Dave says, Thursday at the Rhummy: It’s the Tootin’ Torquemada of the Tenor: Mr. Andrew Clark! Yes, yes, our overgrown beatnik returns to regale you with toons from the ventpipe, cleverly distributed around the playing of our other featured musicians like Mr. Mike DiBari, gooey glitarist, and toe-tappin’ drummbler Mr. Chris Anzelone, suono buoni. I’m playin’ too. Hours 7 to 10. This is a really really good band. You must see this before you die. Soon, I hope.

In case you haven’t stopped by 7 Seas Wharf Market Place on Rogers St (at the former sight of the Gloucester House restaurant), let me tell you that you are missing out on a little treat. The wonderful Cake Ann bakery is located there along with the Gloucester House Gift Shop. Cape Ann Auction has a little corner in the gift shop as well, so it’s quite a treat. There’s a warm and welcoming area inside to enjoy your snacks as well as outdoor seating overlooking the working wharf.
We picked up some Goose-Gronk cookies which were perfect and a savory scone from Cake Ann (always delicious). They are also offering homemade dog treats which we got as a surprise for a dog we know……shhh….. Stop down! I think you’ll be glad you did.

Each of these artists is also a member of The Experimental Group of The Rockport Art Association. This group embraces chance and experimentation, allowing the artist’s intuition and feelings to convey attitudes and emotions through nontraditional means. It is through practice and experimentation that artists encounter unforeseen and unexpected outcomes across varying media and range of personal experiences. Founded by renowned artist and teacher, Nella Lush, The Experimental Group promotes and encourages self-expression by giving artists the opportunity to come together, explore and share ideas. Through its monthly meetings with art presentations, demos, and talks The Experimental Group offers connection, exploration, and sharing of ideas and methods with the intent to reach creative freedom and increases awareness in our communities that all art forms matter.
The Cove Gallery, run by the Rocky Neck Art Colony, is the former home and gallery space of beloved Rocky Neck artists Gordon and Judith Goetemann. Cove continues the tradition set by the Goetemanns of showing the best in local art. The space is made available to the organization through the generosity of Gordon and Judith’s son Mark Goetemann.
