Even though Roomful of Blues’ lineup has changed over the years, the band has always been one of the tightest, most joyful blues ensembles in the world. Currently an eightpiece unit led by guitarist Chris Vachon, the band has never sounded fresher or stronger. Singer DD Bastos brings her sweet and soulful vocals and adds another bright new dimension to the jazzy, jump-blues musical roots. Their winning combination of jump, swing, blues, R&amp;B and soul remains their calling card, as does their ability to fill the dance floor. Along with bassist John Turner, trumpeter Chris Pratt, drummer Mike Coffey, keyboardist Jeff Ceasrine, baritone and tenor saxophonist Craig Thomas, and tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille, Roomful keeps on rockin’ year after year!
Roomful of Blues, according to DownBeat magazine, “are in a class by themselves.” With their masterful combination of jumping, horn-heavy, hard-edged blues and R&amp;B, it’s no wonder why the great Count Basie called them “the hottest blues band I’ve ever heard.” Since 1967, the group’s deeply rooted blend of swing, rock ‘n’ roll, jump, blues and soul has earned it five Grammy Award nominations and a slew of other accolades, including seven Blues Music Awards.With a non-stop performance schedule for over 55 years, Roomful of Blues has earned critical, popular and radio success and a legion of fans around the globe. including the prestigious DownBeat International Critics Poll for “Best Blues Band”.

Everybody Wants Some is the ultimate Van Halen tribute band, electrifying audiences across the Northeast since 2016. Formerly known as Eruption—and even featured on Boston’s legendary 107.3 WAAF—they’ve earned a reputation as the premier classic Van Halen experience.

From Eddie's blazing guitar solos to David Lee Roth’s wild stage energy, this band nails the look, sound, and attitude of Van Halen’s golden era (1978–1984). Every show is a high-octane, hard-rocking celebration that transports fans back to their first live Van Halen concert.

If you love classic Van Halen, Everybody Wants Some is a must-see. Crank it up, feel the energy, and get ready to party like it's 1984!

Symphony by the Sea opens its 45th season on Sunday, November 8, at 3 p.m. at the Cabot Theater, with “The Heavenly Life,” featuring Mahler’s Symphony No. 4. Mahler imagines heaven through a child’s eyes. The symphony opens with sleigh bells, unfolds in sunlit melodies, and closes with a child’s joyful song of&nbsp;paradise,&nbsp;a vision so dear to the composer that he built the entire work around it.
Soprano Sara Heaton, a member of the Metropolitan Opera Chorus whose singing critics have praised for its “gleaming lyricism,” returns as guest soloist. Maestro Donald Palma, a founding member of the renowned Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, conducts.
Founded in 1981, Symphony by the Sea is the premier professional orchestra north of Boston, presenting outstanding musicians and celebrated soloists.

BEVERLY, MA &mdash; November 5, 2026 &mdash; SadieLadySecrets.com is inviting the North Shore community to come together for a special day of family fun, holiday giving, and appreciation for our nation's heroes at Crafts for the Courageous Craft Fair &amp; Family Day, taking place Sunday, November 8, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the American Legion Club in Beverly, Massachusetts.
Organized by award-winning and best-selling children's author Stephanie Chiulli-Guillemette, Executive Director of SadieLadySecrets.com, the event will feature approximately 20 local vendors, free children's activities, food, raffles, a special Thanksgiving storytime with Sadie Lady, and a visit from Frosty the Snowman.
<h3>Honoring Our Veterans This Holiday Season</h3>
With veterans in their own family, Chiulli-Guillemette and her husband, illustrator Justin Guillemette, understand the importance of recognizing those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
"Honoring our veterans holds a very special place in our hearts," said Chiulli-Guillemette. "These brave men and women have given so much to protect our freedoms, and we believe they deserve more than just our thanks. They deserve our kindness, compassion, respect, and support."
A portion of the event's proceeds will benefit homeless and hungry veterans this holiday season, helping support those facing hardship.
<h3>Help Us Fill the Food Pantry!</h3>
SadieLadySecrets.com will also be collecting food donations to help veterans facing food insecurity.
Requested donations include: Stuffing mix, instant potatoes, cranberry sauce, chicken and vegetable broth, quick bread mixes, brownie and cake mixes, gluten-free stuffing mix, cooking oils, canned gravy, coffee, tea, and spices.
Attendees are encouraged to bring one or more items to the event.
"For many families, the holidays mean gathering around the table and enjoying a warm meal," Chiulli-Guillemette shared. "Unfortunately, some of our veterans are struggling just to put food on that table. Even one donation can make a difference."
<h3>A Special Thanksgiving Storytime and a Visit from Frosty!</h3>
Families can enjoy a little early holiday magic when Frosty the Snowman visits from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, offering children an opportunity to meet the beloved character and take photos.
At 12:30 PM, families are invited to join author Stephanie Chiulli-Guillemette and Sadie Lady for a special storytime featuring Sadie Lady: A Thanksgiving to Remember, celebrating the spirit of Thanksgiving and the importance of gratitude, friendship, and kindness.
Other activities include:
<ul><li>10:00 AM &ndash; 2:00 PM: Shop approximately 20 local vendors and enjoy raffles.</li><li>11:00 AM: $5 pizza combo featuring pizza, chips, and a drink.</li><li>11:00 AM &ndash; 1:30 PM: Free children's crafts, including card making, wooden turkeys, and patriotic wreaths.</li><li>12:00 PM &ndash; 1:00 PM: Special appearance by Frosty the Snowman.</li><li>12:30 PM: Thanksgiving storytime with Sadie Lady.</li><li>1:30 PM: Raffle drawings.</li></ul>
Families are encouraged to scan the QR code on the event flyer to indicate their attendance, helping organizers prepare enough supplies for the free children's crafts.
<h3>Inspiring Kindness Through Community</h3>
Through her children's book collection, Chiulli-Guillemette encourages children to embrace friendship, gratitude, compassion, and the importance of helping others.
"When children see their families supporting veterans and giving back, they learn that kindness isn't just something we talk about. It's something we do," she said.
As Veterans Day and Thanksgiving approach, SadieLadySecrets.com hopes the community will come together to support local businesses, create family memories, and help make the holiday season brighter for veterans in need.
"They stood up for our country. Now it's our turn to stand up for them."
