SUMMARY:Alice Howe & Freebo
DESCRIPTION:Alice Howe & Freebo have undeniable chemistry. Rock bass legend Freebo weaves his fretless stylings into Alice’s soulful\, impeccably-tuned vocals for a harmony-driven performance showcasing two uniquely compelling songwriters. \nBest known for his ten years playing bass with Bonnie Raitt\, Freebo has toured and recorded with some of the greatest artists of his generation\, including John Mayall\, Ringo Starr\, Crosby Stills & Nash\, Maria Muldaur\, Joe Walsh\, and Dr. John. For the past twenty-five years\, he’s been writing\, recording\, and performing his own original music. To hear Alice Howe sing is to be enraptured by the natural\, unaffected beauty of her voice. There’s no artifice\, no histrionics — just honest\, authentic\, emotionally resonant singing in the tradition of the roots music that shaped her. She recently had the honor of being named Best Female Artist at the International Acoustic Music Awards.

Falu Guzmán – drums \n“The music of Domas Žeromskas is fresh\, creative\, full of spirit & wonderful musical ideas and his playing shines through all.” – Bob James \n“Domas Žeromskas’ playing showcases beauty\, inventiveness\, maturity\, and excitement. All of this\, along with his considerable writing chops\, make him a player to watch out for.” – Gregory Tardy \n“When I met Domas in 2019 while conducting a gospel master class in Riga\, I could tell then he had an incredible ear\, but I don’t think any one of us really knew the massive gift he was on the piano. Who could have thought a young guy from Lithuania had so much soul.” – Donald Lawrence

SUMMARY:SUNDAY brunch – feat. josiah Reibstein & THE HUBTONES – in the performance space
DESCRIPTION:When’s the last time you sidled up to the bell of a tuba and let its warm\, rich\, funky sound envelope you as it filled the room? Now layer in some spitfire New Orleans trumpet and serpentine clarinet lines\, and you’ve got a sound that helped define American music—and still gets people smiling\, laughing and dancing. \nJosiah Reibstein & The Hubtones tap into that iconic sound with some of Boston’s finest traditional jazz musicians\, delivering swinging\, high-energy sets rooted in New Orleans-style jazz. With playful arrangements and a repertoire of classics and clever surprises\, the Hubtones serve up “trad jazz” that’s brassy\, bawdy and fun. \nAt Lou’s\, live music is always included. In the performance space\, we simply require a food and beverage purchase since full brunch service is offered.

SUMMARY:Love & Other Monsters Tea Party with Bestselling Author Emily Franklin
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\n\nCheers over tea and treats to the untold origin story of Frankenstein and the author bringing it to light. \n\n\n\n\nFrom the bestselling author of The Lioness of Boston comes a story of love\, lust\, art\, & betrayal. Love & Other Monsters is historical fiction based on the life of Claire Clairmont\, Mary Shelley’s forgotten stepsister\, who forever changed the course of literature. But then—unlike her stepsister Mary Shelley—she was forgotten\, until now. This is the origin story of Frankenstein that hasn’t been told. \nHear Best Selling Author\, Emily Franklin\, discuss the literary and lustful gathering of writers whose relationships and rivalries helped inspire the iconic novel. She’ll explain how she wove this transfixing historical tale of rich\, complex characters—each with their own insecurities\, quirks\, and brilliance—and the inspirations behind the wisdom about womanhood and art that shapes Claire’s journey. \nAnd what better way to celebrate this Hamnet–meets–Pride & Prejudice tale than with a Regency style high tea?

SUMMARY:The Enigmatic Treasure of a Nubian Queen
DESCRIPTION:Queen Khensa was a Nubian royal and principal wife of King Piankhy\, the Kushite ruler (664–653 BCE) who conquered Egypt and established the Twenty-fifth Dynasty. She was buried in a pyramid tomb whose contents were largely plundered in antiquity. Even so\, her burial still contained a variety of intriguing objects\, from precious-metal vessels and fine jewelry to tools\, figurines\, and natural history specimens. The function of many of these items remains a mystery. In this talk\, Denise Doxey will present what survives of Khensa’s mortuary offerings and discuss new ideas about how these treasures may have functioned in royal Nubian funerary ritual and belief. \nAdvance registration recommended.
