“Here’s to life!” Fans around the world can be found singing the chorus of the Roger Clyne-penned fan favorite “Mekong” and toasting their glasses in unison to celebrate life through rock-n-roll. But the inspiration for the song dates back to the time Roger went to Taipei, Taiwan, as a college student to teach English during the day and busk with his guitar at night for money.
Today, as Clyne prepares to release his 11th studio album, he continues to transform his life experiences, inspirations, observations and his own muses into timeless music. And whether he’s wearing his Converse high tops, boots or sandals, Clyne’s blend of punk rock, americana, indie-pop and mariachi influences have made him, drummer PH Naffah, guitarist Jim Dalton and bassist Nick Scropos – collectively known as Roger Clyne &amp; The Peacemakers – one of America’s best live rock-n-roll bands.

Salem Athenaeum

For centuries the folklore of the Swiss Alps has captured the imagination: cautionary tales and legends of castles and deep forests where giants roam freely and sinister black hounds lurk in wait for unsuspecting villagers walking home. Explore this otherworldly era with us in the Athenaeum garden on July 2 at 6pm.
As part of their U.S. book launch, Rachel TonThat and Tobias Bärtsch will read from Die Alp an sich, their bilingual collection that translates folklore from the Sarganserland region in eastern Switzerland into English and high German for the first time. The book dwells on these stories and how they have evolved over time, pairing their retellings with historical source texts and contextual explanations. 
Following their reading, Aida Feng, Visiting Assistant Professor of German at the College of the Holy Cross, will moderate a discussion with TonThat and Bärtsch about the reframing of these tales and the evolution of the project from a simple translation into a feminist and environmentally conscious engagement with the source materials.

Swampscott Town Hall

The Swampscott Garden Music Gathering will be held on Sunday, July 5, 2026, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Swampscott's Linscott Park across from the Swampscott Town Hall.&nbsp;&nbsp;While last year's Garden Art Walk welcomed visitors into gardens throughout town, this year's gathering offers a relaxed afternoon of music, creativity, and community on Monument Avenue overlooking the ocean.
The afternoon begins at 1:00 p.m. with a community drum circle led by Philip Alexander, who will provide a variety of drums and percussion instruments for everyone to enjoy. No experience is necessary—participants of all ages are invited to join in and make music together.
At 2:00 p.m., Tom Reid, Paul Todisco, and Wendy Linkin of The Boomerangs will perform favorite hits from the 1960s and 1970s. Then, at 2:30 p.m., Mike Brison and Philip Alexander will each perform an acoustic set featuring a mix of classic favorites.
Gardeners are invited to participate in an optional surprise garden swap. Bring a small tote bag containing a garden treasure—perhaps a plant, cutting, flowers, herbs, berries, or vegetables—and enjoy exchanging it for another surprise from a fellow gardener.
Bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket, a musical instrument, a sketch pad, or simply yourself. Whether you'd like to sing along, sketch the scenery, visit with neighbors, or simply enjoy a summer afternoon by the ocean, all are welcome.
Come relax, reconnect, create, and celebrate the friendships that have grown through Swampscott's gardening, music, and arts community.
