  • Image: Yellowman

    Mon., June 2, 5:30-9 p.m.

    The Falcon

    1348 Route 9W, Marlboro Marlboro

    , ,

    Jamaica's first dancehall superstar, Yellowman, changed the course of reggae history with his controversial lyrics, albinism, and shameless sexuality—a complete, cultural 180 following the peaceful, calm tone that Bob Marley had set prior to his death in 1981. His early-success brought the popularity of toasting—the reggae equivalent of rapping—to a whole new level, and helped establish dancehall as the wave of the future. He also epitomized dancehall's penchant for "slack" lyrics: casual violence, sexism, homophobia, general rudeness, and levels of explicitness previously unheard of in Jamaica. In 2019, 16 years after his last album New York, he released No More… (845) 236-7970

  • Image: Slambovian Circus of Dreams

    Sat., June 7, 7:30 p.m.

    The Falcon

    1348 Route 9W, Marlboro Marlboro

    The Slambovian Circus of Dreams returns to the Falcon, not to reclaim glory but to stir up the strange brew they’ve been perfecting since their first gigs here decades ago. A cult band in the best sense, the Slambovians channel Dylan, Bowie, Barrett, and Petty into a psychedelic-folk-rock ritual that’s equal parts sincerity and spectacle. Led by Joziah Longo—equal parts frontman and mystic—they’re a traveling Americana seance with accordion, mandolin, and the occasional saxophone. Expect greatest hits, fresh spells, and a birthday nod to Dylan. Come for the music, stay for the metaphysical realignment. (845) 236-7970

Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot, two artists thrust together due to their involvement in the Impressionist circle, have always served as an interesting comparison for art historians. Morisot proved to the Parisian art scene a woman could have both a family and a successful career while Cassatt held the belief a woman only needed her independence to be fulfilled. 607-547-1400

Conversation with Susan Meyer, led by Nicole Hayes: Sunday June 8th, 2pm. Closing Reception: Sunday June 29th, 1-5pm. Meyer writes: "Like the text-based conversations that pepper our contemporary discourse, the sculptures seem to communicate with one another in ways both fluid and disjointed. Referencing popular culture references including utopian communities, scholar’s rocks, architecture, and mid-century playground/park structures, the works evoke a range of tenuous relationships – between the natural world and the built environment, growth and decay, aspiration and failure. 9177492857
