The Blues Trail Revisited

In 1971, Ted Reed drove through the South to find some of the last living blues legends and to discover the roots of American music. Fifty years later, Reed returned to experience the evolution of American music, resulting in this memoir that encompasses the upheavals of Civil Rights and the power of memory.

“A story of blues friends, fans and follow-through, Ted Reed’s remarkable BLUES TRAIL REVISITED spans 50 years — tying together past Southern blues traditions with those of the present-day and perhaps even the future.”
– Roger Stolle, Cat Head Promotions

“The memories that this film brought back were outstanding and made me want to go back and discover some of the places that I missed . . . This movie will also make anyone that is not into the Blues or Mississippi change their mind.”
– Paul Benjamin, North Atlantic Blues Festival

Gloucester Stage wants to give a big shout out to Tono’s Neal Maver as their very special Chef Consultant on the production of SEARED being performed now through August 22 at Windhover Center for Performing Arts in Rockport!

Maver shared the tricks of the culinary trade with the play’s lead James Louis Wagner recently in his busy kitchen of Tono in Gloucester to get Wagner ready for the show.

Gloucester Stage’s  hilarious and insightful new play, SEARED is set in an intimate working kitchen of a New York City restaurant where it explores the delicate balance between a creative spirit navigating success, recognition, and responsibility to a financial bottom line.  

Gloucester Stage’s performances are outdoors Wednesday through Saturday at 7:30 pm and Saturday and Sunday at 3:30 pm at Windhover Center for the Performing Arts, 257R Granite St, Rockport, MA. Tickets are now on sale and available at www.GloucesterStage.com.

U.S. Coast Guard Station Gloucester

At 1430 Coast Guard Station Gloucester was conducting training on the CG 47322 in the vicinity of Ten Pound Island when they were diverted for a search and rescue case involving 2 injured boaters on board a 23ft vessel, one with a reported back injury, near Thatchers Island. At 1454 MLB 47322 arrived on scene and transferred 2 Station Gloucester personnel to the vessel to render aid. The Coast Guard personnel assessed the patients and rendered appropriate first aid and proceeded to closely escort the vessel into Rockport Harbor where EMS was standing by. Once safely moored the Coast Guard members transferred both injured boaters to Rockport EMS for further evaluation and transport to the hospital. Many thanks to all our port partners, Gloucester and Rockport Fire Departments and the Gloucester and Rockport Harbormaster’s for their continued support!
