Help Steve Caraway make a new CD
By now, you’ve probably heard of artists raising money from fans in order to make their next CD. It’s call crowdfunding and it works. As a musician, your chances of getting signed by a label are smaller now than ever before — and, frankly, getting “signed” isn’t what it used to me. By the time you’re done recording your next record, you’re likely to be in debt to the label for more than you’ll ever make selling it.
Many top Cape Ann Artists have used various forms of crowdsourcing to fund recording projects (see my post about Chelsea Berry and KickStarter here.)
Crowdsourcing is not donating. It’s more like paying for the CD before you get it — and it’s usually a good deal. Plus you can choose from all sorts of goodies offered by the artist.
The latest crowdsourcing project that I’m aware of is Steve Caraway’s and he’s offering some very inventive “perks”, including an opportunity to actually perform on his new CD, which might sound crazy if it weren’t coming from Gloucester’s king of open mics!
Steve is a member of several bands, including Secret Service, Fun Bucket, Miss Judy’s Farm and an all-around booster for Gloucester’s thriving music scene. He describes this project not so much as a solo album, but a collaborative effort with many local musicians. Check out his video, below and make a pledge here. Rock on Steve!

Trident Gallery Under Construction At 189 Main St- A Video Conversation With Dr Matthew Swift
Part 1 In a Four Part Series Of 191 Main Street Redevelopment
From The Trident Gallery Website–
Trident Gallery mounts regular exhibitions and maintains an inventory of art with a Cape Ann story — works of art having a meaningful connection to Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
Meaningful connections to Cape Ann are diverse in kind: some works depict or transform scenes of the region; other works are profoundly rooted in the artist’s experiences of Cape Ann’s towns, landscapes, and sea horizons, and its vibrant matrix of interwoven communities.
Following this program, Trident Gallery shows original and limited-edition works art in all media, concentrating on paintings, works on paper, and photography. Gallery artists are both emerging and established, and most of them are living today and making their art on Cape Ann. A diversity of artistic styles — representational and abstract, traditional and contemporary — reflects the diversity of the artistic practices on Cape Ann. Gallery inventory reflects the full diversity of the art of Cape Ann; gallery exhibitions emphasize contemporary art.
Owner and Gallery Director Dr. Matthew Swift draws on academic expertise, four decades of personal knowledge of Cape Ann, and four generations of family involvement with Cape Ann art to illuminate the connection of each work of art in the gallery to Cape Ann and show its place in the region’s history, helping patrons take fuller delight in the art.
Trident Gallery also curates nationwide for avant garde art, reaching beyond its usual boundaries to bring challenging and invigorating new work into public view on Cape Ann and foster the participation of the region in the ongoing global conversation of art with life.
Trident Gallery is connected, intelligent, and progressive. It employs cutting edge processes and technologies to serve its artists, patrons, and the public. The art world is changing, Cape Ann is changing, and Trident Gallery is at the fore.

Andrew is Leaving Cape Ann TV
Andrew Love has been hired away by a neighboring TV station. I am so happy for Andrew’s new job opportunity but think I speak for the entire community when I say we are so sorry to see him leave CATV. Andrew will be sorely, sorely missed by all.
Andrew will continue to live on Cape Ann, and remains available to hire as a freelance producer, videographer, editor, director–Andrew’s skills are many–and as I said before, Andrew is a genius! Seriously!
The following is a short film Andrew made for the company videoimpacts. It is a story that highlights the dangers of texting and driving. Beautiful work and great job Andrew!

The Latest Striper Video From Brianmoc
After one of the slowest May in years (10 years according to my logs) warmer winds and less rain brought bigger fish up river for Thursday, Friday, Saturday but not Sunday as the fish rested that day. Bait was herring dropping back but warm on Sunday. it got so warm we will be looking for the sand eels as bait in the coming weeks. Finicky fish all three days as the bass had all the bait they could eat and there heads where down pushing bait out of the marsh

Video Interview With June 2013 Goetemann Artist in Residence : Allison Hornak
Allison Hornak speaks about her Goeteman Residency On Rocky Neck. Check out her website to learn more about her work and her vision
Painting and building are my practice. I have devotion toward material, and I am as devoted to aerosol paints as I am to mud. All material is flesh and connotes promiscuously within society and nature. Then there is the problem of the impulse to order. As an artist I need to still stuff. Each piece acts as a halt—a submission, as a person, to the need to resist chaos. What chaos? Every artwork, every mark: a deceleration. Every one a breaking. Since, still, at the end of the day, at a turn, rupture is in the lull. This is my protest. I (am) matter too.

Best Bands in MA coming to Gloucester
It’s a revolution — a slow one. Perhaps you haven’t even noticed. In school we’re taught about revolutions as if they happen all at once. But most of them don’t. They take years. One day, you look around and everything has changed. It’s hard to notice the revolution when we’re in the middle of it. That’s where we are now — in the middle of Gloucester’s music revolution. Here’s how you can tell:
On Sunday, The Brew, recently named Best Band in New England by the New England Music Awards, will be at Minglewood. One quick listen and you’ll know why they won.
Music on Sundays at Minglewood? That’s right. This Sunday 6/2 Minglewood Tavern launches a new night of music. Let’s get down there and prove them right for adding another night to the Gloucester music revolution.
Next Saturday, Boston Magazine’s Best Local Band, Three Day Threshold plays The Rhumbline. This band ROCKS and defies genre. Listen here. They’ve also got a great sense of humor as evidenced by their Facebook description: “good country gone terribly terribly bad”.
If you look at their tour dates, you see they’re at Meadowbrook Pavilion, Middle East Downstairs (the big room) and the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. But YOU can see them at The Rhumbline without even crossing the bridge. That’s revolution.
While you’re at it, check out tomorrow’s Rhumbline choice, Under Griffin’s Porch. Here’s a prediction: It won’t be long before they win a Best Band award.
Gloucester’s music revolution is all around you. Join in and have some fun!

It’s a rainy, two-show night in Gloucester
The way I look at it, a rainy night is perfect for music in one of Gloucester’s restaurants. You’re not gonna fire up the grill. Picnic on the beach? Nope. Dinner on the boat? Fuggedaboutit.
Tonight you can catch two great shows. Start at 7pm with local favorite John Rockwell featuring Dave Brown (one of the best guitarists alive today) at Alchemy (one of only 2 Gloucester restaurants with 4.5 stars on Yelp and Gloucester’s highest rated restaurant with music).
Then head over to Minglewood and rock out with Dennis Monagle, Ned Nugent and Mark Pelosi at 9pm.
Check out this video and you’ll know what I mean when I say rockin’
