Goldthwaite Beach Reservation,  Marblehead, MA, 01945

The third and final talk of the 250th anniversary “Glovers at Goldthwait” series, which will be presented at the Goldthwait Beach Reservation on Sunday, September 6, has a new start
time of 1 pm instead of 11 am. The program and parking are free, and light refreshments
provided, but please bring your own chair. At this talk, social, architectural, and cultural historian Judy Anderson will bring out of the
shadows the six wives of the four Glover brothers, and some compelling stories about some of their 28 total children, giving a vivid portrait of Revolutionary-era family life in Marblehead. She will introduce Colonel Glover's eldest son and namesake, a captain in his father's
regiment, who lost his life due to his ship-board service in 1777, the same year his father was promoted to General, along with the other ten children of John and his first wife Hannah, who died in the middle of her husband's seven long years of service through the entire
Revolutionary War. Mystery surrounds the only son of John's oldest brother Jonathan, whose wife Abigail bore
nine children as well. Their five surviving daughters and many of John's sons and daughters married into familiar Marblehead families. Some of their stories are compelling, and others are tragic.
And all four Glover brothers suffered grave family losses, as so many other 'Headers did.
Judy Anderson is recognized as one of the leading authorities on the life and Mansion of
Colonel Jeremiah Lee and Marblehead’s rare early architecture, its virtually unknown
silversmiths (who also served in Colonel Glover's Regiment, alongside the fishermen,
mariners, tradesmen and merchants’ sons), its high-quality 18th-century furniture production and patronage, and its surprisingly high number of 18th-century portraits by leading New
England and American artists.
Please contact 781-724-5734 for further information or questions. Sunday, September 6 at Goldthwait
Beach Reservation –– “The 6 wives and 28
Children of Marblehead’s Four Glover
brothers”
(Note the new time !)Note the new time !)
The identity of the person shown in this miniature owned by the Marblehead Museum will also be
discussed –– and it probably is not who it is
usually claimed to be.

"A Band Of Brothers" isn't just an Allman Brothers tribute band; they're a powerhouse, uniting the top-tier talent of the East Coast. The brainchild of ace Boston guitarists Ryan Taylor and Johnny Trama, this collective, more than a mere homage, harness the Allman Brothers tradition as a vehicle to bring a unique and exciting experience every night. The ensemble features artists from an array of bands including - North Mississippi Allstars ,Dickey Betts and Great Southern, Pink Talking Fish, Neighbor, Dub Apocalypse, Peter Wolf's Midnight Travelers, Dickey Betts Great Southern, Slightly Stoopid, Sonya Rae Taylor, Band of Killers and more. Matt Zeiner&nbsp;began his professional music career touring with Matt "Guitar" Murphy, who exposed him to a fusion of blues and jazz. His career took a significant turn in 2000 when Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band recruited him as a keyboardist and vocalist, leading to a fruitful collaboration and tour. Ryan Taylor&nbsp;on slide guitar spearheads the band with his exceptional talents. His journey, steeped in the rich musical traditions of Austin and Nashville, saw Ryan honing his craft the old-fashioned way. Johnny Trama&nbsp;on guitar conjures up riffs and rhythms that speak volumes. His journey through the realms of rock, soul, and blues, playing with icons like Bettye LaVette and Jesse Dee, has armed him with a mystical musical prowess. Jesse Williams&nbsp;on bass is an alchemist of groove, spinning each note into a rhythmic tapestry. His Grammy-nominated escapades with the likes of Duke Robillard and Joe Louis Walker have endowed him with a bass prowess that's both fluid and formidable. Tom Arey&nbsp;behind the drums is nothing short of a powerhouse, orchestrating beats and fills with the finesse of a seasoned composer. His tenure with Peter Wolf’s Midnight Travelers has honed a style that's explosive yet eloquent, much like the Allmans' own percussive legends. Brendan Tommaney&nbsp;on percussion is a true artist, painting rhythms with a palette of beats and textures. Educated at the New England Conservatory of Music and seasoned with groups like Pink Talking Fish, Tommaney brings a jazz-infused sensibility that adds depth and dimension to the band's sound. Paul Wolstencroft&nbsp;on keyboards crafts melodies that mesmerize and transport. His tenure with Slightly Stoopid has given him a swagger that shines through each performance, weaving a spell of harmonies and counter-melodies that elevate the band's tribute from mere replication to a reimagined homage.
