SUMMARY:Jackopierce
DESCRIPTION:Jack O’Neill and Cary Pierce\, the “Jacko” and “Pierce\,” make up the seminal duo Jackopierce. They’ve been making music for 35 years that has amassed a loyal following of millions of fans around the world with their super high-energy live shows and what the Dallas Morning News calls “spotless harmonies.” \nJackopierce began in 1988 as theater students at the legendary Meadows School of the Arts at SMU in Dallas. The duo steadily made a name for themselves\, and within 5 years\, they were signed to major label A&M and recording their debut\, “Bringing on the Weather” with uber-producer\, T Bone Burnett. They have toured three continents\, nine countries\, and 46 states. They have shared the stage with John Mayer\, Dave Matthews\, Matchbox20\, Counting Crows\, Wallflowers\, Sheryl Crow\, Toad the Wet Sprocket\, Vertical Horizon\, Lyle Lovett – to name a few. After a five-year breakup\, the guys reunited in 2002 to test the waters. They were warm – and the guys have been back together ever since. \nJackopierce is busier than ever before\, releasing new music monthly and touring all across the country. Jack & Cary have a totally renewed creative vigor\, mutual respect and deep gratitude for each other and their fans. “Even after 35 years I feel like we’re just getting started\,” said Cary. “I love this guy like a brother\,” says Jack. \nVisit: jackopierce.com \nGenerously sponsored by

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

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Love and Loss After Wounded Knee: A Biography of an Extraordinary Interracial Marriage
DESCRIPTION:In this program\, author Julie Dobrow will discuss her new book\, Love and Loss After Wounded Knee: A Biography of an Extraordinary Interracial Marriage. Like most star-crossed lovers\, they came from vastly different worlds. Elaine Goodale\, a white woman who grew up on a farm in the remotest part of the Berkshires\, was a poet\, writer and teacher who’d come to the Dakota Territory in 1884 to teach Native American children. Ohíye S’a\, or Charles Alexander Eastman\, was a Santee Sioux\, born in Minnesota and one of the only Native Americans educated at Dartmouth College and Boston University Medical School. He’d come to Pine Ridge as a reservation physician. Elaine and Charles improbably met in December 1890\, and more surprisingly\, fell in love. And then the Wounded Knee Massacre happened\, and changed everything. \nThis program is offered in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library and the Tewksbury Public Library. \nRegister to receive the Zoom link

SUMMARY:Dar Williams
DESCRIPTION:“It’s a highway\, filled with deep\, exotic colors and beautiful delicate things as well as the perils that come from moving so fast\,” says Dar Williams\, describing modern life. On her 13th album\, Hummingbird Highway\, out September 12 on Righteous Babe Records\, Williams celebrates the colors she glimpses from her vantage as a touring musician. “I was a kid from the suburbs who listened when her hippie teachers said to get out in the world\,” Williams muses. Hummingbird Highway is the latest chapter in a richly unfolding story. Drawing on her experience as a playwright\, Williams populates her latest album with nuanced characters that come alive in the space of a few minutes. \nOn the title track\, Williams sings from the perspective of a child speaking to her peripatetic and sometimes struggling parent. Blooming columbines\, china blue teapots\, and cinnamon bark number among the “treasures” in her life\, despite the “pirates” that she imagines populating her worldly parent’s life. “The pirates can be all sorts of things living inside and outside your head. The child\, for better or worse\, knows that there is joy\, unpredictability\, and instability on the home front. She’s rooting for the joy.” \nLongtime listeners know that Williams and her music are always up for those kinds of conversations that glimpse the brightest colors\, woven into the larger context of time. “As I’ve gotten older\, I feel more comfortable holding a lot of different threads in my hand to create more complicated patterns. Time has given me a better ability to hold a bunch of colors and temperaments and see what happens\, where they become interesting new stories and also where I need to stop and untangle the themes and characters. It’s daunting\, and I’ve learned that\, you know\, daunting is fine\, just keep going.” \nThe Nields will be perfoming alongside Williams at this show. The Nields are a folk-rock band from Massachusetts. They are delighted to announce the release of their much-anticipated twenty-first album\, Circle of Days. An homage to the calendar––and really\, time itself––this collection of songs is a testament to the band’s enduring creativity and unwavering commitment to their craft. During the pandemic\, Nerissa and Katryna Nields\, the band’s frontwomen\, took a daily walk with their beloved dogs\, Greta and Hudson. The destination was a nearby lake\, where Katryna would take a daily photo. Inspired by the ever-shifting seasons\, they came to realize that each of Nerissa’s new songs could be intimately connected to a particular time of year\, forming a musical cycle. \nVisit: darwilliams.com and nields.com
