Crowning Glory

One Person Show: Christi Harris

Her impressively large paintings were developed as a result of collecting old cookbooks. Jell-O, or gelatin, was once marketed as an all-in-one food. It could be used as a main dish, a side salad or dessert by using ingredients that are morally reprehensible. Don’t miss this wonderful one person show and concert to follow!

RED MOLLY

Saturday, September 4 2010: Join us Labor Day weekend for a memorable performance by RED MOLLY with show opener Slim Chance and the Can't Hardly Play Boys. Show time: 7pm, tickets $25/$20.

Red Molly consistently brings concert-goers to their feet with stunning three-part harmonies, crisp musicianship and a warm, engaging stage presence. They have earned a devoted and ever-widening fan base, and have begun to tour nationally. Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Carolann Solebello have a lot of fun on stage, and it's contagious.

The Boston Globe says: "Everything Red Molly sings is delivered with tick-tight arrangements, crystalline vocals, and caramel harmonies. But what is most striking is the ardor they bring to everything they do, whether snuggling into the sweet parochialism of an old spiritual, or the gritty pathos of a Gillian Welch tune. They come on less like stars strutting for their minions than pals sharing their favorite songs. In the friendly world of the coffeehouse, that remains a star-making quality."
