SUMMARY:On the Trail
DESCRIPTION:On the Trail\nFriday\, February 27 at 7:00 PM (Doors open at 6:30 PM)\nTickets: $25 \nOn the Trail is a modern acoustic band that explores everything from bluegrass to contemporary pop\, from stunning instrumentals to beautiful traditional songs. A special collaboration between On the Trail and a classical string quartet will bring together the classical and bluegrass communities\, featuring bluegrass\, country\, western swing\, and American-inspired classical music. \nThis program\, originally performed in collaboration with the New Haven Symphony\, will be used as inspiration for other symphonies and quartets interested in closing the gap between vernacular\, commercial American styles and American classical music. \n \nOn the Trail was founded through their mutual love of bluegrass and the Punch Brothers band. They have already gained recognition and praise for their exploration and strong execution of challenging music and their new original music. \nIn 2024\, On the Trail performed throughout the northeast\, including the Podunk Bluegrass Festival\, the Ossipee Valley Music Festival\, the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival\, and Bluegrass in Heaven in Lake George\, NY. In 2022\, On the Trail had the honor of winning the Thomas Point Beach Band Competition after participating in 2021’s Telefunken Battle of the Bands at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival. They were also selected as an Emerging Artist at Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in 2023. \nOn The Trail features Austin Scelzo (fiddle and vocals)\, Tom Polizzi (mandolin and vocals)\, Charlie Widmer (guitar and vocals)\, and Matt Curley (upright bass and vocals). Their debut self-titled EP\, On the Trail\, is also available for streaming on all platforms. \nVisit onthetrailbluegrass.com to learn more.

SUMMARY:GRASP Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Grief Recovery After Substance Passing (GRASP) was created to offer understanding\, compassion\, and support for those who have lost someone they love through addiction and overdose. \nToo many times we suffer not only the death of the person we love\, but we become isolated in our grief. We feel\, and too many times it is true\, that no one understands our pain. But at GRASP\, we do. We have suffered this same kind of loss and we have found the love and connection that only those who have lived this loss can give another. And while the pain of this loss will always be with us\, we have found through GRASP that we don’t have to walk the road that is our pain alone. We walk it together; hand in hand and heart to heart. \nGRASP is a discussion group that provides help\, compassion\, and most of all understanding for individuals who have had someone they love die as a result of substance use. \nLearn more by visiting their website at grasphelp.org. Preregistration is requested if you’d like to attend. Contact Greg Kimmet at reddinggrasp@gmail.com or (973) 768-3497. \nThis event is part of our Free Weekly Wednesdays program sponsored by Meadow Ridge.

SUMMARY:GRASP Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Grief Recovery After Substance Passing (GRASP) was created to offer understanding\, compassion\, and support for those who have lost someone they love through addiction and overdose. \nToo many times we suffer not only the death of the person we love\, but we become isolated in our grief. We feel\, and too many times it is true\, that no one understands our pain. But at GRASP\, we do. We have suffered this same kind of loss and we have found the love and connection that only those who have lived this loss can give another. And while the pain of this loss will always be with us\, we have found through GRASP that we don’t have to walk the road that is our pain alone. We walk it together; hand in hand and heart to heart. \nGRASP is a discussion group that provides help\, compassion\, and most of all understanding for individuals who have had someone they love die as a result of substance use. \nLearn more by visiting their website at grasphelp.org. Preregistration is requested if you’d like to attend. Contact Greg Kimmet at reddinggrasp@gmail.com or (973) 768-3497. \nThis event is part of our Free Weekly Wednesdays program sponsored by Meadow Ridge.
