SUMMARY:Photography Group
DESCRIPTION:The Fall River Public Library invites all photography enthusiasts to join our new Photography Group. \n\n\n\nOn the last Wednesday of each month\, participants will share their work\, provide feedback\, and join in open discussion about the wonderful art of photography!

SUMMARY:Rodney Crowell
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 29\, 2026\n$71 Advance | $73 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm\n\nOn his vibrant 20th studio album\, Airline Highway\, Rodney Crowell explores love\, memory\, and musical kinship with a new generation of roots artists. Produced with Tyler Bryant and recorded live at Dockside Studio in Louisiana\, the album captures a spontaneous spirit—blending Crowell’s storytelling prowess with contributions from Lukas Nelson\, Ashley McBryde\, Charlie Starr\, and Larkin Poe. Inspired by the swamp-pop sounds of his youth and recorded in the heart of Cajun country\, Airline Highway reflects on the past while celebrating the present. From the rollicking homage “The Twenty-One Song Salute” to the haunting closer “Somewhere Down the Road\,” Crowell delivers a wise\, joyful meditation on legacy and letting go.

SUMMARY:Reverend Horton Heat
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 10\, 2024\n$50 Advance | $52 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm\nSpecial Guests: Messer Chups \nLoaded guns\, space heaters\, and big skies. Welcome to the lethal littered landscape of Jim Heath’s imagination. True to his high evan- gelical calling\, Jim is a Revelator\, both revealing & reinterpreting the country-blues-rock roots of American music. He’s a time-travelling space-cowboy on a endless inter- stellar musical tour\, and we are all the richer & “psychobillier” for getting to tag along. \nSeeing REVEREND HORTON HEAT live is a transformative ex- perience. Flames come off the gui- tars. Heat singes your skin. There’s nothing like the primal tribal rock & roll transfiguration of a Rever- end Horton Heat show. Jim be- comes a slicked-back 1950′s rock & roll shaman channeling Screamin’ Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly\, while Jimbo incinerates the Stand- Up Bass. And then there are the “Heatettes”. Those foxy rockabilly chicks dressed in poodle-skirts and cowboy boots slamming the night away. It’s like being magically transported into a Teen Exploita- tion picture from the 1950′s that’s currently taking place in the future.\n\nListening to the REVEREND HORTON HEAT is tantamount to injecting pure musical nitrous into the hot-rod engine of your heart. The Reverend’s commandants are simple. \nROCK HARD\, DRIVE FAST\, AND LIVE TRUE. \nAnd no band on this\, or any other\, planet rocks harder\, drives faster\, or lives truer than the Reverend Horton Heat. These “itinerant preachers” actually practice what they preach. They live their lives by the Gospel of Rock & Roll. \nFrom the High-Octane Spaghetti-Western Wall of Sound in “Big Sky” — to the dark driving frenetic paranoia of “400 Bucks” – to the brain-melting Western Psychedelic Garage purity of “Psychobilly Freakout” — The Rev’s music is the perfect soundtrack to the Drive-In Movie of your life. \nJim Heath & Jimbo Wallace have chewed up more road than the Google Maps drivers. For twenty- five Psychobilly years\, they have blazed an indelible\, unforgettable\, and meteoric trail across the globe with their unique blend of musical virtuosity\, legendary showman- ship\, and mythic imagery. \nWith special guests Messer Chups.

SUMMARY:Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 18\, 2026\n$31 Advance | $33 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nSince forming in 1988 in Southern California\, Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys have become one of the world’s most beloved Americana/Roots acts\, drawing from the deep musical waters that flow just beneath the surface of Rock & Roll’s fertile soil. A childhood passion for Country\, Doo-Wop\, and Rhythm & Blues 45s led Sandy (born Robert Williams) to pursue a singing career as a teenager\, beginning a life in music that continues decades later. And as his personal record collection continues to grow (75\,000 and counting)\, so does the depth of the musical influences that stream through his songwriting and singing style. A critically acclaimed tribute to Tex-Mex hero Freddy Fender\, released at the beginning of the 2020 lockdown\, points the way forward for Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys as they continue on a path of musical growth. After nearly 35 years on the road\, and more than two dozen releases to their credit\, they remain key figures on the ever-changing Americana circuit\, both on record and in live appearances

SUMMARY:Parlor Greens live at the Narrows
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 19\, 2026\n$33 Advance | $36 Day of Show\n[all-in pricing\, no additional fees]\nDoors 7pm | Show 8pm \nPerhaps one of the most exciting and anticipated projects in the world of heavy instrumental music is Parlor Greens\, a fresh organ trio on Colemine Records! You could say that Parlor Greens are greater than the sum of their parts…however\, the individual parts are simply stellar on their own. Tim Carman (GA-20) on drums\, Jimmy James (True Loves\, formerly Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio) on guitar\, and Adam Scone (Scone Cash Players\, The Sugarman 3) on organ.\n\nScone is perhaps the most tasteful living organist on planet Earth (and beyond) and to watch him play is to truly watch a master at work. He bends the organ to his will like a true mastercraftsman. He’s a veteran of the soul revival scene\, having played on many Daptone recording sessions since their inception\, but also has learned from some of the legends of soul jazz: Melvin Sparks and The Turbanator himself Dr. Lonnie Smith. Jimmy James needs no introduction to many as he’s been seen all over the world performing with instrumental groups The True Loves and the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. Perhaps the most dangerous right hand in all of soul music\, his signature funky approach can be identified by even the most novice of music fans\, a feat most musicians could only dream of. Tim Carman. The backbone. The pocket. Having cut his teeth touring the world with blues group GA-20\, Carman’s expertise in the world of blues shuffles might make him an unlikely candidate to lay the foundation for the funky Parlor Greens\, but this debut LP shows otherwise. Steady\, heavy pockets and as funky as they come. \nParlor Greens started off as an idea before it even had a name. Carman had been chatting with Colemine label boss Terry Cole about their shared love for organ combo records of yesterday on labels like Blue Note and Prestige. Cole said he’d love to have an organ trio be the first project at the label’s new studio\, Portage Lounge\, located in Loveland\, Ohio. So when Carman tapped James and Scone for the session\, the stage was set. Carman and Cole had started work a day early to dial in the drum sound\, so when the rest of this murderer’s row arrived they hit the ground running. It was instant chemistry. Within the first ten minutes of everyone plugging in\, a song was written and recorded\, “West Memphis”. And over the next three days\, these three maestros conducted a beautiful and soulful symphony straight to tape. As natural and fun as three old friends getting together after a long absence\, only this was the first time they had written and performed together. True magic. \nSo this is the result of that session. Eleven cuts. Ten originals. Two sides. All killer\, no filler. Straight to the old reliable Tascam 388 tape machine\, mixed up nice and dirty for your enjoyment. Parlor Greens are proud to present their debut long player\, In Green / We Dream.
