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.

Neighbor is a dynamic quartet that blends ambitious compositions, soulful balladry, and fearless improvisations to create a unique musical experience. Featuring Richard James (vocals, keys) Rob Compa (guitar), Dan Kelly (bass) and Dean Johnston (drums), together they fuel the groove and lay a solid foundation for Neighbor’s "down home" sound.&nbsp;
The band's creative incubation began in early 2019 with a weekly residency that grew in large part by the passion of their fans, the “Neighbors”, who continue to inspire the band as the fan base has expanded across the country. This dedicated community and ongoing connection to fans has become a cornerstone of Neighbor’s success every time they step on stage.
With a diverse catalog of hundreds of songs, the musical juggernaut Neighbor has become one of the most exciting and unpredictable live bands on the music scene today. Not boxed in by a single genre, their songwriting brings elements of Americana, Funk, Rock, Jazz, Soul and more. The band is putting pen to paper once again as they head back into the studio to begin work on their second album.
Come see what's good in the Neighborhood.

At some point, every homeowner starts asking the same questions.
Should we invest in renovations?&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/whats-your-next-move-should-you-stay-renovate-or-move-tickets-1993501188719?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"></a>
Is it time to downsize?
Would moving put us in a better financial position?
Or is staying exactly where we are the right decision?
If you've found yourself asking any of these questions, you're not alone.
Join us for an interactive workshop designed to help homeowners better understand their options before making one of life's biggest financial decisions.
Whether you're thinking about making a move this year, a few years from now, or you're simply curious about today's housing market, you'll leave with practical information that can help you plan your next steps with confidence.
<a href="https://null" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Click Here to Register.</a>
<h4>During this workshop we'll discuss:</h4>
• How today's housing market is affecting homeowners
• When renovating makes financial sense, and when it doesn't
• How to determine whether moving is the right choice
• What buyers are looking for in today's market
• How to prepare today, even if your move is years away
• Live questions and discussion
<h4>Who should attend?</h4>
This workshop is designed for homeowners who are exploring their options. You do not need to be planning to sell your home to benefit from this workshop.
<h4>What makes this workshop different?</h4>
This isn't a sales presentation.
There won't be any high-pressure tactics or sales pitches.
Instead, you'll join a small group of homeowners for an open conversation where you can ask questions, explore your options, and leave with a clearer understanding of what makes the most sense for your situation.
To encourage discussion and ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate, attendance is limited to 10 homeowners.
Light refreshments will be provided.
We look forward to seeing you.

Captain Jack &amp; The Strangers, comprised of six individuals hailing from Gloucester, MA (45 min north of Boston) with over 30 years experience in music and performance. The band is fronted by 27 year old piano phenom, Jack Favazza, who brings a youthful exuberance to this classic American songbook. This group plays a wide catalogue of music from America's own Piano Man, Billy Joel, spanning his entire musical career from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Playing both well known hits, alongside of b-side fan favorites, there are surely songs to appease any audience member.
With a long standing passion for the music of Billy Joel, the band formed in late 2022, after founding members had seen a performance of Billy at the legendary Fenway Park in Boston, MA during the summer of that same year. That performance solidified the decision to perform Billy Joel's music to as many people as possible. Gloucester has a long history of talented artists, and Captain Jack &amp; The Strangers is no different. A local "supergroup" of musicians from well known acts such as Groove Therapy, The Spynz, Mystery Meat, and the Neon 90's have formed this group to bring you the high energy, soft somber moments, and everything in between that Billy Joel is so well known for. Listening to any song at a show will surely invoke your favorite memories and emotions when you hear a specific Billy Joel song done in a way that only Captain Jack &amp; The Strangers can do.
