Sawyer Free Library

When the Sargent House Museum opens for the 2027 season, it will have a new name and focus as The Judith Sargent Murray and John Murray Historic House. This program will describe the changes underway and consider why these two figures deserve to be better known: Judith as an early advocate of women's equality and education, and John as the "Father of Organized American Universalism."&nbsp;
Speakers will include Paul Lewis, Sargent House curator and Boston College Professor Emeritus, and Dan McKanan, Emerson Senior Lecturer at Harvard Divinity School. Passages from John Murray's autobiography will be read by Reverend Janet Parsons, minister of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church, and extracts from Judith's letters will be read by Bonnie Hurd Smith, the former president of the Sargent House Museum. Q&amp;A to follow.&nbsp;

Even though Roomful of Blues’ lineup has changed over the years, the band has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eightpiece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. Singer DD Bastos brings her sweet and soulful vocals and adds another bright new dimension to the jazzy, jump-blues musical roots. Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&amp;B and soul remains their calling card, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Along with bassist John Turner, trumpeter Chris Pratt, drummer Mike Coffey, keyboardist Jeff Ceasrine, baritone and tenor saxophonist Craig Thomas, and tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille, Roomful keeps on rockin’ year after year!
Roomful of Blues, according to DownBeat magazine, “are in a class by themselves.” With their masterful combination of jumping, horn-heavy, hard-edged blues and R&amp;B, it’s no wonder why the great Count Basie called them “the hottest blues band I’ve ever heard.” Since 1967, the group’s deeply rooted blend of swing, rock ‘n’ roll, jump, blues and soul has earned it five Grammy Award nominations and a slew of other accolades, including seven Blues Music Awards.With a non-stop performance schedule for over 55 years, Roomful of Blues has earned critical, popular and radio success and a legion of fans around the globe. including the prestigious DownBeat International Critics Poll for “Best Blues Band”.

If you love classic Van Halen, Everybody Wants Some is a must-see. Crank it up, feel the energy, and get ready to party like it's 1984!
