ABOUT THE BAND
Alligator Wine is made up of an all-star cast of characters from Lowell, MA music scene. The intention of this outfit is to re-interpret the music of the Grateful Dead and apply our own signature to the music that has so inspired us all over the years. While each member of the project has enjoyed success in various musical genres all over the eastern half of the country, we’ve all come home to the friends and music that we love.
Saturday 9pm ~Dis N Dat Trio
ABOUT THE BAND
Formed in 1999 by four time grammy nominated Black Uhuru drummer ‘Rangotan and 6 time steel pan champion Sista D, Dis-N-Dat has a unique sound, setting us apart from all the rest. Dis-N-Dat incorporates Roots Reggae, Dance Hall and R&B in to a sound all our own known as Neo-Reggae, moving audiences all over the U.S. for almost 20 years. We take the reggae to a new level, at the same time rocking the foundation sound that so many are looking for.
The band has backed many international artists that include Queen Africa, Tony Rebel, Anthony B, Turbulence, Everton Blender, Sister Nancy, Yami Bolo, Lady Saw, Sasha and many more! The band also backed UK Reggae superstar Pato Banton for several tours across the United States.
Dis-N-Dat continues to blaze a trail of vibes worldwide from our shows to our albums. Our shows are an experience to behold that cannot be compared to any other! Our most recent album ‘One Perfect Love’ hit #7 in the Reggae Charts and we look forward to releasing ’Straight Up’ in 2018.

Jan 26 Primal Roots – The Deep Well Sat 8 PM
Details
Welcome to the next Primal roots. Once again we are stepping outside of the boundaries and norms (of what a dance should be) so that we can go deeper into our truths. As human beings we are always finding and redefining ourselves. And Primal Roots will follow this thread too, allowing us to release our expectations and fixed ideas of how things should be. We are talking about our generational timelines, about our past, but also the present. How do we draw from that deep well? The water of Life and Mystery. Some of this we can experience through our words, but much of this is found in our direct experience of the world, aside from words. We can find it in movement and creative expression. We can find it in connection to others. After our welcoming Circle, we will begin the night with our great friend John Sprague who will preview his “Global Heart Medicine Show” (John will return later this year for the full show). After that we will begin the dance with some ceremonial drumming and an ongoing Art Project, followed by some primal music, sounds, and ecstatic dancing.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: CLENNON L. KING ON ‘MLK’S BOSTON YEARS’
A Filmmaker’s Granular Look at Dr. & Mrs. King’s New England Years a lasered look at the little-known years Dr. King and his wife, Coretta Scott spent in Boston and New England. Award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist Clennon L. King, will present a slideshow, focusing on the Kings’ movements in Boston and New England, from the fall of 1951 to the spring of 1954.
“Americans know all about Dr. King relative to places like Atlanta, Birmingham, Montgomery, Washington, D.C. and Memphis, but virtually nothing about his time in Boston,” said Clennon L. King, (no relation) whose father was a lawyer for Dr. King in the Historic Albany Movement. “This slideshow seeks to fill in the blanks.” Clennon L. King will present the compelling PowerPoint® slideshow to audience, before leading a spirited conversation and Q&A with the audience. The program is free and open to the public.
Clennon L. King writes, “In a city as historic as Boston, there are few signs that Martin Luther King, Jr. lived, worked and played here before heading to Montgomery to the world stage,” said the Boston-based filmmaker. “My goal was to reconstruct his time here before it is lost to history forever.”
Clennon L. King’s 45-minute slideshow and discussion program is entitled “MLK’s Boston Years”, and was presented to MLK Boston, which plans to build a $5 million monument to Dr. and Mrs. King on the Boston Common. Boston’s NPR affiliate, WGBH 89.7 FM has twice interviewed King around his research on the Kings’ time in Boston. In April 2018, the filmmaker was featured on the Boston Edition of All Things Considered® with Barbara Howard, and in November 2018, he again was featured on ‘Under the Radar’ with Callie Crossley.
For interested media outlets want to interview Mr. King, please contact him directly at either 207-450-3585 or by email at clennon@augustinemonica.com
STEPHANIE BUCK: ‘SHADOWED LIVES’
Born and educated in England – degree from London University – married an American and moved to Gloucester in 1970 – became interested in local history through research on her house – which is just across the road from the Unitarian Universalist Church. She retired as Archivist/Librarian of the Cape Ann Museum last May after 14 years. The title of her presentation is “Shadowed Lives” – just skimming the surface of slavery on Cape Ann.
LOCATION AND MORE INFORMATION
The Gloucester Meetinghouse (home of the Unitarian Universalist Church) is located on the green at the corner of Church and Middle Street. Event parking is allowed on the green and is available at other parking lots nearby in the Historic District.
