SUMMARY:Salt Lick Incubator – Tonina\, Chance Emerson and Micah Edwards @ The Umbrella
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 22\, 2024 – 7:30pm \nThe Umbrella Arts Center in Concord\, MA welcomes 3 future-favorite emerging music acts up-and-coming through the Salt Lick Incubator program: Tonina\, Chance Emerson\, and Micah Edwards. \n  \nTonina is a St. Louis-raised\, Brooklyn-based vocalist\, bassist and writer who brings a rich blend of Jazz\, Folk \, and Latin boleros into her music\, deeply influenced by their Sicilian and Black heritage and passion for storytelling. Her artistry spans singing\, bass playing and songwriting creating an innovative sound that blends tradition with contemporary edge. \n  \nAs a songwriter\, Chance Emerson doesn’t observe and report. He lives and responds\, mining his unique experiences growing up between Hong Kong and Maine to forge his compelling brand of melodic folk-rock. A descendant of the essayist and transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson\, Chance is the son of a Taiwanese mother and American father. When he decided to move across the world to Providence\, Rhode Island to pursue his studies\, it didn’t take long before a growing passion for singing and writing his own songs overtook his original trajectory. He began performing up and down the Northeast corridor\, headlining clubs to fervent followers and supporting established acts such as Johnnyswim\, Brett Dennen\, Eli Young Band\, Lawrence\, Ripe\, Blues Traveler\, and Nancy Wilson’s Heart. \n  \nMicah Edwards emerges as a luminary in the contemporary music scene\, blending soulful melodies with profound lyricism garnished with a buttery twang. On his much anticipated new project\, he drives a stake in the ground solidifying himself squarely as: Mr. Texas Soul. \n  \nOn October 26\, the three artists were featured on WERS Radio’s Salt Lick Sessions (https://wers.org/listenagain/) and they will appear together for the first time at The Umbrella on Fridfay November 22\, expanding the new concert partnership that began in October 2023 with the inaugural Salt Lick performance featuring Julia Pratt\, Alisa Amador\, and Tiny Habits\, headlined by Brandi Carlile. \n  \nABOUT SALT LICK INCUBATOR \n  \nFounded in 2022 by this year’s Elizabeth Cochary Gross Stewardship of the Arts recipient\, Roger Brown\, the nonprofit Salt Lick Incubator is reshaping the landscape for artists by providing support\, grants\, essential career guidance\, and exposure to new audiences through such vehicles as WERS Radio’s Salt Lick Sessions and the Salt Lick YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Discovery Museum Speaker Series: Does Parenting Have To Be This Hard? What Babies Can Teach Us
DESCRIPTION:Discovery Museum Speaker Series event with Dr. J. Kevin Nugent\, Founder and Director Emeritus of the Brazelton Institute in the Division of Developmental Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital \n  \nAmerican parents are finding parenting much harder than they expected.  Over 80% of parents use internet search engines to look for parenting advice\, but less than 50% of them found the results to be trustworthy. Almost 70% of parents say they would use more positive parenting strategies if only they knew them. So\, where do we find these more positive parenting strategies that go beyond the prescriptive expert-driven “how to” approach of the internet?  Our research suggests that the baby can teach us most of what we need to know as parents\, since children influence the way their parents behave as much as parents influence their children. In fact\, much of what looks like the effect of genes may really be the result of the way genes feed back on the environment. Event is free\, advance registration is required.
