Tue, Nov 17, 7:30 PM: <a href="https://theumbrellaarts.org/performing-arts/films-umbrella" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Rebuilding</a> (2025) | 1 hour 35 minutes | Rated PG | Directed by Max Walker-Silverman&nbsp;

ABOUT THE FILM: Rebuilding tells the story of a cowboy named Dusty who loses his family ranch to a wildfire and ends up in a small FEMA-run camp in the American West. The last in a long line of ranchers, Dusty is stuck between a rock and a hard place--the history of his land and the changes to it. He reconnects with his young daughter and his ex wife, and creates community with the new neighborhood around him, a world of people who also lost their homes. Inspired by the director's own life, Rebuilding is a film about hope, resilience, and finding community where you might not expect it.

Film tickets are $12.50 (also available at the door). Add on an optional meal ($30) from our local restaurant partner Saltbox Kitchen. Meal orders close at 12:00 PM on Monday, November 16, or if they sell out before then. Menu coming soon.&nbsp;

Umbrella Arts Concert Series, in partnership with Salt Lick Incubator, presents <a href="https://theumbrellaarts.org/salt-lick-sessions" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Salt Lick Sessions</a>. Thursday, November 19 at 7:30 PM in Concord, MA, featuring FORAGER and DAP The Contract.

Discover the next big thing! Umbrella Arts’ expanded Concert Series showcases some of your future-favorite musical acts that have emerged through the <a href="https://www.saltlickincubator.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Salt Lick Incubator</a> program. Each concert spotlights the incredible talents of tomorrow's groundbreaking artists, creates support, and lets you say you knew them back when!&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sIJ1IRE8SE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FORAGER</a> is a Brooklyn, NY-based trio whose music augments contemporary indie rock with intricate guitar work, melismatic vocals, and curious, kaleidoscopic grooves. Formed in 2021 after a fortuitous basement jam session, the band fuses its members’ eclectic music backgrounds into something both sharply peculiar and deeply accessible. FORAGER has built their following on the strength of their live show, selling out venues across the U.S. and opening for artists like Raveena, Salami Rose Joe Louis, and Red Baraat. NPR's Bobby Carter called their music "buttery" and "complex,” remarking, "where have you been all my life?!?"

<a href="https://www.dapthecontract.com/music" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">DAP The Contract</a> is a producer/rapper/singer and classically trained pianist, born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, who started playing the piano at age 4. He attended the Berklee College of Music for two semesters, focusing on jazz piano, music production, and engineering. He released his mixtape GoodBye For Never in October 2014, which The Source magazine labeled “the best mixtape of 2014”. In September 2015, while studying for the LSAT, he was invited to the renowned Abbey Road Studios in London for recording sessions with Grammy Award-winning "Uptown Funk" producer Mark Ronson after being selected for a competition produced by Converse. DAP released his new single<a href="https://theumbrellaarts.prospect2.com/lt.php?x=4DZy~GDKJ3aZ6sJ5zd5LVRKd3a3ViNAfvxYxYnQ5UqKc68KqzUy7wODiCqtkygAhxTYw08QGWqUK5w4_MN34iWFs1XUlmN~vjMpAX6HEJXSc5m" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> Fuji Shuffle (To The Left)</a> on October 23, 2026.

Founded in 2022 by Roger Brown, the nonprofit<a href="https://www.saltlickincubator.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> Salt Lick Incubator</a> is reshaping the landscape for artists by providing support, grants, essential career guidance, and exposure to new audiences through such vehicles as WERS Radio’s<a href="https://wers.org/salt-lick-sessions/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> Salt Lick Sessions</a> and the<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Et5czMwRoISrmKfzMt4nw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> Salt Lick YouTube</a> channel.
