Angel Band makes big noise. Loud noise. Boisterous, sad, sweet, goofy, glorious and angelic. Any which way you look at it this stuff gets your attention. Whether it's the crazy tight three part harmony, the killer backup playing, the stories, the passion or the compassion, it gets your attention.

The songs are mostly self-penned, weaving vivid images, powerful lyrics, musical integrity and "chops" to write home about. The core of the band is held by the three singers: Nancy Josephson, Aly Paige and Kathleen Weber. All are experienced on lead and backup vocals. The love of the sound that three female voices make together is at the center of this group. The chord rules the day. Both mystical and elemental when the three hit "it" the hair on the back of your neck's gonna stand up. The difficult to pigeonhole sound that emanates from the band roams from old time "mountain" music to contemporary rock and roll influenced originals.

Two Massachusetts artists present an exhibition that demonstrates the potential of structure-based freedom. Catherine Carter’s web-like networks, extruded as fluid paint through squeeze-bottles and rooted in the configurations of hand-writing, imply energetic movement and impressionistic forms. Jeanne Williamson’s grid-based compositions derive from architectural elements – both in spirit, as the artist is inspired by views of building facades under construction, and literally, as she uses lengths of orange construction fencing as a template to print through. Together, their work goes beyond its organized framework with twisting lines, bouncing shapes and glowing colors.

About the photographs:

The creation of this series of photographs began ( innocently-enough ) with a picture of cut daffodils, just beginning to open, in a vase in the photographer’s kitchen. A week later, the fading bouquet was bundled with an elastic bow and tossed out into the cold on a glass-topped patio table. As the flowers deteriorated, more pictures were made as time, light, and weather conditions affected the daffodils over the next six weeks, resulting an a wide variety of images.



About the photographer:

Jack Foley, 55, grew up in North Andover, Massachusetts. At age six, he was given an old box camera as a toy, and has been playing with cameras ever since. He is a staff photographer for The Herald News, a daily newspaper in Fall River, Massachusetts. He has been a newspaper photographer for more than 30 years. He and his wife, D.J., live in Warwick, R.I.

Location=Narrows Center for the Arts, 16 Anawan St., Fall River Joe Krown (Hammond B-3), Walter Wolfman Washington (guitar & vocals) & Russell Batiste (drums & background vocals) started playing together in March 2007. The trio has been performing every Sunday at a local New Orleans nightclub, the Maple Leaf Bar. The combination of the soulful vocals of Walter
with the big sound of the Hammond B-3 (which Joe also plays all of the bass parts on the B-3) and the masterful drumming skills of Russell Batiste Jr. has developed it's own unique sound. The trio recorded and released a live CD, Live at the Maple Leaf (JK1003) in the fall of 2008. Live at the Maple Leaf captures the magic of these great musicians. "A killer collaboration between three of New Orleans greatest players!" Jan Ramsey, offBEAT Magazine.

His true identify remains a mystery, despite his surfacing in Canada in the 1970s. He's mastered the old-timey sound with his unique voice and strumming. You may have seen him on Saturday Night Live years ago, the Tonight Show or elsewhere. His last show at the Narrows sold out quickly.

featuring work by Cynthia Swanson, Sand T, Hannah Verlin

All forms of art-making embrace the word linear – it is an essential element of visual language. Words such as logic, perception, and thinking seem to be a perfect mate to our notions of line. Terms like value, shape, form, edge, and contour provide the structure through which we can evaluate and interpret art forms and are elemental to our understanding of line.

Two- and three-dimensional works of art share ideas about line albeit in somewhat different ways. Both exist in time and space, can be viewed from various vantage points – but sculpture unlike drawing cannot be seen in its entirety at any given time. What one knows from one vantage point may not be perceived from in the same way from another.

Materiality plays an important role in the works in this exhibition. It serves to reveal aspects of line, place, time, and space. Whether temporal or permanent, metaphoric or objective, each artist carries these ideas and forms into her works.

Swanson holds a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Tyler School of Art at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA and Bachelors of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA. She recently co-authored along with J. Barton, and D. Sawyer, They Want to Learn How to Think: Using Art to Enhance Comprehension, Language Arts, 85(2), 125-132. Recent exhibition include Eclectic Abstraction, Spirol Gallery, Quinebaug Valley Community College, Danielson,CT; Paper Dialectics, The Art Gallery, Kent State University, Trumbull Campus, Warren, OH; Talking Papers, Mazmanian Gallery, Framingham State College, Framingham, MA; Elusive Geometries, Chazan Gallery, Wheeler School, Providence, RI.

Sand T earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Tufts University and the Museum School. Awards include the 2009 New England Art Awards awarded by the New England Journal of Aesthetic Research in February 2010; an Exceptional Work Award from TLGUTS in June 2009, a Solo Exhibition Award by Caladan Gallery in May 2009; a First Place award given by Nicholas Capasso, curator of the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park for her submission to a juried show at Clark University in November 2007. Sand T’s work resides in public and private art collections world-wide. Her works have recently been added to the permanent collection of the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Location=Narrows Center for the Arts, 16 Anawan St., Fall River When Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman of the critically acclaimed duo Aztec Two-Step burst upon the scene in 1972 on Elektra Records, they were often reviewed as having the “East Coast sensibility,” “intellectual lyricism,” and “ethereal harmonies” of their legendary predecessors, Simon & Garfunkel.
Renowned for bringing the folk/rock music of the 1960s into the '70s as staples of progressive FM and college radio, Aztec Two-Step continues to be one of acoustic music's most respected and enduring acts. Possessing such a rich musical legacy of their own, few groups are more qualified to interpret and perform the timeless songs and harmonies of Simon & Garfunkel.
This show will feature Rex & Neal performing music from their Simon & Garfunkel Songbook plus Aztec Two-Step fan-favorites from their long and remarkable career!
