Food:

Fair:

Music:
  • On Friday, September 6. the me&thee kicks off the fall season with Slaid Cleaves.  Doors open at 7:30 PM for this 8:00 PM show at the me&thee coffeehouse which is located at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Marblehead at 28 Mugford Street. Slaid’s sparse story: grew up in Maine; lives in Texas; writes songs; makes records; travels around; tries to be good. Twenty years into his career, the celebrated songwriter’s latest release Still Fighting the War spotlights an artist in peak form.  Maine’s Putnam Smith, who opens the show is an acclaimed singer-songwriter and a do-it-yourselfer to the core, even prints his own CD cases on a century-old letterpress obtained and refurbished for that very purpose.
Art:
  • The Stetson Art Gallery in the Unitarian Universalist Church of Marblehead reopens Sunday, September 8, with “My HeART,” an exhibit of new works by versatile Marblehead artist Holly Aloha Jaynes. An opening reception will be held from Noon-2 p.m. The new art in Holly Aloha Jaynes’ exhibit consists primarily of collages, depicting subjects of value and interest to the artist.  Jaynes experiments with a wide variety of media from rust, fabric, ruined photos, images and painted papers, combining different texture, colors, or images to see how an original idea may be transformed to create something totally unexpected, expanding the imagination.
