The Last Waltz
March 22 and 23, 7:30PM
The Last Waltz was an iconic night in Rock and Roll history featuring some of the time's best
talent: Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison
and more came together with 'The Band' to create a successful celebration of the group's catalogue,
memorializing their last concert. The night was captured as the first rock-doc by Martin Scorsese
and has lived on for 45+ years as one of the best Rock and Roll films ever made. Join 'The Zajac
Brothers Band' and their special guests for 2 nights as they bring you back to these wonderful
songs, paying homage to The Band.

Rick and Lorraine Haynes: CROSS POLLINATION
March 23 through April 20
Opening reception March 23, 3:00 to 5:00PM Free and open to the public!
As explorers of unknown aesthetic territories, artists Ric Haynes and Lorraine Gentile Haynes work
independently, each creating their own art in adjoining areas within their shared home studio in
Mashpee. They have each found that artistic energy and a non-intentional osmosis occur from
regularly seeing the development of each other’s work. A color combination seen in one of Ric’s
paintings may later show up in one of Lorraine’s textile pieces, or a design pattern from one of
Lorraine’s quilts at some point may appear in one of Ric’s paintings. The two artists have always
shared artistic discourse but being in a shared studio creates an atmosphere of opportunity for
cross-pollination of ideas, colors, shapes and forms.

Cape Cod CAN: Outside the Lines
March 23 through April 20
Opening reception March 23, 3:00 to 5:00PM Free and open to the public!
To color ‘outside the lines’ is a phrase that means to behave in a creative or unconventional way,
to break the rules. The artists of the Cape Cod Collaborative Arts Network have done just that!
Outside the Lines artists have been challenged in a variety of classes over the past year to
explore new techniques, let go of conventional thinking and give themselves the freedom to
experiment with their art and see where it may lead. The result is a collection of work from
artists of all abilities from across Cape Cod and the South Shore that pushes the boundaries of
expression and was created without limitations.

George Gritzbach Band in Concert

The Washington Post called Gritzbach an “exceptional songwriter” and described a recent CD as “as
good and surprising as he is in person, with wonderful original material and knock-out slide guitar
work.” The Boston Globe called Gritzbach a “sizzling hot, no-holds barred electric bluesman” and
“one of the ?nest guitar players in America.” Frets Magazine wrote “exquisitely gritty and gravely
on one cut, mellow and clear on the next…excellent vocal style."
