This From Shhh, Listen…
Fax Holiday is the recording/performing name of Eric Schermerhorn (formerly of Mutt and Margin Walker), and it is also the name of a Boston-based indie/folk band containing Schermerhorn (vocals, guitars, autoharp), Ian Macleod (bass, vocals), Elizabeth Bollenberg (violin, harp), and Dana Diplacido (percussion). Importantly, it is also the name of one of my favorite bands of the last few months. Their new album – Rope & Wine – is a solid musical effort – combining indie-rock numbers like “Dropping Out” with more introspective, folk-inspired tunes like “Salt.” Regardless of presentation, each song feels as if it is rooted in something that is deeply personal – coming to the listener as if from a diary entry. It’s a combination that comes up a lot in these parts (you might be familiar with a similar formula as seen in the work of Galaxie 500), and produces an amazingly vibrant emotional tapestry.
Also, it rocks. Did I mention that it rocks?

You may remember EB’s entries from the Sketchbook Project–
The Family was honored to sail on the 14th Birthday Sail aboard the Schooner Thomas E. Lannon last night on her 14th Birthday. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- There is no more beautiful boat in Gloucester Harbor and going on an afternoon sail is a MUST DO activity for anyone- tourist or resident alike.
Do yourself a favor and book a sail here- Schooner.org
This will be a family collaboration post as The Bean and Snoop Maddie Mad both helped take pictures for the entry-

From The Cape Ann Community Cinema website-
St. Peter’s Fiesta is Gloucester, Massachusetts’ longtime early summer tradition that keeps the city in the grips of anticipation for 11 months of the year as it awaits the gala celebration that honors the patron saint of its heritage, St. Peter. Sam Hartson’s brand new documentary “This Is Fiesta” offers a glimpse at the Italian festival that the residents of America’s oldest fishing port hold so dear.
Donna Ardizzoni Writes-
