singer-songwriter Thea Hopkins, poet Betsy Binstock & singer-songwriter Junko Ogawa
HCAM Studios, 77 Main Street, Hopkinton ,
Come and see the features, the open mic and the filming of the program that transforms into tv show!
On Saturday, May 21st HCAM Studios will offer one of two last programs of the season honoring poetry, songs and story of Thea Hopkins, Junko Ogawa and Betsy Binstock. Thea Hopkins has been described by Folk music icons Peter, Paul and Mary as "one of the most literate, poetic and emotionally moving of the new singer-songwriters to arrive on the scene in the last few years." Junko Ogawa born and raised in Japan, has recently been busy coordinating efforts for Japan Relief Fundraising and when otherwise on the stage, offers songs that range from poignant, to startlingly sensual to respectfully audacious and downright funny. Betsy Binstock, whether writing about Helen of Troy, a child dealing with blindness memories of grandparents or musings about the frogs in her pond... her words have a way of stirring the soul, gladdening the heart and leaving chills on the spine.
An openmic for poetry, spokenword story and song will follow.
(Newcomers who did not perform at open mic last month will get signed on first until May 14th).
Free admission, pass the hat for the features. Fresh baked scones, hot coffee and a very warm and art-vibrant community.
To hold a seat or to sign up for open mic send reply to this email or go to www.hcam.tv/series/wakeup/index.shtml
that same Evening!!!!!
Patti DeRosa’s “Packing My Bags: Patti D Live"
CD RELEASE PARTY on SATURDAY MAY 21st!!
This is going to be an amazing evening of music, fun, and food at the very cool G Studios in Dorchester. First there will be sets by Ana Eder-Mulhane, Perry Desmond-Davies, and Elijah Starr. Then I will do my set (joined by Phil Punch and hopefully some other special guests). Then the rest of the evening will feature some phenomenal Latin music performed by Manuel Santos, Sarcasmo, and friends. This will be a special night, not just for me, but for Manuel as well, as this is his return to the stage after a difficult illness. So bring your dancing shoes!!!
Please let me know if you plan to attend! You can RSVP by replying to this newsletter, or email me directly at: patti@pattiderosa.com
That's it for now folks!!!! Hoping to see you all at ROM on Monday for the Charlie Cover Feature!!!
Always, Neal :)))
