The music tells timeless stories of happiness, heartbreak, rejection and redemption with rhythm that keeps audiences dancing. Combining rock and roll, blues, country and funk, the band has worked tirelessly to craft a sound that is filled with hard riffs and soulful melodies. Copilot is an Americana Pop duo based in Norfolk, MA. As Copilot, Ry McDonald and Maggie Quealy explore their passion for unique, Americana music, through their popular covers and original songs in a way that many listeners haven't heard before. ​​Colbis the Creature is based in the suburbs of Boston.  Predominantly forging songs with a solid rock texture and pop-flavored coating, Nick Caliendo softly hammers honest lyrics into your head with the help of, the dissonant, stringed disarray of Danny Hoey's feedback. Colbis is anchored to the earth by an exacting rhythm section, courtesy of Colby Blauvelt. Their self-titled album (Colbis the Creature) is infectious and lingers long after with melodic hooks and odd imagery. With all members having different interests and influences, none of their songs sound like the next, but somehow all fit together.  Tickets: Purchased in advance--$10  At the door--$12.

Tri-County Early Education Preschoolers Bake Bread

What does water, yeast, salt, flour and a zip-lock bag make? Bread, of course!

It was a thrilling culinary adventure for our Early Education preschoolers who recently made bread with Luke Lopez, a Culinary Arts Junior and Early Education Juniors, Madi Martini, Emma Monahan and Kylie Peltier.

Baking bread with preschoolers gives them a sensory experience, math experience, language experience, and science – a true learning opportunity. In a world where prepared food seems to be the norm, it's good for kids to know that something, even as basic as bread, comes from somewhere before it goes to the store.

After making the bread, the preschoolers were able to “purchase” the bread from the bakery for a penny. Fun was had by all as the kids were super-excited to receive their breads and take them home to share with their families!
