Crushville Presents Stevie Wonder vs Earth Wind &amp; Fire: Hits, deep cuts, mashups, and more from two of the greatest musical catalogs of all time.
Rather than employing a note-for-note copycat formula, Crushville’s 10-piece band takes the listener beyond the original Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind &amp; Fire recordings on a far more expressive, dynamic, and exciting journey. Every show is unique, with spellbinding solos, peak musicianship, and soulful vocals leading the way. You'll hear the hits you know and love, and each show contains surprise deep cut songs, too!
Featuring a who's who of the music industry's finest musicians who have toured with Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, The Temptations and Snarky Puppy and performed with Frankie Valli, Louis Cato, Mary J. Blige, The ABEEZ, Nigel Hall, The Nth Power, and more, join us for a celebration of music for the sake of music.
You know every song from these two artists, but you’ve never heard them like this before. We invite you to join us and dance, sing along, or just take it all in!

As the keyboardist for the legendary Boston band and Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Famers,&nbsp;The Cars,&nbsp;Greg Hawkes&nbsp;forged the sound of rock’s New Wave. Pioneering and pushing the limits of technology and sequencing in the late '70s and through the '80s, Greg cemented the synthesizer's place in rock and pop music, and his contribution has influenced countless artists since. Along with achieving Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame status and massive commercial success with&nbsp;The Cars, Greg has been a sought-after session and touring musician, and has worked with the likes of&nbsp;Paul McCartney, Todd Rundgren, and&nbsp;The Turtles.
&nbsp;The Cars were named Best New Artist in the 1978 Rolling Stone Readers’ Poll. The band’s debut album, The Cars, sold six million copies and appeared on the Billboard 200 album chart for 139 weeks. The Cars had four Top 10 hits: “Shake It Up” (1981), “You Might Think,” (1984), “Drive” (1984), and “Tonight She Comes” (1985). The band won Video of the Year for “You Might Think” at the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984
In 2016, Greg collaborated with the acclaimed Boston band&nbsp;Eddie Japan&nbsp;to produce their 2017 album Golden Age. This eventually led to Greg and the band joining forces to create a night of music by The Cars featuring a set list curated by Greg. Since 2019,&nbsp;Greg Hawkes with Eddie Japan Performing the Music of The Cars&nbsp;has been thrilling audiences across the Northeast with an energetic show that includes hits and deeper cuts from&nbsp;The Cars&nbsp;songbook, along with special selections relating to Greg’s amazing musical career.

The Spanish Inquisition remains one of history's most complicated institutions, its legacy shaped as much by legend and polemic as by archival record. Join linguist and historian Nettah Yoeli-Rimmer as he examines the Inquisition not simply as an instrument of religious persecution, but as a calculated tool of state-building under Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. Explore how a fragmented kingdom gave rise to a unified Spanish identity and the Inquisition's impacts on Spain's Jewish community.
A viewing of the online lecture will be held in the Event Center at Abbot Public Library, followed by a discussion session.
Registration is required and limited to 35. Please register at <a href="https://tinyurl.com/RS-Spanish" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">tinyurl.com/RS-Spanish</a>. Can't attend in person? Please register for the program or join the Wait List. Everyone who is registered will be sent the recording.
Nettah Yoeli-Rimmer studied French and Spanish literature before going on to get a master’s in European culture at the University of Cambridge. He has traveled extensively and has many years of experience leading educational adventures in France, Spain and Italy. He has recently completed a Ph.D. in 19th-century Spanish literature. In addition to his principal research, he regularly writes for a number of publications on urban history and architecture.

We now think of George Washington as America’s foremost patriot, but he came to accept war and independence only slowly. Far from embracing his selection as commander-in-chief, he feared it would lead to his ruin - and possible death. Join author and historian Dr. Edward Lengel as he explores how Washington’s hope for America’s future led him to take on leadership in the struggle for independence. Celebrate the United States of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026 through the lens of Washington’s leadership in the Revolutionary War.
A viewing of the online lecture will be held in the Event Center at Abbot Public Library, followed by a discussion session.
