We were born.  We raised children. We grew grandkids, dogs, rabbits, birds . . . We have read tales about fairy godmothers.  We know what a mother is not. We certainly know what we want mothers to be.  We have all mothered in some way.  

In celebration of Mother’s Day and of all those who mother, no matter who we are, come enjoy writers reading their work about being a mother of children, grandchildren, and fur babies, about having a mother, and about losing mothers.

Come hear Bright Brown at The Gatehouse on his way through town from New York City!
Bright Brown is sonic cinema. Bittersweet layers and textures abound, and beautifully crafted songs exist at the core. Alex Nahas’ verse boldly chooses to sit “between the meager and the mundane” elevating the everyday. He generates a broad sonic palette on the rarely seen, Chapman Stick conjuring up a filmic landscape.

Originally hailing from San Francisco where he formed the critically acclaimed art rock ensemble, Laughingstock, Nahas has collaborated in the studio and on the road with John Vanderslice, Zoe Keating, DJ Shadow, Mates of State, and Jill Tracy amongst other artful denizens of the SF music scene. He's also shared the stage with the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, Richard Buckner, Spoon, Frank Black, and Robin Guthrie of The Cocteau Twins

"...Bright Brown bring an ideal soundtrack to the crisp, autumn air. ...Sounds range from sparse and repetitive like a piece for avant-garde dance to expansive and melodic like the theme from a western where everyone dies in the same pool of blood." - The Deli NYC

Mary has been singing since before she can remember. In fact she sang so much as a kid, there were rules in the house about where and when she was allowed to sing, for example this one that was repeated almost daily: "No singing at the dinner table!"

She has a Bachelor of Music in Classical Voice and spent her young adulthood working with composers and instrumentalists to create and perform modern classical music. She co-founded the No Noise Reduction concert series, presenting concerts in DC and New York for many years. She has performed all kinds of repertoire, from 14th century madrigals to 19th century opera, through jazz standards and folk songs, and all the way to the craziest of modern classical music and performance art.

These days, she's a little more chill. She mostly performs with her very fun band, The Ukuladies, or doing solo shows like today, accompanying herself on the baritone ukulele, which has a surprisingly sweet and mellow timbre. She’ll be singing her favorite mixture of songs which lean vaguely toward the jazz/folk end of the musical spectrum, and blend comedy, kindness, and hopefulness with just a little bit of snark for good measure. Her main focus in music and life is to have everything she does illuminate the beauty of humanity and this world, and move us toward peace and love.

Sunday afternoon live music has rapidly become a popular offering at The Gatehouse. In anticipation of the Great Eclipse, Jimbo Talbot and Jo Jo Russell share an interactive, intergalactic afternoon of fun, frivolity and musical joy. One part sound journey, one part songs in honor of our connection to the Sun and each other, and one part pure, joyful, fun audience participation. We guarantee you’ll leave not having experienced anything quite like it before.

Free and open to the public

Jo Jo Russell has been playing music since the age of thirteen, making it his full-time profession for over fifty years. Quick-witted, a spontaneous poet, equally at home on bass, acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and host of inventive instruments, the Northern New Jersey native relocated to Norwich several years ago where he crafts his own songs, as well as covers a huge catalog of hits. He plays now both, locally and in-and-around metro New York-New Jersey.

Cooperstown native-born, Jimbo Talbot grew up spending long summers along the shores of Otsego Lake, where he learned about music, nature, the stars at night and his connection to it all, and most importantly family values in singing campfire songs together. Now, fifty years later, this multi-instrumentalist, former opera singer is back in Central New York where he provides facilitation, training and team-building services in community building via drum circles, improvisational music making, and sound journeys.

Back by popular demand, Jimbo Talbot brings his large collection of drums, percussion and sound instruments so that everyone can be in the band. Drumming is as elemental as the beating heart. That’s why since the dawn of humanity, everyone is hard-wired to play drums. Even if you’ve never played before or think you have no rhythm, Jimbo will gently and playfully guide you and yours along a rhythmic journey to heart-connection and improvised creative music play. Great fun for families and friends, new and old. No experience necessary. All instruments provided. Bring a water bottle, and consider headphones or earplugs if hearing sensitive.

The Gatehouse filled to capacity last time, so come early to get your choice seating.

Tickets - $15

 $25 household of 2 or more

Join Jimbo Talbot for a fun filled afternoon learning the basics of the ukulele. Learn about the instrument, strumming techniques, ukulele rhythm patterns, and several simple chords that will allow you to play 100’s of songs. Ukuleles provided for play.

Cost - $35, includes handouts and song sheets

Drawing sonic inspirations from the likes of timeless enigmatic artists like Nick Drake, Elliot Smith, and Labi Siffre, he has single-handedly crafted a truly unique sound.

Collapsing in on himself and rising up with a new chapter to share, brendan’s music reflects an ardent longing innately present within us all. To be heard, and to be known.

Matt Whyte had his start in the music business leading the late aughts band Earl Greyhound, a 70s rock influenced group that Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and The New Yorker all rallied behind following the release of their debut album, Soft Targets. Their music appeared in multiple video games, films and TV shows while they toured the world on their own and in support of acts like Chris Cornell and Portugal The Man. Before the band split in 2011, Earl Greyhound put out a total of 5 releases only to ultimately be remarked upon unfavorably by Beavis and Butthead. 

In 2012 Matt began a career composing to picture and has developed as a producer of multiple genres ranging from orchestral to techno. Composing credits include Netflix’s Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond, FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, and the series Tiger King, Matt also makes music for commercials including a 2017 Budweiser ad for which he picked up a Cannes Lion award. 

As a performer, Matt has a regular gig singing Bossa Nova at a cocktail bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and has continued to tour internationally for his own music and as a sideman with acts like Joan as Policewoman and Rival Schools. In 2017 Matt released his first album post Earl Greyhound under the pseudonym Rupe Shearns with an eclectic collection of songs titled To a Deer Outside Ithaca.

In the tradition of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and musicians committed to the peace movement during the folk revival of 1960s, Matt uses music as a direct tool for progressive activism. His most recent project Sing For Science is a multi disciplinary work including a collection of songs celebrating the work of scientists. Through it he hopes to help restore science as an equalizing force underpinning our democracy by spreading science literacy with the transformative power of music. 

Matt lives with his wife and 2 daughters in Cherry Valley, NY.

John Potocnik is an alumni of the American Folk Culture Program in Cooperstown N.Y. where he began playing contra dances in the area.

Laim Herbert has acted for film, television and theatre as well as nurturing his own musical career. He recently starred in the Foothills production of Twisted and is local to Gilbertsville NY. His introspective folky songs draw inspiration from the early Greenwich village days of Bob Dylan and his cohorts.

In this self-help memoir, Taryn Grimes, a writer, producer, and former Broadway, film, and television actress, finds the line between death and comedy unexpectedly blurred.

Taryn, the youngest of seven children, rushes to her 96-year-old mother’s deathbed for one final goodbye. Upon her arrival, she is immersed in the humor commonly used by her family, when dealing with the challenges of their extremely unusual upbringing. At the end of the first day, she is assigned the overwhelming task of administering end-of-life medications. For seven days, she sleeps in the chair by her mother’s bed, giving her medication every few hours, becoming increasingly exhausted, all the while watching as her mother moves closer to breathing her last breath.

After discovering her mother’s journal, Taryn gets lost in the tragic, humorous, and romantic stories of life during World War II. With each entry, she finds one more piece of the puzzle, one more clue to her mother’s life story, and gathers one more life-changing insight.

It’s a whirlwind of discovery, filled with hilarity, frustration, passion, and tears. With brutal honesty, the story delicately balances between emotional vulnerability and the kind of joy that can only be experienced through Inappropriate Laughter.

After reading from her book Inappropriate Laughter the author will take questions and share a list of lessons learned and useful tools to lead those who may be in need of guidance.
