Northampton Community Group Sing


WHAT: Northampton Community Group Sing
WHEN: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23rd, 2018, sunset
WHERE: Forbes Library Lawn, 40 West Street Northampton, MA

Our Community Sing, September 23, 2018, on the Forbes Library lawn beneath the Harvest Moon.

Come to the Group Sings in Northampton this summer and learn the songs that we’ll sing this fall:

Group Sing, July 27 at 6:30pm, at the gazebo/bandstand in the back yard of Historic Northampton, 46 Bridge Street (another full-moon night), led by Jim Armenti.

Group Sing, Wed, August 1, 7:00-9:00pm at the Northampton Senior Center, led by Joe Blumenthal and the A-E-I-O-Ukes.

Group Sing, September 14 at 5:00pm at Memorial Hall, 240 Main Street (Arts Night Out Friday), let by Mary Witt and Tom Mahnken.

Always free and open to the entire community.

Community Sing in September

Forbes Library is beginning plans to commemorate its 125th anniversary. It is also the 100th anniversary of the end of “the war to end all wars,” so we invite the community to gather on the library lawn to raise spirits, support peaceful resolutions of conflicts, and confirm our sense of community by singing together.

The large group sing will combine voices of individual members of the public and local choral groups, choirs, and informal singing groups. Everyone will learn the same 3 songs and come together to sing in unison on the lawn, much in the way Forbes Library selects a book each year for the entire community to read and then to gather and discuss. This will not be a performance, but a participatory, community event.

Northampton partners who have already joined in support of the project include Historic Northampton, Northampton Senior Services, Northampton Community Arts Trust, A.P.E. Ltd., Northampton Community Music Center, and Smith College.
1918

During the summer of 1918 the trustees of Forbes Library granted use of the library grounds for several large gatherings of Northampton citizens for “Community Sings,” primarily of patriotic songs. The Daily Hampshire Gazette reported that the community sing of June 24, 1918, attracted a crowd of five to six thousand people! Spirits were high, automobiles were parked along West Street, and the view from the embankment on Smith College grounds was a maze of white blouses and long skirts, straw boaters and 3-piece suits, along with high school cadets and two drum corps.
1894 and now

In the fall of 1894 Forbes Library opened its doors for the first time. Its 125th anniversary in 2019 will be the occasion of multiple events and celebrations. It will all begin next fall with this joint celebration to both commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I in 1918 and to sing together with your friends and the entire community. We hope you will join us!

This year’s sing is set for September 23, around sunset and moonrise. It is still in the planning stages. Please send suggestions and comments to Faith Kaufmann, Forbes Library Arts & Music Librarian, 413-587-1013 or arts@forbeslibrary.org. This page will be updated with more information about Our Community Sing as it develops.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Northampton Arts Council,
a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.


August Arts Night Out: Marilyn Cavallari at CLICK


WHAT: CLICK features the work of Marilyn Cavallari this August
WHERE: CLICK Workspace 9 1/2 Market Street Northampton, MA.
WHEN: Opening reception Friday August 10th, 6-8pm

Cavallari received her BA in Fine Arts from the State University College at Buffalo. She studied art at Penn State University and finished her degree at SUNYCAB with a concentration in Art History and Oil Painting. Her paintings grace private homes and collections in Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Texas, Florida, California, New Mexico and the Bahamas.

ARTISTS STATEMENT:
"Simplistic is the word I would use to describe my style of art. My simplicity is extreme. In a brief moment you can see the entire image without any distractions. It is direct and profound while being very minimal. I use true colors that are bright and happy, yet when everyone views my paintings their comments are often that my work is very calming. In my landscapes the grass, the trees and the light source are the perfection of a Spring Day.

My life holds nothing extraordinary; I did not paint for most of it. I chose the life of a ballerina and ballet instructor. Finding painting has given me a new ability to translate what I see visually so that all are able to understand and enjoy. What I do see is happiness in the deepest sense. Now I can share it with all who have an interest."


Preview her work here: www.marilyncavallari.com

Opening reception will begin at 6pm, light refreshments and drinks will be served.

Downtown Northampton Summer Concert Series: King Radio, Chandler Travis Three-O

WHAT: Summer Concert Series Featuring: King Radio, Chandler Travis Three-O
WHEN: Friday, July 27th, 5:30pm-7:30pm
WHERE: Pulaski Park, 240 Main St. Northampton, MA
How Much? FREE

About King Radio:
King Radio is a 7 piece band featuring Frank Padellaro, Brandi Ediss, Ken Maiuri, David Trenholm, Paul Pelis, Greg Saulmon and Patrick Timmons.  Spinning off in stylistic directions from orchestral pop to bossa nova, country to power pop and folk to garage punk, the songs all have one thing in common: delivering catchy hooks with erudite lyrics, usually in about 3 and a half minutes or less.  King Radio has been impressing critics and music fans in the Valley and around the world for over two decades.  "Looking at the heyday of Valley music, this is a primary source band...everything good about Valley music.” - Nicole LaChapelle (Mayor of Easthampton, MA)


About Chandler Travis Three-O:
The Chandler Travis Three-O started as a result of getting various offers from venues that weren't large enough to accommodate the 9 piece Philharmonic, that coincided more or less with the arrivals in the band of string bassist John Clark and saxophonist, keyboardist, and clarinetist Berke McKelvey. With these two, Chandler suddenly had two extremely talented and enthusiastic players who shared his passion for detailing, arranging, and rehearsing, and with the addition of vocalist and longtime supporter Fred Boak, aka The Valet (for what good is a Three-O with only three people?), the Three-O was born. At least two unexpected surprises followed: it gradually became evident that the Three-O could play just about anything the CTP could, plus a few things it couldn't; and it immediately became evident that audiences responded to the mellower approach and tighter focus quite well indeed. Accordingly, the Three-O's well received debut album was released in 2013, followed up recently with their latest, “Backward Crooked From the Sunset.” Life changed, slightly; almost in-perceptively.

93.9 The River and Cancer Connection are gearing up for Monte's 2018 Cancer Connection Campout: Summer Camp. The Campout raises funds for the Cancer Connection’s free non-medical services for people facing cancer and their families and caregivers.

“Monte's theme this year is Summer Camp. Think s'mores, singalongs, and activities. We’ll have live music from local performers like Rock Voices and national acts like Cracker and Haitian dance band Lakou Mizik,” says Cynthia Tarail of Cancer Connection. “We’ll dance into the night with a funky soul dance party with DJ Snack Attack. All this fun and games is in service of a serious message: helping people facing cancer.”

The Campout begins at 6am on July 18 and ends around mid day on July 19. All are welcome to stop by the Campout any time to enjoy the music, hear the speakers, make a donation and meet staff from Cancer Connection. The full event schedule is available at wrsi.com.

At least 7 tents set up by peer fundraisers will pepper the Old Courthouse lawn at the corner of Main and Pleasant streets.

Cancer Connection “create(s) a safe haven to talk about your cancer journey, if you choose, and their bodywork offerings are invaluable, especially when dealing with current and ongoing side effects of treatment,” says Aleeta Sasarak, participant and volunteer. “While no one ever wants to hear the words "you have cancer", it gives me comfort knowing the Cancer Connection will be here to support anyone should that fateful day come and they find themselves in need of their services.”

Like a Mother Bear: An Environmental Call to Action, Opens at the Ko Festival this Weekend


WHAT: "Like a Mother Bear," written and performed by Helen Stoltzfus
WHEN: Friday and Saturday, July 27th and 28th at 8:00 PM and Sunday, July 29th at 4:00 PM
WHERE: Holden Theater, Amherst College, 200 S Pleasant St. Amherst, MA

AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS–What happens when the last grizzly bear dies? What happens to a sleep that is no longer slept by a bear? The Ko Festival of Performance continues a season of “Radical Acts” with one woman’s extraordinary journey to healing in which she encounters the Great Bear Mother of the imagination and the very real endangered bear of the wilderness. LIKE A MOTHER BEAR will be performed July 27-29 in the Holden Theater at Amherst College.

Based on the playwright’s personal story, this life-changing experience propels her on an odyssey that moves from the bear den of dreams to the office of an Elvis-impersonating acupuncturist to the Alaska wilderness. She relives her past illness and infertility, grappling with the “womb-knowledge” that insists that life continue even in the face of environmental devastation. In the wilds she comes to understand the connection between her own endangered health and that of the threatened grizzly bear – as well as the painful and exhilarating secret of what it means to become like a mother bear. In this groundbreaking call to action, personal healing and the welfare of future generations are inextricably entwined with the survival of the natural world.

"RADICAL ACTS" in Five Minutes: Ko Festival Story Slam


WHAT: "RADICAL ACTS" Ko Festival Story Slam
WHEN: Saturday, July 21, 8:00pm
WHERE: Holden Theater at Amherst College, 200 S Pleasant St, Amherst MA

AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS– Since 2011, Ko Festival of Performance has hosted story slams: a fast-paced evening of true stories. This year’s “Radical Acts” themed story slam can be seen for one night only on July 21 in the Holden Theater at Amherst College. For reservations please go to kofest.com, call (413) 542-3750, or email info@kofest.com.

Ko Festival Artistic Director, Sabrina Hamilton says, "each summer the Ko Festival is curated on a theme that we think is timely and of compelling interest to people in the Pioneer Valley. The festival becomes a kind of five-week think tank, each week we present a different show that offers a different and entertaining lens on the theme.  Most of the Ko Festival artists come from across the country - this year, Detroit, Pennsylvania, San Francisco - and yes, Amherst. But we like to get more local participation into the mix and thus, most of the Story Slam storytellers are local. The Slam is a chance to hear stories from our neighbors about their own experiences as they relate to the theme." Previous summer story slam themes have included: “Secrets,” "Age & Aging,” Courage,” “Work | Job | Career | Calling,” “Fish Out of Water,” and last summer’s “Tactics for Trying Times.”

This summer KoFest is focusing on “Radical Acts.” Stories must be true, first person (though they need not be about the storyteller, there does need to be some first-hand involvement or witnessing). Stories are told live and without notes and must be 5 minutes or under. A gentle warning tone is sounded at four minutes and a far louder chime at the cut-off point. Hamilton says laughingly, "storytellers are allowed to finish the sentence they’re in the middle of — but no run-on sentences!”  There are 3 sets of 5 storytellers. 

Many of the performers will be telling stories that they have worked on in the 6-day FIRST PERSON: Crafting Your Story for Performance” workshop that Ko offers each summer. The sold out class is taught by Jerry Stropnicky, a multi-faceted theatre artist (director, writer and actor) who has traveled widely, creating original large-scale, site-specific performances in communities facing trauma, crisis, transition, or change. For this work, as well as for his role in co-founding the national Network of Ensemble Theaters, Jerry was honored as a United States Artists Fellow in 2010. More information about Stropnicky available at kofest.com

A.P.E. presents THE SPACE BETWEEN: WEAVING AND FIBROUS CONNECTION


WHAT: “THE SPACE BETWEEN: WEAVING AND FIBROUS CONNECTION”
WHEN: August 3 – 17, 2018
Artist Reception: Friday, August 10: 5-8 pm, Northampton Arts Night Out
WHERE: A.P.E. Gallery 126 Main Street. Northampton, MA

A.P.E. presents its summer series: ARC.18 (Activate, Research, Create)

A.P.E.‘s third season of summer projects continues to expand the understanding of a contemporary art gallery as an active space within the community. A.P.E.’s current location in the center of Northampton, easily accessible to artists and audience alike, provides opportunities for innovative programming and increases the presence of contemporary arts within a community. ARC.18 consists of four distinct projects that run from June through August, 2018.

Project 3: “THE SPACE BETWEEN: WEAVING AND FIBROUS CONNECTION”

The A.P.E. Ltd Gallery is very pleased to present an exhibition of new and varied works featuring local artists Sarah Rose Lejeune, Anastatia Spicer, and Claire Hawley Crews.

Three hand-weavers whose work treads a line between craft and conceptual art will create an exhibition at A.P.E. that includes site-specific handwoven sculptures, fibrous drawings, and reflections on cloth-making today. These tactile manifestations create new ways of building kinship and connection, cultivating curiosity around how the process of hand-weaving serves as a metaphor for alternative ways of being in relation to one another. Patrons will be invited to weave with the artists on a loom in the gallery as well as interact with the work through sound installations.

About the Artists:

Sarah Rose Lejeune is a papermaker, weaver, sculptor, printmaker from Massachusetts. She graduated with High Honors in Studio Art from Oberlin College in May of 2015. She has been fairly itinerant since then, following various opportunities at The Morgan Conservatory in Cleveland, OH, The Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale, NY, The Dirt Palace in Providence, RI, Dieu Donné in Brooklyn, NY, and more.... She is currently a Core Fellow at the Penland School of Crafts in Western North Carolina.

Anastatia Spicer is a conceptual hand-weaver, seamstress and critical theorist with a BA from Hampshire College. She believes that we are in desperate need to imagine creative new ways of being in relation to one another, our environment and objects in our lives. Her way of going about this is through her artistic as well as teaching practice of handwork which grows alongside, through and within her academic and philosophical research on fibers role in our lives. Her current body of academic and artistic work is concerned with the fibrous knowledge cloth carries as a record of the ways fibers touch and are touched by the world.

Claire Hawley Crews is a weaver and printmaker. Crews has completed internships at Zea Mays Printmaking Studio, Big Wheel Press, Highpoint Center for Printmaking and the Minnesota Center for Book Arts. She received her BA from Hampshire College in 2015. Claire’s work interrogates digital technologies, memory and documentation, intimacy and ambiguity, from a growing technical knowledge of textile craft and intaglio printmaking.

WHERE: First Congregational Church of Ashfield, Main St., Ashfield, MA 01330

Ashfield, MA–Pauline Productions continues their 11th season with Jen Silverman’s nuanced comedy THE ROOMMATE, starring Jeannine Haas and Lisa Abend. Performances will be July 26 through August 4 at the First Congregational Church of Ashfield.

Sharon, in her mid-fifties, is recently divorced and needs a roommate to share her Iowa home. Robyn, also in her mid-fifties, needs a place to hide and a chance to start over. But as Sharon begins to uncover Robyn’s secrets, they encourage her own deep-seated desire to transform her life completely. A dark comedy about what it takes to re-route your life – and what happens when the wheels come off.

"A refreshingly unique dramatization of an older female friendship that I don't think I've seen before.....Pleasantly quirky and surprisingly unexpected... Silverman has successfully penned a very natural yet still outrageous play that gets more and more compelling as it progresses." -Michael Quintos, Onstage LA

CALL FOR ARTISTS – pop-up art exhibition hosted by the Academy of Music

CALL FOR ARTISTS!
For a pop-up art exhibition hosted by the Academy of Music

(Un)Seen: Gender, beauty, and consent

We are seeking submissions for a Pop-Up Exhibition to be held in conjunction with Asking For It by Adrienne Truscott at the Academy of Music on October 27th. Truscott’s show uses comedy to explore the pain of sexual assault and challenge our fears of talking directly about the impact it has on our culture. Our intention with this exhibition is to invite our community to deepen the conversation and explore issues raised in Truscott’s performance.

How do we challenge or disrupt the persuasive narrative of female beauty, expectations of gender, form, and outright objectification?

How has female sexual availability been represented, misrepresented or misinterpreted through art history? How can contemporary artists intervene and provide an alternative vision? What exists in the space between the public/perceived self and one’s private identity? What stories about womanhood have not been told?

One of our favorite guitarists and greatest person ever, Sheryl Bailey will be fronting the trio on the 10th. She brings joy and humor to the bandstand and flawlessly swings her way through beautiful melodies and swinging hard all the way, Here are a few quotes from her bio:
Sheryl's playing is unquestionably "sizzling". She has groomed incredible chops and impeccable taste with which she applies them. It's said (by Lee Metcalf, The Villager) that she can "go from zero to blazing in two beats", but she is continually praised for never sacrificing melody and lyricism for technique. "She balances superior technical skills with a strong lyrical sense and swinging touch..." continues Metcalf, and Joe Taylor of Soundstage says "Bailey combines an astonishing command of the fingerboard with a seemingly endless flow of melodic invention." http://sherylbailey.com

Ilan Stavans in THE OVEN at Ko Festival of Performance

WHAT: The Ko Festival of Performance Presents Scholar Ilan Stavans on an Unexpected Journey in the Oven.
WHEN: Friday and Saturday, July 13 and 14 at 8:00 PM and Sunday, July 15 at 1:30 PM
WHERE: Holden Theater, Amherst College campus in Amherst, MA

AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS–“How does a mild-mannered scholar/writer/professor become a jaguar, kill and eat a deer?” raves Connie Congdon, playwright and author of Tales of the Lost Formicans, after seeing Ilan Stavan’s impulsive and transformative journey in THE OVEN. Ko Festival of Performance continues a season of “Radical Acts” with this humorous and poignant solo performance. THE OVEN will be performed July 13-15 in the Holden Theater at Amherst College.

On a State Department sponsored lecture tour of Latin American, internationally renowned public intellectual Ilan Stavans suddenly goes AWOL. A chance meeting with a shaman in Colombia sends Stavans into the Amazon rainforest, where he reluctantly agrees to participate in a religious ceremony that involves taking the hallucinogen ayahuasca. Even though he considered himself a skeptic and a rational intellectual, as someone whose worldview was defined by his education and his heritage as a Mexican Jew, Stavans finds that the ritual pushes him to reconsider many of his basic understandings, including his perceptions of indigenous cultures in Latin America, as well as his career as teacher, thinker, and artist.

This one-person show is delivered as an anti-lecture that mimics the author’s startling spiritual journey. “A compelling piece of stagecraft that documents the inner and outer workings of a mind on a narcotic trip, but it also documents the uncanny and serendipitous curiosity of a literature professor.”—William A. Nericcio, editor of Homer from Salinas: John Steinbeck’s Enduring Voice for California

"Gathering Light" is reflected in Mary Ann Kelly's meditative metal vessel forms and her elegant, introspective paintings, in Ellen Augarten's photography using double exposure and camera movement and in Jan Ruby Crystal's detailed and complex drawn imagery that reflects and absorbs the impact of light.  LEARN MORE

Reception: Friday July 13, 5 - 8pm during Northampton Arts Night Out

In Memoriam: Gordon Thorne 1941-2018

_____________________________________________________________________


Being responsible for creating the future it is important that we keep alive our capacity to imagine what that might be lest we continue to recreate the present.

Reality is created by imagination moving with/in time, which moves clockwise.  Because the Random Windmill Mobile Unit can move in a counter clockwise direction it has the capacity to unwind time and like Merlin, who lived backwards, “Transform something real into something imagined.”

If we accept these premises, which as an artist I am somewhat obligated to do, it is easier to imagine a future in which we might actually want to live.


Gordon Thorne, from his installation at A.P.E., January, 2018

Pottery Amplifies Community: a Wood Fire Workshop with Sam Taylor and Mark Shapiro


WHAT: Wood Fire Pottery Workshop with Sam Taylor and Mark Shapiro
WHERE: Craigarden, 501 Hurricane Rd, Keene, NY
WHEN: Sunday October 21, 2018 6:00 PM to Saturday, October 2, 2018 10:00 AM

Join us for a week-long conversation that will be filled with inquiry, humor, and compassion as we focus on our lives as potters, makers, and human beings.

ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME!

The idea that "together we can do it" started for Sam Taylor and Mark Shapiro 30 years ago when they built their first wood kiln together at the Stonepool Pottery. They’ve been at it ever since. In 2014 Sam and Mark joined with a group of potters to found POW (Pottery on Wheels!). In their own studio practices, Sam and Mark have been continuously evolving ways of bringing their work into communities, from rural classrooms, to inner city neighborhoods, to art centers and craft schools across the country.  They have been frequent exhibitors at every major craft venue in the US and renowned workshop presenters; many of their favorite experiences have involved collaborations together.

As Sam says, "Teaching with Mark is special. It's an ongoing conversation. I love to disagree with Mark [not because he is wrong (even though he is a lot) but...] because it leads to the next question. "  This workshop is a result of the dialog that Mark and Sam have been engaged in for years. 

This very special week-long workshop focuses attention on pottery as a tool for community building.  Participants will quickly create and strengthen their relationship to each other over the harvest, preparation, and enjoyment of many farm-to-fork meals, a wood kiln firing, and a team-building Pots To People project.  Through this project, participants will contribute to the strengthening of our local Adirondack community by designing and making pottery to give away to families in need. 

A Very Full Week:  Pots + Food + Community

Participants arrive on Sunday evening to a welcome meal harvested from our own farm and partner farms and prepared by our culinary artist-in-residence.  Each participant brings their own bisque-ware to be slipped, glazed, wadded and loaded on Monday under the guidance of Mark and Sam.  In addition to prepping for a Tuesday wood kiln firing, we'll source fresh, seasonal ingredients from the farm and farm store, divvy the chores, and meet the Craigardan staff that will assist in our journey to fire, make, and eat.

Tuesday's all-day firing will culminate in a kiln-side community BBQ dinner, curated and prepared by participants with assistance from Craigardan's professional farm and culinary staff.  Our Adirondack friends and neighbors will join us in celebrating the process and in sharing the feast.  While we wait for the kiln to cool, we'll spend Wednesday and Thursday teaming up to design and execute the Pots To People collective project in the studio + in the kitchen; watching demos, making pots, touring local farms, and eating beautiful, nourishing food. 

On Friday we'll unload the kiln, hold collective and individual critiques, and enjoy a closing, celebratory meal as a new clay community, strengthened by what we've created together in receiving and in giving. 

The Craigardan Experience

Participants are encouraged to experience Craigardan's interdisciplinary approach to life and art through hands-on participation in the on-farm harvesting of meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables, as well as through team culinary preparations, and complete access to a variety of studios, spaces, and perspectives during the week.  Accommodations are in the simple and elegant Farmhouse and Studiohouse; comfortable and spacious buildings with stunning views of the Adirondack's highest peaks.  Both houses have shared kitchen, living, and laundry rooms available for artists.  The kitchens will be stocked with farm-fresh ingredients for self-serve breakfasts and snacks.

Andrew Quient: Architectural Drawings and Ceramics 
Kichung Lizee and Erika Lizee: The Fleeting, Floating and Transient World of “Unsui,” Cloud and Water 

Exhibit: July 2-30, 2018
Reception: Wednesday July 11, 5:30-7:30 PM


With a dual background in ceramics and architecture, Andrew Quient keeps his feet in both worlds.
As a potter he creates wheel-thrown vessels, many with complex geometric decoration, inspired by his architectural training. As an architectural draftsman he is working on a series of renderings, in pencil, ink and watercolor, of notable Beaux-Arts buildings in New England.
Currently he is applying his skills to creating architectural form in clay. In this exhibit he will also include the series of renderings he recently completed in Italy.


Kichung Lizee from Shelburne Falls was born in Korea and trained in Eastern Calligraphy and Abstract Art, has had art shows and workshops around the world, and was an ordained Zen Priest. Her work allows spirit to flow through the brush and onto mulberry paper for a fluid and spontaneous style. Her Los Angeles based daughter-in-law, Erika Lizee, is gaining recognition as a visionary installation artist whose work has been featured in the Los Angeles International Airport, and major galleries and public venues.
Kichung was invited to explore the archives of Historic Northampton to seek an Asian connection. She discovered a poem sent to the founders of Historic Northampton, Thomas and Edith Shepherd, by a friend in Japan. The poem reflects the peace and serenity of a statue of Great Buddha that the Shepherds had found compelling. They had travelled extensively and maintained journals and photos of their travels in Asia that are now kept in the archives.
The poem and the Shepherds’ travel mementos from Asia inspired Kichung and Erika to create an exhibit based on the Japanese concept of “Unsui”, or “Cloud and Water”. In Japanese Buddhism this concept is represented by wandering monks and nuns who practice being in the present moment by inviting spirit to float through them like water and clouds.
It is their hope that this exhibit will inspire you to experience Unsui in a meaningful way.


Gallery Hours
Monday 9-9 ; Tuesday 1-5 ; Wednesday 9-9 ; Thursday 1-5 ; Friday & Saturday 9-5 ; closed Sundays and holidays.

Downtown Northampton Summer Concert Series: Kate Lorenz & the Constellations, Kimaya Diggs

WHAT: Summer Concert Series Featuring: Kate Lorenz & the Constellations, Kimaya Diggs
WHEN: Friday, July 20th, 5:30pm-7:30pm
WHERE: Hampshire County Courthouse Lawn, 15 Gothic St, Northampton, MA
How Much? FREE


About Kate Lorenz: 
Kate Lorenz has been singing ever since she learned to talk. An avid lover of classic rock and motown, she started off by singing what she heard on mix tapes and in her parents' vinyl collection and cut her teeth on the blues while studying abroad playing with a pub band in Ireland. Kate formed the nationally touring folk-rock band Rusty Belle with her brother Matt Lorenz (The Suitcase Junket) in 2006 and has recorded back-up vocals for fellow folk artists Chris Smither, Jeffrey Foucault, Caitlin Canty,  Hayward Williams, The Suitcase Junket and Zak Trojano.

Kate currently lives in Western MA and plays and sings with her rock-n-roll band Kate Lorenz & The Constellations (Ben Falkoff, Max Adam and Don McAulay) and with the Southern VT honky tonk band The Rear Defrosters. Her powerful voice has been compared to the gritty howls of Etta James and Janis Joplin and the tender country soul of Patsy Cline. Kate Lorenz's much-anticipated first solo album, "Sing When Lonely" was released  in January 2018 and is produced by Matt Lorenz.

Sing When Lonely is a collection of feel-good rockers, with detours into Nashville country and Memphis soul. Kate Lorenz’s big blast of a voice has never sounded better and her songwriting chops shine. On this disc, she shows us a different musical side than what we heard in Rusty Belle. She gets to scream, play guitar, sing about dive bars and is obviously having a whole lot of fun. It is contagious and the listener can’t resist turning up the volume and singing along. Who knew that this preschool teacher by day was such a rocker by night?" -Sheryl Hunter “The Greenfield Recorder”



About Kimaya Diggs:
Kimaya Diggs is a musician and teaching artist based in Northampton, MA. Her debut album, Breastfed, came out in April.

With influences spanning many genres, Kimaya Diggs melds the folky acrobatics of Joni Mitchell, the jazz stylings of Ella Fitzgerald, the catchy soul of Lianne LaHavas, and yet has something you can't quite put your finger on that makes her entirely unique. Her mastery of her voice is the focal point of each performance, and a transfixing experience

Her debut album, Breastfed, is a chronicle of bittersweet growing pains, expansive and generous. Whether roaring along with reckless urgency or irreverently recounting painful memories, Breastfed wrangles the growing-up narrative in a boldfaced, darkly humorous way.
