JANUARY 5, 2026 ~ THE CUT LIVE

Thursday we have reggae LEGEND Luciano Messenjah up on The Cut stage for the first time! Soul Rebel Project will be opening and there are still some tickets available. Don’t miss this opportunity!! Doors are at 8pm. Show at 8:30pm. 

Friday we will have Joe Wilkins & Friends performing live in the restaurant from 7pm-9pm. No cover. Just come hang, grab a drink and some Detroit style pizza, and enjoy the neighborhood bar vibes!

Saturday it’s Tantric with support from Charing Cross up on The Cut stage. Both bands are new to The Cut, but tickets are going FAST. Grab yours while there are still some left. This show is part of answering the call for “harder” bands. If you’ve been hounding us for an opportunity to headbang, jump around and really ROCK, this is it. Doors are at 7pm. Show at 8pm. 

Plus we are throwing it down with DJ Vito & Friends in the restaurant from 9 to close! DJ Vito Ferrara & Friends will be with us every Saturday night. No cover. Follow us on social media for guest DJ updates!

Sunday we’ll have all the NFL wild card playoff games on in the restaurant. The Pats play at 8pm. You still have a chance to enter to win a VIP Super Bowl Party experience in the venue for you and your crew. All you have to do it watch a game at The Cut.

JANUARY 1, 2026 ~ SAWYER FREE LIBRARY

Please join the Sawyer Free Library on Thursday evening, January 8, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm for a conversation with Peter Swanson, acclaimed local author of Kill Your Darlings, The Kind Worth Killing, Eight Perfect Murders, and more. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session and an opportunity for book signings. Copies of Peter’s books will be available for purchase at the event courtesy of The Bookstore of Gloucester.

The event will take place in the Sawyer Free Library’s Community Room, located on the ground floor at 2 Dale Avenue. To register visit sawyerfreelibrary.org.

Peter Swanson is a Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of eleven novels, including The Kind Worth Killing, winner of the New England Society Book Award and a finalist for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger, and Her Every Fear, an NPR Book of the Year. His work has been translated into more than 30 languages, and his stories, poetry, and features have appeared in Asimov’s Science Fiction, The Atlantic, Measure, The Guardian, The Strand Magazine, and Yankee Magazine.

In his latest novel, The Kind Worth Saving, Swanson revisits characters from The Kind Worth Killing, as a private investigator follows a possibly adulterous husband—only to discover that the twisted trail leads back to the woman who hired him.

A graduate of Trinity College, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Emerson College, Swanson lives in Gloucester with his wife.

A great visit Gloucester high school students.

Thank you for a warm write up.
