Off The Rails

Established 2022 in New York City, the Yacht Lobsters sail the waves of the butteriest Soft Rock of the 70's and early 80's. &nbsp;Their big sound recreates - and at times reimagines - the studio mastery of retro-rock icons like Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Hall &amp; Oates, Toto, etc.&nbsp;
​
It's the breezy Yacht Rock cool vibe you know and love, fused with stellar vocals, a full horn section and unique elements of NOLA funk, classic rock and jazz improvisation to keep things bouncy, set your mood to festive and ensure your boat's a-rockin'. &nbsp;There's even a tasteful smattering of original music that sounds like it stepped right out of 1978.
Founded by the visionary team behind Brother Joscephus and the Love Revolution, the Lobster roster features NYC's finest professional musicians who have played together for decades.
Grab your captain's hat, make that Pina Colada a double and climb aboard!

Join us for a reading, discussion and book signing for Bob Perschel's Numinosity: A New England Forester's Search for the Ineffable.
About the Book
Join a New England forester on a fifty-year quest for something larger than all of us. Here are a series of essays, stories and poems emerging from the natural world, but always connected to a life that has had its common share of illumination and darkness, hope and despair, love and loss, ambition and failure, resistance and acceptance, anger and peace. Marking timber for harvest becomes a meditation on the unique connection between responsibility to the natural world and awareness of self and others. A shadow in the woods, a voice on the wind opens up the mystery inherent in all the wisdom traditions. The impact of a sudden death on a logging crew lingers for decades, demanding a resolution between hubris and fate. The crushing retreat of the United States from climate science and advocacy manifests in a longing for the precise language of another time when we were closer to the natural cycles of life.
About the Author
Bob formed a deep connection to the natural world very early in life, beginning a journey that continues today. His experiences in nature have shaped his thinking, expanded his awareness, and offered him new perspectives. To better understand them, Bob studied psychology and wisdom traditions and integrated these insights into a new leadership model in forestry and large-scale land conservation.
Currently, as a speaker and author, he is dedicated to promoting a bioeconomy that emphasizes the construction of tall buildings using engineered wood. His work focuses on replacing materials with high fossil fuel content, such as plastic, steel, and concrete, with sustainably sourced and climate-resilient forest products. Bob lives in an oak forest on the north shore of the island of Martha’s Vineyard.

Join us for a reading, discussion and book signing for Jennifer Cronin's Beneath the Turmoil.
About the Book
The daily struggles Adam Clarke faces are enough to split him in two. His genuine identity as a young man who endeavors to make those around him happy, as a compassionate care worker who goes above and beyond in his profession and as a loving son, pitted against his scatterbrain state of mind, addictions, and his deep self-loathing. Against the advice of doctors and his grade-school teachers, Adam’s mother chose not to medicate her son’s debilitating ADHD. As a result of her decision, Adam begins to self-medicate his problematic impulsiveness and overwhelming urges. Now twenty-three and guilty of a horrific accident, Adam is about to lose the only thing he has left, his freedom. He must decide to give up on himself or fight for a better life on the other side.
