Winterpills (album release) - 11/8

Formed in the fog of the timeline around the fall of the Twin Towers, the death of Elliott Smith, the peak influence of Pitchfork and the dawn of the iPod, the members of Winterpills met and began making music in the old-fashioned winter of 2003 in the shambolic Northampton, MA music scene.

Yearnings - 11/13

Yearnings is a concert of sharing, bringing together gifted local musicians from Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Native American, and Sufi backgrounds. Through song, chant, and story, they will share the sacred sounds and wisdom of their traditions. Though languages, rhythms, and faiths may differ, this music is a universal bridge that transcends boundaries.

Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas - 11/18

Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas... cutting-edge fiddle and cello explorations of Scottish and global music" … you would think they'd been playing together for centuries. While his fiddle dances, her cello throbs darkly or plucks puckishly. Then [Haas] opens her cello's throat, joining Fraser in soaring sustains, windswept refrains, and sudden, jazzy explosions.
