“Exit Wounds”: A Conversation with Ieva Jusionyte
2026-03-12 18:00 - 19:30 | First Unitarian Church New Bedford, 71 8th St., New Bedford, MA, 02740
As part of New Bedford’s monthly AHA! Night, the First Unitarian Church is honored to welcome author Ieva Jusionyte for a conversation about her recent book, Exit Wounds: How America’s Guns Fuel Violence Across the Border, a Massachusetts Book Awards Nonfiction Honors title. The evening will include a talk about her research and findings, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
Exit Wounds illuminates a major under-reported cause of the violence and corruption plaguing Mexico: the steady flow of U.S. weapons and ammunition across the border. Jusionyte follows the bullets, the stories, and the money, weaving chilling statistics into a gripping narrative. Through interviews with U.S. federal agents, Mexican arms smugglers, and even an ex-cartel assassin, she reveals the staggering human toll that a lucrative American industry inflicts on communities in Mexico. Braiding these stories together with clarity and journalistic verve, Jusionyte exposes a devastating and deeply entrenched cycle.
This program is sponsored by the Mass Book Awards Speakers Bureau and is presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts Center for the Book.
IEVA JUSIONYTE is an award-winning author, legal anthropologist, and a recipient of MacArthur “Genius” Award. She is the Watson Family University Professor of International Security and Anthropology and Director of the Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Studies at Brown University. Born and raised in Lithuania, Jusionyte earned her B.A. degree in political science from Vilnius University and her M.A. and Ph.D. in anthropology from Brandeis University. Jusionyte studies borders, law, and violence, and is the author of three books; her newest book, Exit Wounds: How America’s Guns Fuel Violence Across the Border, won the Juan E. Méndez Book Award for Human Rights in Latin America, PROSE Award for Excellence in Social Sciences and R.R Hawkins Award from the Association of American Publishers, and Nonfiction Honors in the Massachusetts Book Awards. Apart from her scholarly pursuits, Jusionyte is a trained EMT, paramedic, and wildland firefighter, and she spent five years volunteering in fire and rescue departments in Massachusetts, Florida, and Arizona. She lives in Boston.

Chunky Knit Blanket Party
2026-03-12 18:00 | Troy City Brewing, 16 Anawan Street, Fall River, 02721, United States
Chunky knit blankets are all the rage lately and you’ll be surprised how easy they are to make! The hand knitting technique is a life long skill that is therapeutic, meditative and fun.

NEW: You may now choose your yarn amount! Are you coming just to learn the technique and only want one skein to practice on? We’ve got you! For blanket making, please view the photo below to see a rough estimate of what a blanket using 4 skeins (standard) looks like, 5 skeins, 6 skeins…etc. DISCLAIMER: Final blanket dimensions vary based on each individual’s knitting gauge (ie., if you knit tight, your blanket will be smaller and more compact than someone who knits looser).

Table space diminishes as blankets get larger. You are welcome to bring a small pillow or yoga mat to sit on, should you choose to move to the floor for more space as your blanket gets taller.

Bags will not be provided. If you don’t wish carry your project, we encourage you to bring a large tote to carry your blanket and any working yarn home in.

We will be in touch a few days prior to the event to share our color options. There will be at least 3 colors to choose from, including neutrals!

CANCELLATION POLICY: Due to inventory and limited spacing, we are unable to issue full refunds. If a conflict arises and you would like to attend one of our other events instead, you must notify us prior to 2 weeks of the event. Thank you for understanding!

Tarbox Ramblers
2026-03-07 20:00 - 22:00 | Narrows Center for the Arts, 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MA
Saturday, March 7, 2026
$30 Advance | $32 Day of Show
[all-in pricing, no additional fees]
Doors 7pm | Show 8pm
Taking listeners to a place where rock, backwater blues and Appalachian music come together in unexpected combinations, The Tarbox Ramblers have drawn praise from The New Yorker and Rolling Stone to All Things Considered. The Washington Post calls them “a force of nature.” Robert Plant saw the band play and recruited them, on the spot, to open a string of concert dates for him.
The Ramblers’ repertoire reaches way back, to the earliest recordings of what people now call Americana. Their approach is reverent, but only in the sense that they love the old songs. Beyond that, they play them as a roadhouse band of the 1950s might have, as songs band members all heard growing up, but were reinventing with drums and electricity. They’ve got the spirit of Memphis in their veins, and it makes for thrilling listening.
The Tarbox Ramblers’ sound is fueled by Michael Tarbox’s tough-as-Texas-barbwire guitar, Dan Keller’s virtuoso violin and the hard-hitting rhythm section of rockabilly string bassist Johnny Sciascia (pronounced “sha-sha”) and Jon Cohan on New Orleans parade drums. Tarbox’s unmistakable voice is right up front, with Keller and Sciascia contributing vocal harmonies.
The Tarbox Ramblers have released well received albums on the Rounder label and played countless shows throughout the US and Canada. Venues of note include Lincoln Center, Philadelphia Folk Festival, The Green River Festival in Massachusetts and California’s Strawberry Music Festival. To the north, the group has appeared at The Toronto Blues Festival, Alberta’s Salmon Arms Festival and, in British Columbia, The Burnaby Blues Festival.
The Ramblers’ original lineup recently played two reunion dates as a one-off chance to reconnect with each other, their fans and the music that brought them together. The shows were wildly successful, selling out a month in advance and surpassing anyone’s expectations. The band sounded as if it hadn’t played for days rather than years, and the audience was with them every step of the way. It all felt very familiar, and the guys in the band immediately agreed they should do it again soon. So here we are. All that’s old is made new again. If you like roots music that’s real and uncompromising, check The Tarbox Ramblers out. They just might be the band for you.
