Update on Cape Ann Big Band and the Jambalaya Horns are here to spread some Holiday Cheer this season! 12.19.2020

Posted on by Joanne

JHORNS BREAKING NEWS: Due to residual snow accumulation, street/sidewalk conditions we need to alter tonight’s caroling routes in order to keep everyone safe. Please see the attached flyer for our mini-neighborhood drops on location. Happy Holidays!!!

Greetings Friends!

Please read this through as there is some important information regarding our Mission to spread the Magic this Holiday Season!
1. We’ve tried our best to reach as many neighborhoods as possible, but due to weather, and a pending storm, we’ve had to reschedule some of our previously released dates and times.
2. REMINDER – COVID Safety First and Foremost – During any other time we would love to share the music and moment by having people join, sing, and parade with us. However, in order to keep everyone safe we ask that you enjoy the music at a distance of 6-10ft and refrain from joining or parading. This is a hard thing to ask, but we look forward to doing this again next year and having you join in!
3. Many of you have inquired about Tips or Donations. Yes, of course we accept, but our mission is simply to spread the Joy and Cheer! This has been a difficult time for all, and musicians and artists alike have been without work for nearly a year. If you would like to Tip the group we have a Venmo set up at JHorns or JambalayaHorns. https://venmo.com/u/JambalayaHorns
4. We are grateful for YOU, our community. Whether it’s the full Cape Ann Big Band, a performance with the students at O’maley, or our regular playing around the island, we know well that none of it is possible without your support! The past 2 weeks have been truly MAGICAL!
Wishing you health and happiness this Holiday season!

CODA is world premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

From Sian Heder:
I am so damn excited to announce that my film CODA is world premiering at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival! This is such a special film to me, the process of making it was honestly life changing and I can’t wait for the world to experience it!  #Sundance is doing things differently this year with online screenings via festival.sundance.org and Satellite Screens across the country, so you can access it on your own screens or in your community!
Hope you’ll join us January 28 – February 3. Tickets on sale, January 7.  
I’m so proud of my actors and my crew and the whole city of Gloucester (now the whole town gets to talk about something else besides The Perfect Storm)!

after winter storm- white snow bright homes #GloucesterMA

Posted on by Catherine

Thank you to all the road crews and good eggs shoveling public ways!

Digging out photos: A few after the winter storm scenes of downtown Gloucester by 9:30AM 12/18/2020. Any surface brick or stone is slick as can be. Evergreen pine trees & wreaths were randomly frosted like the Kancamagus Highway. Yet snow was already gone from the marsh.

Eagle Pair Returns to Magnolia!

Posted on by Pat D

Eagles were soaring over the marsh behind our house in Magnolia just prior to the storm and we have high hopes they might nest nearby. I first spotted one flying by carrying something (food or maybe nesting material) and chased by several crows. Then, a bit later, I saw a pair in a nearby tree perch. It’s SO EXCITING to see these guys every single time. Keep your eyes open!
