NIGHTINGALE (CANCELED)


This event has been canceled and may be rescheduled in the future, so stay tuned!

Nightingale was formed in 1993 by Jeremiah McLane (accordion, piano), Keith Murphy (voice, guitar, mandolin, piano, foot percussion), and Becky Tracy (fiddle). The nightingale bird is a poetic figure that appears in traditional songs from many places including parts of Northern Europe, Canada and the United States. So the nightingale was an appropriate emblem for a band commited to drawing inspiration from a wide musical territory that includes Ireland, France, Scandinavia, Newfoundland and Quebec. Join us in welcoming them to their first show here at The Ball and Chain Cafe!

CHRISTINA ASQUITH 7:00 PM


The author of Sisters in War: Love, Survival and Family in the New Iraq bases her new book on the 18 months she lived in and reported from Baghdad, Iraq. The book chronicles the lives of four women who experienced elation, hope and disappointment following the American invasion of Iraq and the fall of Saddam in 2003.  She details the difficult work of establishing women’s centers and of getting women elected to office. Asquith gives her readers a seldom heard female perspective of lives during this chaotic and dangerous time. This is a compiling of personal journeys fusing into a universal message about human dignity. A resident of Burlington, she is senior editor of The Solutions Journal and adjunct professor at the University of Vermont.  In 2007 she was a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.  Join us for the insightful and informative evening and leave with a signed copy of her book.
