Live Music at the Cape Ann Museum
May 25, 2016 ~ Cape Ann Museum
Music in the Courtyard with Henri Smith
Saturday, May 28
11:00 a.m. — 1:00 p.m.
Musician, Henri Smith brings his legendary New Orleans style to the Cape Ann Museum’s Courtyard to perform in celebration of the first Harbortown Arts Festival. Free and open to the public. Bring a friend, grab some food, hope for good weather* and enjoy an all-star performance!
Smith was born and raised in the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans, and began his career polishing his sophisticated and dramatic vocal delivery at a young age. Today he thrills audiences with his New Orleans Jazz, Blues, Creole and Cajun flavored music touring extensively throughout the United States and Europe. After Hurricane Katrina destroyed his home in New Orleans Smith moved to Cape Ann, where he now lives and shares his Creole and Cajun heritage.
*In the event of inclement weather the concert will be moved inside the Museum.

Calling All Small Boat Owners!
May 24, 2016 ~ maritimegloucesterprograms
MARITIME GLOUCESTER is hosting the SOLAR VOYAGER project, a group of marine robotics engineers who have custom-built a solar-powered, autonomous boat, with the goal of being the first to cross the Atlantic. The robotics engineers are looking for boat skippers who would be interested in helping them with the testing of this boat in Gloucester Harbor from May 26 – June 7.
Here are the details: SOLAR VOYAGER are looking for small boats which can take at least two team members as passengers to tow the boat to and from the outer harbor, and follow it around during testing. Although it is a volunteer-based organization, the Solar Voyager team would be able to compensate interested boat skippers for their fuel costs.
