The violinist, composer and singer - best known for her fifteen-year tenure in political post-punk band Thee Silver Mt. Zion - has been captivating audiences with gritty, warmly expressive electronic and drone-inflected post-classical Minimalism (and sometimes Maximalism), accented by a distinctive melodic sensibility that channels Klezmer, Balkan and Middle Eastern tropes.

Their debut solo album "Sapropelic Pycnic" was released through independent Chicago label Drag City in 2017.

Bollywood Movie Night also known as Vidhiism Events are pop-up movie fairs presented by Vidhi Salla, Vermont-based journalist and host of the international radio show, Vidhi’s Bollywood Jukebox. At Nova Arts on from 7pm onwards, Vidhi will be presenting the Bollywood film English Vinglish (2013). There will be Bollywood dance music before the screening and a brief cultural introduction to the film presented by Vidhi.

Audiences can shop for Vidhi’s pop-up stall of Indian handicrafts such as shawls, purses and silver jewelry sourced directly from the makers. Also available at the venue will be Indian snacks that audiences can enjoy before the screening and during the 10-minute intermission.

About the film:

English Vinglish, directed by Gauri Shinde, is the story of a homemaker named Shashi Godbole who secretly enrolls for a basic English-speaking class on her month-long trip to New York City. Shashi represents countless Indians who feel lost and under-confident in urban India due to their lack of proficiency in the English language. English Vinglish, the title alludes to the linguistic habit in India of attaching a rhyming made-up word to an existing one; for example coffee-vofee, sugar-vugar, course-vourse, talk-shalk, etc. Several classroom scenes in the film allude to the popular British sitcom from the 1970s, Mind Your Language. A major portion of the film is shot in New York City and audiences living in the US will be delighted to watch familiar locations in a Bollywood film. English Vinglish is a light-hearted film that connects with audiences across all age groups and ethnicities. The film has catchy upbeat music composed by contemporary music director Amit Trivedi. The primary language of the film is Hindi but the copy to be screened will have English subtitles.

Vidhi’s movie events present authentic, undiluted Indian culture to global audiences along with a memorable movie-watching experience.

Doors open at 7pm, the kitchen will be open until 8pm. The film will begin then.

The music of Little Mazarn is a cool float a few feet from the ground through a dimly lit, almost familiar forest. It is quieter than silence, big as everything, still but always moving. If you’ve ever had flying dreams, or an amazing night time bike ride on LSD, this might be a world for you. Chords are made up of notes; Little Mazarn gives them all their own moment. There are NO superfluous notes played here.

Lindsey’s kind and twisting voice ambles along over the spare sounds of Jeff Johnston’s saw bowing, Ralph White’s electric mbira wanderings, and her own slow banjo. Like DJ Screw, Bohren & Der Club of Gore, and anyone who chooses to walk instead of ride, Lindsey realizes the amazing power of slow… slow… slow music. Lindsey is at once a baby and a wise old man. Get in this canoe at dawn on some Texas river that remembers when Comanche slept under the stars.

—Thor Harris

Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, and currently based in Western Massachusetts, violinist, vocalist and songwriter Aisha Burns began playing violin when she was 10 years old, and has been touring and recording since 2006. Soon after moving to Austin in 2005, she gained her start with folk-rock outfit Alex Dupree and the Trapdoor Band, and joined the instrumental ensemble Balmorhea on violin in 2007. After years of secret singing, she released her solo debut Life in the Midwater in 2013. Called "twisting, ethereal...arresting" by Dazed Magazine, and praised for its "delicate intimacy" by NPR, Life in the Midwater explored mortality and relationships with candor and wisdom.

Her new album, Argonauta, is a collection of songs about her struggle with the grief of losing her mother, while also navigating a new relationship, and ultimately trying to discern the new normal for her life.

Doors are at 7pm, music will start at 8.

Western Mass indie-pop stalwarts Lost Film expanded into a 5 piece live band in 2019 following the release of the project's third album 'Zero Summer' with tour plans booked for Spring 2020. When the pandemic arrived, the main songwriter Jimmy Hewitt like most creatives quarantined at home writing and recording with optimism that life would go back to normal in the coming weeks. As the weeks turned into months, demo recordings sparked by a Roland707 sample pack giveaway online started to pile up. Hewitt remained positive (or naive) that the new collection of song ideas could soon be fleshed out with the band in the studio and left the drum machine backed demos neglected for months and shifted efforts to launch Relief Map Records at the start of 2021. Lost Film is set to release new single “Big Talk” which Stereogum highlighted as "a gem" likening to Beach Fossils and LVL UP. Texturized by not much more than an electric guitar, a drum machine and distorted synthesizers, “Big Talk” marks a return to minimalist, early aught's guitar-pop. The single wastes no time bursting into a soaring hook that lingers on the question of "is it where you are that keeps us apart or is it who you are?" Solitude can offer a silver lining of showing what we're able to live with and more importantly live without.

Ex-Temper creates pivoting, unpredictable, guitar-driven rock layered with catchy melodies and three-part vocal harmonies. Once described as "Fugazi meets the Andrews Sisters” and credited with playing "heavy, head-banging riffs,” their lyrics explore everything from heartbreak and obsession, to prominent social issues like police brutality, mass shootings, the inefficiency of white guilt, and mansplaining; as well as mysteries like the Green Children of Woolpit, and existential questions such as if an organ donor’s consciousness or memories can be transplanted into the recipient’s mind.

The band formed in 2015, when Kaliis Smith, Kate Dowd, and Lynn Simonds, who knew each other from playing in the Northampton, MA music scene with other bands, sought each other out with the intention of starting an all-female rock band that specialized in being kick-ass while maintaining steadfast musicality. Dana Wilde joined in 2016 and since then the band has played dozens of shows with venues ranging from basements, bars, all-ages community spaces, and stages like The Iron Horse (Northampton, MA), Gateway City Arts (Holyoke, MA), and The Stone Church (Brattleboro, VT). Ex-Temper has shared the stage with Kristin Hersh, Aye Nako, The Winterpills, Bent Knee, Vundabar, Spouse, and GRLwood.

After years of honing their craft, their self-titled EP was released on March 4, 2022. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Mark Alan Miller at Sonelab Recording Studios in Easthampton, MA. This release follows up their first EP “Magnetic” from 2018, available on Bandcamp.

Old Moon, the solo project of Vermont based musician Tom Weir, creates music that blends lush textures with classic indie-pop songwriting - all with a distinct post-punk edge. Weir began releasing music under the Old Moon name in 2020 and has kept up a steady stream of solidly prolific releases over the last few years. His latest full length Cities of the Plain is full of chiming guitars, introspective lyrics, and moody atmosphere that tells a story of self improvement over its 9 tracks. Old Moon is set to release a new EP titled Under All Skies in September on Relief Map Records. This new release sees Weir put a heavier emphasis on songwriting and narrative, with a Springsteen-esque approach to storytelling woven throughout his blistering dream pop.

Doors at 7pm, music will start around 730!

Mobile since her birth in Singapore, composer, saxophonist, and artivist Caroline Davis’s music covers a wide range of styles, owed to her shifting environment as a child. As a leader, she has released six albums: Live Work & Play (2012), Doors: Chicago Storylines (2015), Heart Tonic (2018), Alula (2019), Anthems (2019), and Portals (2021). She won Downbeat’s Critic’s Poll Rising Star Alto-Saxophonist (2018) and was listed in Downbeat’s Readers Poll (2021). Her work has garnered much praise from NPR, The New York Times, The Wire, DownBeat, JazzTimes, and many international publications.

Davis is active as both a side-person and a leader in a diverse set of music communities (jazz, improvised music, modern classical, R&B, folk). Davis has worked with Lee Konitz, Angelica Sanchez, The Femme Jam, Matt Mitchell, Terry Riley, Miles Okazaki, Thana Alexa, and Billy Kaye, to name a few. Her collaborations include My Tree (with Ben Hoffmann) and Persona (with Rob Clearfield).

Davis was the recipient of CMA's Performance Plus Grant (2021), NYFA's City Artist Corps Grant (2021), Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship (2019-2020); and she has participated in several residency programs, including fellow-in-residence at The Jazz Gallery (2022) and composer-in-residence at MacDowell (2019). Her compositional practice integrates music with the cognitive sciences, anatomical structures, and the brain, influenced by her Ph.D in Music Cognition. Davis is an advocate for social justice in the realm of gender (developed in a co-taught Jazz & Gender course at The New School) as well as in the abolitionist movement (Justice for Keith Lamar).

As an educator, Caroline brings her unique knowledge of music and psychology to her teaching. She has been on the faculty at Litchfield Jazz Camp for 15 years, Stanford Jazz Institute for 6 years, and an educator at The New School, Northwestern University, Harvard University, DePaul University, Columbia College, University of Texas at Arlington, and Jazz at Lincoln Center, to name a few.
