Gloucester MA, August 6, 2015 — The Rocky Neck Art Colony is presenting an exciting exhibition entitled “Inner Field”. This group show by the seven artists of Cripple Cove Studios highlights each artist’s exploration of their own inner field. At the same time it reflects on the interconnections created by the space they share. The artists include: Anna Vojtech, Sinikka Nogelo,  Linda Lagano Sojda, Sandy Simon, Terry Del Percio- Piemonte, Mary Davies Cole, Deborah Flynn Aldrich, joined by sculptor Roland Cornelis.

The public is invited to an opening reception for the artists on Saturday, September 26, 4:00-6:00 PM. Light refreshments will be served in the recently air-conditioned space. Music by Barb Levine on the hammered dulcimer.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

As artists, we each retreat into our own inner field in order to create meaningful art.  As members of Cripple Cove Studios, we share the inner field of this dedicated space. Crossing the threshold, each artist leaves the outside world behind to cultivate, imagine and discover their own artistic journey.

On Sunday October 4, from 4:00-6:00 PM, join the Cripple Cove artists for a poetry reading by former Cripple Cove member and poet, Dorothy Shubow Nelson and a conversation on “Inner Field: Yours, Mine and Ours”.

Today Rocky Neck continues to attract artists and art lovers to a thriving creative community. For up to date information visit rockyneckartcolony.org

I’ll email you the details about the Sox tickets and I’ll have the shirt at the dock by Friday.

Thanks to everyone who participated

You want to support local music and score some pretty excellent songs written about our beloved Gloucester at the very same time…. head straight to the link below!

Take the time to take a listen.

Satch Kerans has just released his 5th solo album and after listening it to it during yesterday’s Patriots game it was a total no-brainer to go ahead and buy it on his “bandcamp” page for a mere $7.  The songs are “folky rock” (or at least that is what this non-musician would call them) and, when I closed my eyes…which is how I always need to listen to new music…I kind of felt like I was soaring over Gloucester Harbor, the docks, the fishing fleet, through downtown, and towards Rockport.

Of course, don’t just take my word for it….

“Years after settling into an entirely different identity and new set of priorities – Kerans reemerges with some of the best songs he’s ever written. At the collection’s core is a clutch of sturdy melodies and classic pop structures…Kerans gets better and surer with age”.

In case you were under a rock…or maybe just not living on Cape Ann and the greater surrounding area during the 80s, the 90s, and a bit beyond…Satch Kerans drew crazy crowds with his band The Catalinas (ahhhh…the memories).  While he’s also now rocking the baseball and soccer fields as a father, husband, and coach…his musical talents have only grown stronger.

If, by any chance, I haven’t given you enough reason to go ahead and take a listen, buy a song, or buy the entire album…it is worth noting that solo album #5 by Satch Kerans is also dedicated to his friend, Ed Gieras, who passed away in April, 2015 after enduring Huntington’s Disease.

Satch was sure to include the link where we can all help find a cure for Huntington’s Disease on his BandCamp page.
