\, Eagles\, and Earth\, Wind & Fire\, The Far Out is stacked with multiple lead singers and songwriters. Their genre is a cohesion of their individual tastes and influences\, brought together by a shared aim to entertain and inspire. You’ll often catch the group of multi-instrumentalists switching roles during their shows — passing guitars around\, moving from lead vocals to horn section\, or stealing a moment behind the keys. \nSince their formation in summer ‘21\, TFO has quickly become a notable part of the Greater Boston music community. The band is involved with local organizations such as Lungstrong\, Ipswich Caring\, Team Haverhill\, the Pelican Intervention Fund\, and Friends of Ipswich Elementary Schools (FRIES). The group’s debut EP — self-titled\, The Far Out — was named Indie Boulevard’s Best EP of 2023. In 2024\, they followed up the award-winning EP with two explosive singles\, “See Red (You’re Dead)” and “Packed to Go.” Their latest\, “Funkadelic Gas\,” is a total groove-fest and a celebration of the group’s chemistry and musicianship. \nhttps://thefarout.band \nHailing from Norwalk\, Connecticut\, Residual Groove has quickly earned a reputation for marrying high-octane jam-rock energy with disciplined musicianship. Founded by brothers Kiran Edwards (keys / vocals) and Previn Edwards (guitar / vocals)\, the quintet now features the melodic low-end wizardry of Ryan Berry on bass\, alongside the explosive Henry Thomas (drums) and percussive ace Garrett Halstead. Ryan’s arrival in 2025 has deepened the band’s pocket and opened new improvisational avenues\, adding a fresh\, muscular dimension to their sound. \nResidual Groove’s 2024 debut album In Dream Time drew praise from peers and tastemakers across the jam scene for its forward-thinking arrangements and fearless sonic exploration. Members of Goose\, Eggy\, and Neighbor have publicly lauded the record’s inventive blend of kaleidoscopic keyboards\, searing guitar lines\, and airtight rhythm work. \nOnstage\, the band treats every composition as a launchpad\, spinning structured songs into adventurous yet purposeful improvisations that keep crowds guessing—and dancing. That chemistry has landed them support slots with scene heavyweights Andy Frasco\, Dogs in a Pile\, Karina Rykman\, Vasudo\, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong\, Melt\, and more. Each performance reaffirms Residual Groove’s knack for turning a set list into a narrative journey\, seamlessly weaving one musical chapter into the next. \nWith a reinforced lineup\, an acclaimed debut under their belt\, and a relentless drive to push the boundaries of modern jam-rock\, Residual Groove is staking their claim as one of the Northeast’s most compelling live acts—one ecstatic\, exploratory show at a time.

SUMMARY:Evil Dead in Concert - Screening w/ Live Original Score

Most recently\, Joe released a reimagining and re-recording of the original Evil Dead score called “Evil Dead: A Nightmare Reimagined\,” where he re-recorded and expanded on the original musical themes of the movie. \nEvil Dead follows five college students on vacation in an isolated cabin in the woods\, where they unwittingly release absolute evil into the world and have to fight to survive.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Ed & Jo Hopper’s Houses\, Views from Portuguese Hill
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 27\, 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.

Here\, themes of structure\, rhythm\, and personal connection emerge. \nFrom there\, boundaries begin to dissolve. In the second room\, paintings and sculptural forms break open\, overlap\, and collide. Texture and scale shift dramatically\, creating a visceral experience that echoes the unpredictability of nature\, time\, and material. \nEach artist contributes a distinct voice to this evolving conversation: \nMorgan Dyer’s layered paintings and sculptural pieces—shaped by outdoor surfaces—evoke the interplay of control and surrender found in Cape Ann’s coastal terrain. \nAmanda Bittner and Vanessa Michalak translate plein air experiences into works that capture the immediacy of shifting light and atmosphere. \nElissa Lincoln crafts memory-laced paper collages that reassemble fragments of landscapes into new forms. \nMaia Mattson\, working with foraged botanicals\, builds immersive environments that explore cycles of impermanence and renewal. \nAt the heart of INTER/PLAY is a collaborative\, site-responsive installation co-created by all five artists. This shared piece acts as a living culmination of the themes explored throughout the show—where materials\, gesture\, and intuition converge.

SUMMARY:Black Uhuru
DESCRIPTION:10/2/25\nReserved Seating $55\nGA Standing $30\n7:00pm Doors / 8:00pm Show\n21+ \nFor over 50 years Black Uhuru has remained one of the most popular recognized prolific reggae band from Jamaica. The living legends have earned several achievements in the music industry including winning the first ever Grammy Award for reggae music. They’re long success along with having the highest reggae record sales after Bob Marley & the most songs sampled by other artist over the years has allowed them to become Ambassadors of reggae. \nThe roots of Black Uhuru formed in Kingston’s “Waterhouse” District in the late 60’s. It is the home of founder & leader Derrick “Duckie” Simpson along with all the rest of the singers from the group. The original Uhuru’s Swahili for “freedom” were Duckie\, Don Carlos & Garth Dennis. The first song was a Curtis Mayfield cover of “Folk Song”. They made only a couple more songs before Don left to pursue a solo career & Garth joined Wailing Souls. The two were replaced by Michael Rose & Errol Nelson both from Waterhouse. They recorded the debut album “Love Crises” in 1977 for Prince Jammy later re-released as “Black Sounds of Freedom”. Errol later left the group to join the Jays & was replaced by female singer Puma Jones. \nThis new line-up is when the band began to collaborate with Sly & Robbie & developed the “classic Uhuru” sound of the 80’s. A unique style full of heavy drum & bass\, sharp keys\, loud guitar riffs & long instrumentals filled with whirly background effects & the signature “wow oh-oh oh’s” echo. It was during this period they signed with Island Records. They began touring internationally & started receiving worldwide attention. They recorded some of their most popular albums like “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” “Sensimelia” & “Chill Out”. The album “Red” was voted #23 for Rolling Stone Magazine list of 100 greatest albums of the 80’s. And history was made when they won reggae’s first grammy award in 1984 for the album “Anthem”. Shortly after the grammy Michael left the group to go solo. \nAnother Waterhouse resident named Junior Reid became the new lead singer. Two albums were released “Brutal” nominated for grammy & “Positive” with Ras Records. These albums included popular hits like “Dreadlocks on the Mountain” “Fit You Haffi Fit” & one of the groups first music videos “Great Train Robbery”. Sadly due to ill health Puma passed away in 1990. Around this time Jr. Reid was having visa issues unable to tour. \nDuring the mid 90’s the original members reunited. Four albums were released “Now”\, “Iron”\, Storm”\, “Mystical Truth” & “Strongg” all nominated for grammy. They made an award-winning music video for “Tip of the Iceberg” that featured rap star Ice-T & another video for “One Love” featuring Louie Rankin. They performed live on television for VH1 a cover version of Jimmy Hendrix “Hey Joe”. In 1994 they won the Diamonds Awards for Excellence. Unfortunately\, the group began to dispute over band legal rights & went to court in the late 90’s. Duckie won the rights to the name. \nAs the new millennium approached Duckie found Andrew Bee’s once again from Waterhouse. Bee’s first tour with the band was in 1996 in Brazil. They released two albums “Unification” in 1998 & “Dynasty” in 2001. In 2002 they reunited with Sly & Robbie for an international world tour & released a live album/dvd “Dubbin it Live”. The group resurfaced in 2010 & has been touring extensively throughout Europe\, South America & the United States. In 2012 they performed in a Broadway musical in Los Angeles called “Loving the Silent Tears”. In 2013 Duckie was awarded a lifetime achievement award from the IRWMA. In 2017 they released a new single & music video “Jah Guide” a Peter Tosh tribute that featured Bugle. \nIn 2018 Black Uhuru released “As The World Turns” the newest album after 15 years. It was nominated for “Best Reggae Album” at the 61st Grammy Awards. For the first time it featured Duckie on lead for the entire album. To support the album the band headed on a major US Tour & Hawaii. During the East Coast leg of the tour they appeared live on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series where they performed a new single “I See You” taken from the “Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica Reloaded” album produced by Sean Edwards of Contractor Music. Two music videos “Chalice” & “War Crime” were filmed by Benji Cooper for the album both featured on Reggaeville. \nRight before the pandemic Black Uhuru went on a small West Coast Tour with Dylan’s Dharma & Etana where they performed at the One Love Festival in Long Beach. During the “lock-down” the band was idle all of 2020. Duckie did one live stream performance for Kumar’s Kulture Walk St. Bess live video stream series during reggae month. \nIn 2021 Black Uhuru released a new single “Jamaica to Here” mixed by Shaquille “Skunga” Kong\, “Med Dread” & Mark “Jah Servant” Giles. Early this year in 2022 Black Uhuru just released a new full length album titled “New Day” & music video for “Brand New Day” that features the members of Dylan’s Dharma band.
