SUMMARY:Judy Collins
DESCRIPTION:Judy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work\, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. \nThe award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now from her landmark 1967 album\, Wildflowers\, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Judy’s dreamy and sweetly intimate version of Send in the Clowns\, a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical A Little Night Music\, won “Song of the Year” at the 1975 Grammy Awards. She’s garnered several top-ten hits gold- and platinum-selling albums. Recently\, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright\, Shawn Colvin\, Dolly Parton\, Joan Baez\, and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins. \nJudy Collins is as creatively vigorous as ever\, writing\, touring worldwide\, and nurturing fresh talent. She is a modern-day Renaissance woman who is a filmmaker\, record label head\, musical mentor\, and an in-demand keynote speaker for mental health and suicide prevention. She continues to create music of hope and healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart. \nVisit: judycollins.com

SUMMARY:Gadan
DESCRIPTION:Gadan is a storming new band blending the drive of Irish Traditional Music and Celtgrass with the soul of folk and Appalachian music… all spiced with unmistakable Italian seasoning! \nFeaturing three young yet seasoned Italian folk musicians from the Irish trad and European folk scene\, Gadan joined forces in 2024 with Enda Scahill\, tenor banjo legend and founder of the acclaimed Irish band We Banjo 3. From 2025\, the group also welcomes Eric Long – a talented songwriter and clawhammer banjo player originally from the Appalachian heartland of Pennsylvania and now based in San Francisco – adding a deep\, rootsy flavor to the group’s already distinctive transatlantic sound. \nWith no less than three outrageous\, unlawful\, and audacious banjos – plus fiddle\, mandolin\, and guitar – Gadan delivers a powerful “strings-only” sound\, driven by a relentless rhythmic pulse. Their high-energy live performances and magnetic stage presence prove you don’t need drums to make people groove. \nOver the past three years\, Gadan has completed five successful U.S. tours\, performing on prestigious stages across the country – from intimate folk venues to major Celtic festivals. They are quickly earning a reputation as one of the “most exciting revelations in the contemporary folk and Celtic music scene”. \nWith a bold sound\, a fresh approach to tradition\, and a growing international following\, Gadan is redefining the boundaries of folk music – one banjo at a time. \nVisit: gadanband.com

SUMMARY:Deborah Henson-Conant
DESCRIPTION:Deborah Henson-Conant performs internationally in concert halls\, theaters\, opera houses\, and private salons across the U.S. and Europe. Striding onto stage\, her harp strapped on as if it were one with her body\, a blend of human and instrument\, she pulls sounds from the strings that you would never have imagined could grace the instrument handed out at the Pearly Gates: from intimate ballads to Blues\, Flamenco and Latin inspired originals. All with a powerful singing voice\, humor and stories. \nShe fluidly shifts between solo shows and collaborative formats\, soloist with symphony and chamber ensembles\, and collaborator with dance companies\,  theatrical productions and other musicians. Henson-Conant’s work is characterized by its transformational\, intimate\, and virtuosic qualities that can be both funny and heart-stoppingly beautiful. \nUsing a looper pedal\, Henson-Conant weaves sound and rhythm-scapes spontaneously as she plays\, layering her harp\,  to create rich\, multi-dimensional\, alost symphonic solo performances\,   building complex musical textures in real-time\, creting depth from percussive harp techniques to vocal harmonies – she can create the effect of a full ensemble while maintaining the intimacy and spontaneity of a solo artist. \nVisit: deborah-henson-conant.com

SUMMARY:Virtual: Armchair Tour of the Faroe Islands with Joanne Pearson
DESCRIPTION:Landscape photographer Joanne Pearson will be our guide through this armchair tour of the Faroe Islands\, hosted by the Bacon Free Library. \nThe rugged and remote Faroe Islands–an archipelago of 18 islands located in the North Atlantic between Iceland\, Norway\, and the Hebrides–have a long and rich history. Settled by Irish monks around 600 AD\, colonized by Vikings in the ninth century\, and Christianized around 1000\, the Faroe Islands are now an autonomous territory of the kingdom of Denmark. Formed by volcanic activity and reshaped by ice age glaciers\, mountains rise steeply and sharply from the sea. Small villages in the rounded valleys of the coastline appear below you as you round a bend on a narrow road or emerge from one of the numerous tunnels that now connect almost all of the islands and some of the harder to reach villages. Cascading waterfalls\, flocks of sheep\, and dramatic scenery abound. \nRegister to receive the Zoom link

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: How Librarians Became the Unlikely Spies of WWII
DESCRIPTION:Author Elyse Graham will discuss her new book\, Book and Dagger: How Scholars and Librarians Became the Unlikely Spies of World War II\, the true untold story of the academics who became OSS spies\, invented modern spycraft\, and helped turn the tide of the war to defeat the Nazis. At the start of WWII\, the US found itself in desperate need of an intelligence agency. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS)\, a precursor to today’s CIA\, was quickly formed—and\, in an effort to fill its ranks with experts\, the OSS turned to academia for recruits. Suddenly\, literature professors\, librarians\, and historians were training to perform undercover operations and investigative work—and these surprising spies would go on to profoundly shape both the course of the war and our cultural institutions with their efforts. \nThis program is offered in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library and the Tewksbury Public Library. \nRegister to receive the Zoom link

SUMMARY:BLKBOK
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Detroit’s inner-city\, BLKBOK (born Charles Wilson III)\, grew up in a music-filled house and by the time he was 8\, BLKBOK was an acclaimed piano prodigy\, winning statewide accolades and college-level competitions. When it came to music\, most of the kids he grew up with pursued hip-hop\, adopting rap names. However\, it’s no coincidence that Charles chose the name BLKBOK\, which echoes that of one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time. The tag is also an apt reflection of the elements that have contributed to the artist’s identity and symbolizes his colorful journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed\, neo-classical debut album Black Book\, and various Mixtape projects and collaborations. \n​BLKBOK’s live\, high-energy performance is culturally reflective and seeks to entertain with a live piano based performance like none you have ever seen before. BLKBOK’s vision is to illuminate awareness for all\, encouraging dialogue and counterpoint in the way we perceive ourselves and the world we live in together. \n​BLKBOK’s critically-acclaimed debut album Black Book\, served as a founding cornerstone at the very first Juneteenth Foundation’s Freedom Concert and was re-released as a DLUX Edition in June\, with two new tracks\, Forgotten Girls and Kendrick + Karine\, covering relevant topics in mainstream culture\, and in the voice that is uniquely BLKBOK.  His first Mixtape release\, CVRART\, and Mixtape project Angels Watching Over Me\, with world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee\, illustrate the innovative and disruptive musical landscape that is BLKBOK. His original track Stars (Ad Astra) was performed as the first-ever piano duet from Space in April 2022.   \n​In 2025\, BLKBOK will release a highly anticipated mixtape and album\, continuing his mission to use music as a force for good and humanity. More than an artist\, he is a movement\, breaking barriers\, sparking dialogue\, and inspiring change through sound. \nVisit: blkbok.com
