My Musical Guest: LIZ FRAME!
This week, we feature one of my all-time favorite musical guests.
The amazing Liz Frame. Every bit as smart and sassy as any songwriter you’d ever expect to find, with a performance and delivery that backs it all up 1000%.
We have brother JB to thank for bringing her into the Rhumb Line fold. He knows “great” when he sees and hears it. Once again… we go 6 to 9pm. ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!
*Each week features a special, invited musical guest The Rhumb Line Kitchen……better than ever before! Plus a fine, affordable wine menu!

The season again opens with the acclaimed John Baboian Ensemble from the Berklee School in support of Pathways for Children.

Some of this season’s offerings include: What Time Is it Mr. Fox? with Brian King; singer Mari Martin; Willie Alexander’s Persistence of Memory Orchestra; The Goddesses; and The Cape Ann Big Band. The Middle Eastern group, Hye Fusion, returns with music ideal for line dancing and there are two newcomer ensembles to delight music-lovers: the internationally-acclaimed Klezmer band, Ezekiel’s Wheels and Vermont lyrical Folk duo, The Early Risers.

Restoration of the Green Coming Up Soon!
After many years of neglect Meetinghouse Green is in need of a thorough restoration. Last year, summer series virtual audiences contributed $7,500 towards a Feasibility Study by the firm Landesign, Inc. to improve accessibility and enhance safety. The GMF is currently seeking large government and foundation grants plus individual donations to fund this over $200K project, slated to begin this fall and be completed in time for the 2022 summer series.
About the GMF
The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit modeled upon the Old North Foundation in relation to Boston’s famous Old North Church. Its mission is to preserve the landmark building as a civic hub, entertainment venue, and community center. The ongoing preservation of the building seeks to combine the highest standard of restoration with energy conservation techniques and has achieved a ‘net-zero’ building carbon footprint with the help of Reforest the Tropics and its climate-change initiative TownGreen/2025.
Building History and the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation
Completed in 1806 for the first Universalist Church in America, the grand Federal Style, 600-seat Meetinghouse with a 110’ lantern steeple and Paul Revere Bell is a jewel in the heart of the Historic District. Now well into its third century serving the people of Cape Ann, its history is steeped in the establishment of religious freedom in Massachusetts and the Constitutional separation of church and state. Home of the present-day Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church and host to The Grace Center, the building is alive with activities like concerts, family-friendly entertainment, events, symposia and civic celebrations.

Dave is still laid up but feeling much better about his recent knee replacement.
Brian Templeton’s barrelhouse belting style of singing, hot harmonica playing and exuberant onstage persona has garnered him a legion of fans in the U.S, Europe and beyond. As an international blues sensation, and all around cool cat, Brian Templeton is a veteran New England blues star who rose to worldwide fame as the front man of The Radio Kings. He’s a top notch vocalist and harp player, a riveting performer, and a master of down home Texas and Chicago style blues. The main thing he prides himself on is his ability to entertain his fans. “I don’t think of myself as a musician first but as a showman. I want my audience involved, whether it be by dancing, singing or just clapping along to the beat.” This onstage attitude has earned him the reputation as one of Boston’s most dynamic performers and a legion of dedicated fans.

Fred Shrigley says, If you are coming to the Rhumb Line be aware that most of Washington St is under construction and parking is impossible after 8am in the morning…cones are everywhere. I will see if the construction crews can remove the cones after they are finished their day’s work. In the meantime:
Plenty of parking a short walk away at the MBTA parking lot which is free at night and mostly empty

Event by Alexandra Grace Music Online with Facebook Live Sunday at 7:30 PM EDT Price: Free Public · Anyone on or off Facebook Join me for a stripped down acoustic performance of my new EP Solstice! I’ll be sharing the stories behind each of the 5 songs and performing the album from beginning to end.

Hello all! It’s been a long Winter.. For me, my kitchen and basement flooded so I decided while construction was being done, it was time to find something good from something bad. I took my paints, my brushes and my canvas’ and I escaped to the ocean, my place of peace. I could paint any time with no distraction, watching the sunrise. Tides coming in and out, listening to the waves crash on the rocks while watching the water trickle down back into the ocean. I sat there all day painting into the sun setting over the Twin Lights. As a result I was able to hang 54 of my paintings, many of which were done in Rockport, MA during my 3 month stay. My artwork is on display at 4 Centennial Drive in Peabody through April 24th. I will be live painting this Thursday from 4-6, Saturday April 17th from 3-7, and Thursday April 22nd from 4-6. If anyone is interested in coming and checking it out I would love to have you.
