In 1942, Boston's most famous "hotspot" was the Cocoanut Grove, in the Bay Village. Everyone who was anyone went to the Cocoanut Grove; and at least 900 people were jammed into the place on the evening of Saturday, November 28--when the worst nightclub fire in U.S. history struck the Grove with terrible suddenness and ferocity. How could this have happened? And how did Bostonians turn a disaster into positive reforms that still affect us today?

"EMF are a band reborn. The ludicrous strength of their reunion albums, combined with the obvious love they have for each other, makes their shows something to treasure, and the connection between band and audience is genuine. As life-affirming live as they are on record, make sure you catch EMF in person."
– Sonic Abuse, 2024
Formed in 1989 in the quiet town of Cinderford in England’s Forest of Dean, EMF exploded onto the global stage with their infectious blend of dance, rock, and pop. Within a year, they were everywhere, thanks to the smash hit “Unbelievable," a song that would go on to define a generation and top charts worldwide.
Their debut album Schubert Dip (1991) captured their raw energy and genre-defying sound. With follow-ups Stigma (1992) and Cha Cha Cha (1995), EMF took fans on an ever-evolving journey, shifting from dance floor anthems to darker, more introspective sonic territory. But by 1995 the toll of the spotlight and constant touring was beginning to tell and the band went their separate ways. Before bowing out gracefully, they released their hit version of The Monkees “I’m a Believer,” accompanied by comedians Vic and Bob.
During their hiatus, the members found new creative paths: frontman James Atkin launched a solo career while teaching music in Yorkshire; guitarist Ian Dench became a sought-after songwriter and music executive, collaborating with everyone from Beyoncé to The Prodigy; keyboardist Derry Brownson founded Little Killers (LK); and bassist Zac Foley played with the band Carrie.

City Winery Boston presents: Sonja Morgan live on Monday, May 11th at 7:30pm.
Sonja Morgan is a television personality, fashion designer, and entrepreneur best known for appearing on The Real Housewives of New York City. Prior to joining the cast in 2010, Sonja had long been considered one of the most prominent "movers and shakers," beginning in the '80s as she balanced her studies at FIT with modeling around the globe. Sonja soon became a luxury brand consultant, and always had her finger on the pulse of the very best restaurants, hotels, and fashion. Restaurateur Sirio Maccioni of Le Cirque once said that "very few people have her talent in our business," and Esquire Magazine's John H. Mariani labeled her as "the straw that stirs the drink."
Having long been celebrated for her fashion taste in the New York society pages, and given her history working in the fashion world, Sonja debuted her fashion collection at New York Fashion Week in 2015. Sonja Morgan New York offers a wide variety of luxury fashions at an appealing price point. In 2017 she introduced her heritage brand shoe line, Sonja Morgan by French Sole, and the following year her empire expanded once again with the launch of Sonja by Sonja Morgan, a curated selection of affordable fashions and accessories all under $150.
It was Sonja's keen eye for business opportunities that led her to The Real Housewives of New York City. Though she initially declined to join the hit reality series when it launched, she signed on in season 3, and ever since has been lauded by viewers for her boisterous personality and one-of-a-kind sense of humor. She's been a member of the NBCUniversal family for over a decade, and is regularly asked to participate in advertising up-fronts, scripted comedies, commercials, and major motion pictures.
Her performing work has included her hit "caburlesque" show (a term coined by Sonja herself), a successful run in the Off-Broadway comedy Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man, an appearance in Hulu's "Difficult People," and a performance at Improv Asylum. Behind the camera, Sonja has served as a producer on movies such as The Marsh, starring Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker, and the 2018 film The Man in the Attic.
Sonja has long been an advocate for the arts, children, animals, and the LGBTQ community and since 1991 has worked with a wide variety of charities including New Yorkers for Children, The Princess Grace Foundation, ASPCA, and GLAAD. Sonja is often celebrated for her philanthropic contributions, going back to 1995 when she was honored at the St. Regis alongside Mira Sorvino and Vanessa Noel for her charity work as a young single woman.
It's Sonja's rich personal life that helps make her such a great fit for the hit reality franchise. As a young professional, Sonja broke off her six-year engagement with Italian Count PierFrancesco, who she lived with between Rome and Manhattan. For years the tabloids covered her escapades with famous and influential men, including Prince Albert of Monaco, comedian Richard Lewis, rock legend Eric Clapton, and tennis player John McEnroe. But it was with banker John Adams Morgan, descendant of financier J.P. Morgan and Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, that Sonja met her match. Their "merger" resulted in a successful, loving decade-long marriage and a beautiful daughter.

Vanessa Carlton continues to expand creatively as an artist as seen in her upcoming seventh studio album Veils produced by Dave Fridmann (MGMT, Flaming Lips) to be released early 2026. Fridmann also produced her last album Love is An Art (2020).
“The album will of course mean different things to different people and that is what excites me. I had to embrace my own contradictions in order to see what the world of the album was going to feel and sound like,” says Carlton. “I love the metaphor of wearing a veil. There are so many layers to all of us. When I look back on the four year process, I see that I was gradually becoming fascinated with stoicism.”
Through her songs, Vanessa invites listeners to explore the Veils in their own lives. Which Veil are you lifting? Which Veil are you putting on?
“Our veils tell a story, when we choose to take one off or when we put one on…it is such a personal act,” says Carlton.
Vanessa recently unveiled the first track “Animal” off the upcoming album that lays the foundation in her pursuit for stoicism. Vanessa shared that the song is about, “The idea of knowing we cannot control external forces; she is being hunted and she accepts the reality of what is happening. The acceptance allows her to truly see the animal. Does she even identify with this creature? Every human has an animal within them. Are you hunting? Are you being hunted? Who is the animal?”
Carlton has constantly challenged both herself and the expectations that surround her throughout her lengthy, accomplished career: she was discovered as a singer-songwriter/pianist when a cassette tape demo was given to legendary music impresario Ahmet Ertegun. With her debut single "A Thousand Miles," Carlton soared to the top of the Billboard charts and garnered multiple Grammy nominations, and continues to captivate audiences across generations as well as genres. VICE’s documentary on “A Thousand Miles” earned the media outlet a 2022 News &amp; Documentary Emmy nomination – Watch docuseries here.
Though “A Thousand Miles” is only a small fraction of her body of work and artistic identity, as she continues to evolve as a performer and songwriter. In the summer of 2019, she made her Broadway debut as Carole King in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Carlton most recently scored her first film with husband John McCauley of Deer Tick for Wish You Were Here directed by Julia Stiles.

Custom Skincare, Backed by Real Expertise — Boston

Kerry Spindler Bespoke Aesthetics Spa

Kerry Spindler Bespoke Aesthetics Spa is a private, results-driven skincare studio serving Winthrop and the Greater Boston area. Founded by nationally recognized beauty expert Kerry Spindler, the practice blends advanced clinical knowledge with a holistic, whole-person approach to skin health. Every treatment is fully customized. No cookie-cutter facials. No trend chasing. Just intelligent, personalized care based on what your skin actually needs. Kerry is an oncology-trained paramedical esthetician and melanoma survivor whose background in advanced skin science allows her to work confidently with all skin types, tones, and concerns — from acne, breakouts, and congestion to pigmentation, aging, texture changes, and overall skin resilience. Services include advanced corrective facials, microneedling with RF, nano needling, chemical peels, microcurrent lifting, LED light therapy, acne-focused treatments, pigmentation correction, and barrier-repair support. The spa also offers brow and lash services, facial waxing for delicate areas, and holistic support services such as Reiki and traditional herbal yoni steaming. Clients travel from Boston, Cambridge, the North Shore, and surrounding neighborhoods for Kerry’s education-first approach, precision treatments, and long-term skin strategy. This is a quiet, boutique setting designed for people who want real expertise and thoughtful care — not rushed appointments or one-size-fits-all spa menus. Appointments are by reservation only.
