Chelsea Berry is a powerhouse vocalist and performer based out of New England. Dubbed “the Pink of folk music” by acclaimed singer songwriter Susan Werner, Chelsea’s shows are driven by her dynamic stage presence, heartfelt lyrics and stories, and masterful writing. She has released 10 original albums over her 25 year career and has collaborated on projects with dozens of other writers and performers. Her music is played regularly on Sirius XM’s The Loft and has been featured on local radio and TV stations from Modesto to Manhattan. 

A favorite among venues up and down the East Coast, Berry’s beautiful voice and commanding stage presence have taken her on the road as support for Livingston Taylor, Chris Smither, Mavis Staples, Chris Isaak, Shawn Colvin, and many others. 

Berry’s newest original album, “Peace Love & Happiness”, was released in 2022. It was created with the founder of Foundation Joy, a nonprofit in New Hampshire which channels funds into helping drug addicts through rehabilitation.

Chris + Joe (Chris Langathianos and Joe Wilkins), a Cape Ann, Massachusetts-based duo with deep roots in the Greater Boston music scene, and winners of the 2020 New England Songwriting Competition, are known for their tight harmonies, thoughtful songs, and engaging banter. Joe, a multi-instrumentalist, expert songwriter, and producer, teamed up with vocalist and live event producer, Langathianos, 10 years ago, and they have continued to capture audiences with their easy and melodic, yet diverse, style and approachable sets.

It’s a Family Affair (with a nod to Sly and the Family Stone)

For musician Chelsea Berry, her return to Gloucester is indeed a family affair. Chelsea reconnects with America’s oldest seaport on Saturday. May 4th, to perform at Gloucester’s newest entertainment venue, The Cut.

After spending her childhood in Alaska (skiing, kayaking, hiking–and oh yes, writing and playing music), Chelsea set out on new adventures, including studying at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where she honed her remarkable musical talents. But Chelsea wasn’t into the city “scene” and took to the road, a road that eventually led her to Gloucester. She quickly became an integral part of her extended family of musicians, friends, and fans.

“What attracted me to Gloucester? Art, music, the ocean, the woods, and people who love to work and play outside during the day, and play music at night.” Chelsea felt the love, connections, and culture of Gloucester so deeply she decided to stay awhile–and spent about ten years soaking it up. And this Saturday, she’s back in town.

“This show feels a lot like old home week. The Cut is an awesome by-musicians-for-musicians type venue in a place I called home for a decade. Warren Babson engineered and produced my last record at Bang-a-Song Studios (now located under The Cut), and he’ll be running sound. Everyone in the band–or is working the show–is a friend and someone I’ve collaborated with before. They are all great humans and I’m thrilled they wanted to be part of this.”

Chelsea’s date at The Cut will showcase songs from her repertoire, spanning 25 years and 11 albums. Here’s more info about the band.

Chelsea Berry, vocals, guitar, piano

Dennis Monagle, drums

Kristin Miller, cello and vocals

Brendan Burns, lead guitar

Adam Saylor, bass

Special guests: Kiva Trumbour and Emma Marino (she really is family–Chelsea’s niece)

The show opens with Gloucester favorites Chris and Joe (Chris Langathianos, vocals and guitar, and Joe Wilkins, vocals and guitar)

Chelsea now make her home in a woodsy part of Maine, but ever the troubadour, she is often, as Willie Nelson sings, “On the Road Again.”

“I’m lucky that touring allows me to travel as much as I do and experience different kinds of places and people, but some places will always be more special to me than others.”

See you Saturday night at The Cut!

The Gloucester Public Schools Family and Community Speaker Series will conclude with two powerful presentations by a couple focused on alcohol awareness and the dangers of substance abuse.

Kathi & Chris Sullivan will present “Taylor’s Message” and “Not in the Playbook” on Wednesday, May 1, 2024 from 5:30-6:45 p.m. at the Gloucester High School Auditorium.

“Taylor’s Message” is an alcohol awareness program, while “Not in the Playbook” focuses on substance use awareness. The content is targeted for ages 14 and up.

The Family and Community Speaker Series co-sponsored by the Gloucester Public Schools and Gloucester Health Department is designed to help families with some of the most common family struggles and dynamics. There is no charge for admission for the Sullivans’ presentation, and please join the Gloucester Public Schools for a community resource fair starting at GHS at 5 p.m. on May 1 (free pizza will be provided by Firing Up Pizza & Grill while it lasts). 

Go to https://sullivansmessage.com/ for more information about the speakers.

Details about “Taylor’s Message” from the website:

Kathi Meyer began to speak about substance use, alcohol awareness, mental health, wellness, and the importance of making good choices in 2009 after her 17-year-old daughter Taylor passed away from underage drinking after attending a series of underage drinking parties.

Taylor was found drowned in 2 feet of water because of the alcohol in her system, after getting lost from an outside party in the woods at an abandoned airport. Kathi somehow started Taylor’s Message only two months later. Her hope was to let her daughter’s passing have purpose.

Taylor’s life ended early in her senior year because of many poor choices one fateful weekend. It was Homecoming night, and Taylor and her friends chose to go to a series of underage parties. They ended the night at an abandoned airport, deep in the woods. Taylor found herself lost and all alone in the thick, dark woods and swamp. She never came home again. She was found three days later, face down in a swampy marsh on the river. She drowned in two feet of water because of the alcohol in her system. Poor choices from Taylor, from her friends, from the community and from her Mom, is why such a beautiful life with so much potential had ended.

She never thought that she would become an advocate for the prevention of underage drinking and social host liability. Wanting to make something good come from the experience of losing Taylor, combined with staggering youth underage drinking statistics are what drives Kathi to share Taylor’s Message. 

Details about “Not in the Playbook” from the website:

Chris Sullivan grew up in North Attleboro, MA, and he was always athletic. His talents and hard work ethic paid off when he was offered a full football scholarship to Boston College and, after graduating early, was drafted by the New England Patriots in 1996.

With the Patriots, Chris played in two Super Bowls (and has a ring to prove it!). He also played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his community was so proud of all that Chris had accomplished.

He was battling anxiety and an addiction to drugs and alcohol that took over his life. Opioids and alcohol numbed his depression and anxiety, and he eventually gave up his career in football because the addiction was more powerful than his passion for the sport. His substance abuse  continued to grow, eventually evolving into a $,1000/day heroin habit. Chris chased his first “high” as hard as he chased professional football, and the disease of addiction proved to be more powerful than one of the strongest guys on the team.

Chris finally asked for help and has been sober since December 15, 2008. He now realizes it is the strong people, not the weak, who reach out and ask for help when they need it. Today, Chris has chosen to share his struggles with others and leaves his audiences with many life skills that will help them make good choices surrounding alcohol, drugs, anxiety, depression and mental health. Humble, honest and authentic, Chris’s message resonates with everyone, from athletes to parents to students to anyone struggling with mental wellness.
