Hang after the class to unite with the group and your first drink from the bar is included with your ticket.   
 
This is a Pop Up Style Class!   So Please Bring a Yoga or Fitness Mat.  The surface of the floor is hard so a thicker mat or Foam Fitness Mat is recommended.   Feel free to bring any other props that might make you comfortable, but they are not necessary.  
 
As with all exercise, consult with a doctor before participating.  Absolute beginners are welcome!  You should be able to sit or lay on the floor for an extended period as well as be able to get yourself to standing without assistance.   The practice will be a mix of relaxing and recharging yoga and fitness oriented movements.    Guests are welcome to change in the public restrooms and encouraged to stick around for Open Studios and all that Western Ave Studios has to offer for a memorable Saturday starting at Noon.

Benefit for PACH Outreach Food Pantry

This 4th Benefit Concert, organized by Jim & Michelle Galvin, is raising money for PACH Outreach (a volunteer-staffed, non-profit organization that provides food and other needed resources to help Pepperell MA residents) and the Ayer Masonic Association (a non-profit organization that supports members of the Ayer MA community that need assistance and widows of our masonic lodge members).   

Marc Ford

Although Marc Ford is known by many for his incendiary lead guitar work with rock troubadours “The Black Crowes”, he has worn many hats throughout his storied career. His highly revered solo catalog featuring various backing bands that include some of LA’s Finest session and touring musicians has cemented and showcased his acclaimed songwriting abilities.   

Whether it was winning an NAACP award for his work with Ben Harper/Blind Boys of Alabama, producing Oscar winner Ryan Bingham or playing/recording with Izzy Stradlin, Gov’t Mule, Widespread Panic, and Heartbreaker Mike Campbell, Marc continues to blaze a unique path while receiving incredible accolades during each step of the way.   

After his recent tenure as co-songwriter and lead guitarist for “The Magpie Salute”, which found him penning a stirring duet with bluegrass legend Alison Krauss, it was time for Marc to get back to his solo career and opened for “The Allman Betts Band” during their fall 2021 tour and playing with the “Allman Family Revival” in the Spring of 2022. Marc is currently focusing on recording his newest solo LP. 

Fire In The Field

Boston-based Fire in the Field immediately makes an impression with their eclectic style of heavy driving rock, pushing the boundaries with energy, depth and detail.  Known for dangerous improv overlaid with poetic sensibility, the music is an honest attack on the soul played with a sense of urgency and unfettered passion.  The band’s signature endorphin-releasing, guitar-driven sound has a bluesman’s swagger with a punk heart.  Frontman Mike Moore channels Hendrix via Prince, both musically and in showmanship, exploring the limits of the guitar with true abandon.  Leaving it all on the stage, Moore pushes the envelope, exploring a melting pot of influences, from psychedelic and blues to funk and R & B. 

With Boston’s music scene under their belt, including plays at The Middle East, The Paradise, and Brighton Music Hall, SXSW, and tours in New England and the south.

 Fire in the Field pushes their powerhouse sound even further with their new album RESURRECT.

Fire In The Field’s releases: 

Resurrect - 2020 (self released on vinyl)  2021 (streaming)

“Jimmy Rover” (single) - 2019 

“Under The Sun” (single) - 2019

Look So Strange - 2016 

Gypsy Tea Room - 2014 

A song from Look So Strange was licensed to a Discovery Channel Network show.  Since the release of War Bonnet the band has gone on to tour heavily and get audiences whooped up into a frenzy at venues such as Once Ballroom (Somerville, MA), The Stone Church (Newmarket, NH), Tender Trap (Brooklyn, NYC), The Well (Brooklyn, NYC), Rockwood Music Hall (Manhattan, NYC), Radio Bean (Burlington, VT), Geno's Rock Club (Portland, ME), Ralph's Rock Diner (Worcester, MA), The Cantab Lounge (Cambridge, MA), New World Tavern (Plymouth, MA), Starlite (Southbridge, MA) among others.

Who doesn’t love the way Van Halen rocked the world from 1978 to 1984? They had it all, including the best guitarist on the planet. A lead singer with the biggest personality in our Solar System. A bass player who laid down the law on bass while singing pristine harmonies over the top. And a drummer who kicked everyone’s butt. They created some of the best tunes ever heard on the radio and they all smiled those big smiles while doing it. Every show was a huge party and it just felt good.

Completely Unchained are four talented and creative musicians that re-create the ultimate Van Halen production – the attitude, sounds, excitement, energy and most of all the fun that Van Halen produced as one of the best rock bands in the world.

Completely Unchained takes the concept of a tribute band and raises it to a whole new level. Not only do we recreate the music with unsurpassed skill, but the stage energy and the production at a Completely Unchained show is unmatched. No one else brings the entire package together like Completely Unchained. Come to a show and judge for yourself.

Reverend Horton Heat

Seeing REVEREND HORTON HEAT live is a transformative ex-perience. Flames come off the guitars. Heat singes your skin. There’s nothing like the primal tribal rock & roll transfiguration of a Reverend Horton Heat show. Jim becomes a slicked-back 1950?s rock & roll shaman channeling Screamin’ Jay Hawkins through Buddy Holly, while Jimbo incinerates the Stand-Up Bass. And then there are the “Heatettes”. Those foxy rockabilly chicks dressed in poodle-skirts and cowboy boots slamming the night away. It’s like being magically transported into a Teen Exploitation picture from the 1950?s that’s

currently taking place in the future. Listening to the REVEREND HORTON HEAT is tantamount to injecting pure musical nitrous into the hot-rod engine of your heart. The Reverend’s commandants are simple.

ROCK HARD,
DRIVE FAST,
AND LIVE TRUE.

The Delta Bombers

Long nights soaked in whiskey, the powerful emotions of self-love and self-hate, the raw energy of the plasma laced guitar and vocals: These are a few maxims of the Delta Bombers. Formed in 2008 by four teenagers looking for a good time and a release of their rockabilly sensibilities the Bombers' have grown end over end since then in more ways than one. Their humble beginnings have now grown the Las Vegas outfit into world leading roots Rock n' Rollers clandestine and ready for any stage at any time. Not shy of a live show their performances, now legendary the world over, as is their prolific singer song-writer front man Chris Moinichen. The strike team behind his howling vocals is Andrew Himmler on Guitar, Gregorio Garcia on Stand-Up Bass & PJ Franco on drums. The Delta Bombers exist only to continue what they started: A worldwide Rock and Roll revolution.

"Crazy Train™ is THE Ultimate Ozzy Osbourne Tribute band. Hosted by Vinny Cormier, the best Ozzy impersonator you can get, and supported by a band full of Berklee drop-outs to deliver a captivating show unlike no other musically and visually. The show has a few Special Effects you won't want to miss! We play every show like it is LIVE AND LOUD 1993! We play all of the Prince Of Darkness' noteworthy hits anywhere from Sabbath to Patient #9.

Crazy Train is one of the very best rock tribute shows I've seen. The band delivers an endlessly entertaining show focused on honoring Ozzy's timeless catalog with a staggering dedication to detail.

Vinny Cormier's performance as Ozzy is simply a must-see for reasons that go beyond the visuals. Yes, he looks eerily similar to the great man, and he's mastered all of the mannerisms, but his greatest weapon is his voice. With this band, Cormier sings and performs like Osbourne at the peak of his power.
Guitarist Dylan Cormier must have spent 10,000 studying and practicing this material. One of New England's most technically proficient axe-men, Cormier makes it look effortless as he attacks material from every era of Ozzy's career with extraordinary accuracy, confidence and panache.
Bassist Craig Goodall and drummer Mike Caliandro make for an explosive rhythm section that powers Crazy Train with lethal precision. Their dedication to keeping it in the pocket while instilling the music with an unpredictable edge put this show over the top.
The special effects and light show provide an appropriate aura of spookiness to complement one of the very best rock tribute shows on the road today. Add to that the perfect sound mix and a painstaking commitment to detail and you have an unbeatable rock show with Crazy Train.
Mike Dow,
The Maine Edge and BIG 104 FM
