Nichole’s Picks 1/21 + 1/22
Pick #1: VANESSA TRIEN & THE JUMPING MONKEYS
Part of the Family Series at The Cabot in Beverly, this show is at 10:30 on Saturday. Doors open at 9:30. Tickets cost $8.50 for children and $13.50 for grown-ups.
Vanessa Trien has been performing music for kids and families since 2005, many of those years in collaboration with her lively folk/roots/pop band, the Jumping Monkeys. She has three Parents’ Choice award-winning CDs for kids and families and is currently working on her fourth album, due out this winter. Vanessa packs concert halls, preschool fundraisers and outdoor venues with dancing kids and families.
She is known for her highly interactive shows, featuring plenty of group singing and movement. One of her most requested songs, “Tickle Monster” has families sneaking around on tip toe and then on queue, all start tickling each other!
In addition to performing, Vanessa teaches as an early childhood music specialist in preschool and pre-K classrooms in Brookline and has also taught parent and child group Music Together classes for ten years. Originally from New York City.
Vanessa moved to Boston in the nineties to attend Harvard’s Graduate School for Education and has stayed ever since, first diving into the Cambridge folk music scene and festival production and then eventually jumping with her whole heart into the wild and wonderful world of children’s music!

Quick Little Getaway
We wanted a quick night in the city with friends after the Christmas crazies but before the actual New Year’s Eve mayhem, so I spent all of about ten minutes looking for a hotel for a Friday night in an area of Boston that has some restaurants and bars that we like to go to.
We landed at the Residence Inn by Marriott in the Seaport on Congress Street. Super inexpensive, comfortable, spacious, industrial, and funky. With a full kitchen, a seating area, and a large bedroom, we were able to sit for drinks with friends in our room before actually heading out for the night. With tons of restaurants/bars within walking distance, we didn’t even bother to hop in a taxi during the course of the evening.
If you’re overdue for a quick little getaway, can’t go far, and want it to be easy…I highly recommend it.

Tell us what the community needs! Please take this quick survey.
Every three years, Action conducts a comprehensive assessment of our community to learn how our programs are working, what we could do better, and what issues are most important to Cape Ann residents. The feedback we collect will help us plan our programs and partnerships in the future. One of the ways in which we gather community feedback is through the Cape Ann Community Survey.
We would like to get as many responses as possible – the more feedback we get, the more informed our strategic plan will be.
Could you please help us spread the word and get people involved?
Thanks so much for your help and support!
