SUMMARY:Hooly J Chan Full Band and Jessye DeSilva
DESCRIPTION:Hooly J Chan Full Band and Jessye DeSilva\nThrough music and puppetry Hooly J Chan and full band tell a love story for earthlings… transmitted from extraterrestrials… In this story we witness an earthling getting taken up into the beyond and coming back down again… A consciousness altering experience. The high of coming in contact with the aliens… of coming in contact with ourselves… of coming in contact with our earthly impact while we’re here… \nWith special guest Jessye DeSilva \nHooly J Chan is a story teller\, singer songwriter and puppeteer based in the South Coast of Massachusetts. Co-founder of The Wicked Queer Puppet Theater\, hooly creates musical and visual art to expand our imagination of what is possible. Contact High is hoolys 4th full length album. Their band includes woodwinds\, strings\, bass\, guitars\, and drums and together they take audience on a journey into the ethers! Contact High is a story about coming in deeper contact with ourselves\, each other\, our Earth and the beyond… \n  \nJessye DeSilva seamlessly blends theatrical pop elements with traditional folk and roots music to form her piano-driven alt-americana sound. She infuses hope into songs about religious alienation\, mental health struggles\, and societal injustice to create a uniquely queer and unholy ruckus. Jessye’s latest album Glitter Up the Dark was produced by Aaron Lee Tasjan and incorporates Eighties pop and Nineties alternative flourishes to the stately Americana and country-rock sounds of 2023’s Renovations and 2022 debut Landscapes\, which earned her a nomination for Americana Artist of the Year at the 2022 Boston Music Awards. No Depression says “Comparisons to Elton John and Brandi Carlile are easy — DeSilva clearly takes a page from these idols\, anchoring [her] songs in pop melody juggernauts\, gauzy textures\, and vocal bravado.” Nashville Scene named her a 2023 Artist To Watch\, saying “DeSilva could inject new life into a genre that could definitely use a little more pretzel logic.” \nSOCIAL MEDIA: @hoolyjchan / @jessyedmusic \nPresented by The Rockwell \nTimeline: \nDOORS: 7:00 PM \nSHOW: 8:00 PM \nAge Limit: This event is All Ages \nID: Valid ID required for Alcohol Consumption/Entry \nStart Time: Performances will begin no later than 15 minutes after stated show time. \nRefund Policy: All sales are final.

SUMMARY:Michael Bravata: "The Montcalms" Release Show
DESCRIPTION:Michael Bravata: “The Montcalms” Release Show\nCelebrating the release of his 2026 album The Montcalms\, Michael Bravata will perform the record live in its entirety\, backed by a full band\, including a strings section. Musicians who helped record the album will join him on stage to recreate its fully acoustic\, all-natural instrumentation at The Rockwell. \nMichael Bravata is a Boston-based experimental guitarist and composer who has spent his career creating a catalog of evocative and immersive avant-garde pieces. \nBorn in Texas\, Michael spent his formative years in the vibrant indie music scenes of Dallas and Austin. While pursuing a degree at UTA\, Michael wrote and created music driven through post-rock and drone genres. \nOver the past decade\, Michael’s insatiable appetite for artistic exploration and growth has led him to the experimental world of ambient landscapes. This shift marked an evolution in his music\, reflecting a deeper examination of acoustic textures and immersive atmospheres. Michael’s writing is contemplative\, blending the introspective nature of indie rock with ambient’s boundless creativity. \nIn 2024\, Michael completed a Composing and Orchestrating for Film and Television certificate at the Berklee College of Music. This leap has further pushed his pursuits by incorporating orchestral and traditional instrumentation into his work. \nSOCIAL MEDIA: @mrbravata \n\nPresented by The Rockwell \nTimeline: \nDOORS: 7:00 PM \nSHOW: 8:00 PM \nAge Limit: This event is All Ages \nID: Valid ID required for Alcohol Consumption/Entry \nStart Time: Performances will begin no later than 15 minutes after stated show time. \nRefund Policy: All sales are final.

SUMMARY:Kenny Raskin: Follow The Laugh
DESCRIPTION:Kenny Raskin: Follow The Laugh\n\nThis workshop is designed for those who yearn to be clowns\, or for those who just want to use these skills to enhance their acting chops. Clowns live in a world of spontaneity\, flexibility and distractibility. They follow their noses\, and the rest of their senses as well. This workshop is designed to help you find the part of yourself that connects you to your physicality and spontaneity\, sparking wonderfully creative ideas on stage. To create comedy\, one must create surprise.  To do that\, one must surprise oneself. My students initially work without thought\, without ideas\, but rather with their direct contact with the world.  In this way they learn to create accidents\, to see them coming — in a sense\, to make them intentional. We also learn to listen to the audience\, as they often tell the performer what is happening. That is why I tell my students to “follow the laugh!”  If they laugh\, something is worth exploring… \nSOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: kenny.raskin.7 / Instagram: @kennyraskin / LinkedIn: kennyraskin \nINSTRUCTOR BIO: For the past forty years\, Kenny Raskin has made a name for himself worldwide as a leading physical comedian and teacher of clowning. He starred as the lead clown Everyman in Cirque du Soleil’s  NOUVELLE EXPERIENCE\, and was also featured in Cirque du Soleil’s 3D IMAX film entitled JOURNEY OF MAN\, and appeared as well as the Vaudeville Comedian in director Barry Levinson’s film\, LIBERTY HEIGHTS. \nKenny also originated the role of Lefou in Disney’s Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast.\nHe has also been a frequent player in the European Variete and television circuit\, performing in theaters such as the WINTERGARTEN VARIETE in Berlin\, APOLLO VARIETE in Dusseldorf\, the Prinzregenten Theater Munich\, and BBC television. \nKenny is presently the artistic director of the Boston based Medical Clown Troupe Hearts and Noses. \nDATES: December 12th & 13th\, 2026 \nTimes: \nCHECK-IN: 9:30 AM \nSTART: 10:00 AM \nEND: 3:45 PM \nCOST: $80/$125/$225 \nAge Limit: This workshop is 16+ \nRefund Policy: No refunds within 7 days of the workshop. \nADA Accessibility: The Rockwell is partially ADA Accessible with an elevator and restrooms in saloon wide enough for wheelchair use.
