Break The Frame

Presented by Montserrat College of Art at Frame 301 Gallery

Aug 03 - Oct 04, 2020

For my largest mural to date, I wanted to utilize the location to include a message to passerby’s: ‘BREAK THE FRAME’. ‘Frames’ can be anything in your life that are keeping you from having new and exciting experiences. I attempt to break my frames each day, by constantly working to push my art somewhere new and allowing my mind to be challenged by different ideas. What are your ‘frames’? Andrew Tricoche is a Puerto-Rican artist born and raised in Lowell, MA. He was the middle child to a family of 5, not including his mother who raised them single-handedly. At a young age, Andrew realized his talents and interest in art and would compete with his siblings and peers. That inevitably led to his pursuit of the arts – from focusing his studies at Greater Lowell Tech in Graphic Design to getting his BFA at the Montserrat College of Art…

Nov 07, 2020

The 2016 Boston Blues Challenge Winners Grits & Groceries Orchestra led by Beverly's own Kemp Dunn (Formerly of Paul & Kemp) are making their triumphant return to 9 Wallis after last year's sell-out! Based out of Boston, Grits & Groceries Orchestra and their performance is a tour de force. "These guys are TIGHT!" John Anthony plays one hell of a melodic bass also lending some extremely strong lead vocals. Robert Lyons delivers some insanely great tenor saxophone, whose sound pierces the atmosphere with mind-boggling ease. Rare to hear sax of this quality. Charlie O'Neal on guitar plays as if everything he did so well in his performance, was simply an epic warm-up to what he proceeds to do now. John Cooke on keyboards and Kemp Dunn on drums easily equals the flawless talent of the rest of the band. Last year's show sold out. Don't miss your chance to party…

RESCHEDULED – Jim Breuer: Live and Let Laugh

Presented by The Cabot at The Cabot

Nov 07, 2020

Not long after Jim Breuer did his first official standup gig in Clearwater, Florida, in 1989, industry folks began asking him, “What’s your point of view?” “I don’t know…” He searched for a meaningful response to a ridiculous question. “To make people laugh?” The freewheeling, New York bred comic storyteller – who made the list of Comedy Central’s “100 Greatest Standups of All Time” – is hotter than ever, a global touring sensation and regular presence on radio and television whose rabid audience, he’s thrilled to note, is filled with “lifetimers.” Once folks see him live, they’re hooked. Breuer estimates that 78% of his fans have seen him “five, six, seven” times. It’s becoming a family thing, with parents even bringing young teens to see the family man and father of three daughters, all providing genius “dad” material for his sets. Having evolved both personally and professionally since the beginning,…

Presented by The Cabot at The Cabot

Feb 12, 2021

Tommy Emmanuel has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. Or at least they would if he was the kind of artist who was ever satisfied. At the age of six, he was touring regional Australia with his family band. By 30, he was a rock n’ roll lead guitarist burning up stadiums in Europe. At 44, he became one of five people ever named a Certified Guitar Player by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins. Today, he plays hundreds of sold-out shows every year from Nashville to Sydney to London. All the while, Tommy has hungered for what’s next. When you’re widely acknowledged as the international master of the solo acoustic guitar, what’s next is Accomplice One, an album of collaborations with some of the finest singers, songwriters and, yes, guitarists alive today – a list including Jason Isbell, Mark Knopfler, Rodney Crowell, Jerry Douglas, Amanda Shires, Ricky…

Presented by The Cabot at The Cabot

Mar 05, 2021

“It takes a lot of time to accept who you are,” says Chris Daughtry. “You shave off the persona that you thought people expected, stop worrying about what anyone is going to think.

I think I finally know who I am as a person.” As the frontman for the band bearing his name, Daughtry has become one of the most visible and consistent rock & roll torchbearers of the 21st Century. Throughout his career he has released five albums and one Greatest Hits, all of which reached the Billboard Top Ten and have combined sales over 9 million copies in the U.S. Daughtry’s self-titled debut was the best-selling album of 2007, which contained four #1 hit singles including the Grammy-nominated smash “It’s Not Over.” Leave This Town also reached Number One in 2009,…

Revolutionary Networks Talk

Presented by Marblehead Museum at Marblehead Museum

Oct 01, 2020

The power of the press has shaped political ideology for centuries.  During the American Revolution, printed material and the artisans we know as printers, used their trade to directly shape Revolutionary ideology and the concept of mass mobilization.  Joseph Adelman, Ph.D. will present on his book “Revolutionary Networks” to show how printers balanced their own political beliefs and interests alongside the commercial interests of their businesses, and how they all contributed to the Revolution and the birth of the United States. Joseph Adelman, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of History at Framingham State University.  He earned his B.A. and M.A. from Harvard University and his Ph.D. from John’s Hopkins University.
