Simon White of Wendell has been fronting the band Rhythm Inc. Tickets available at Simon White releases solo album “The Wishing Tree” We’ll let you know when the album is done, in the meantime get your holiday celebrations off to a strong start by enjoying a night out at this always enjoyable show. He said it’s worth it, as Kent is getting some topflight musicians from the city to contribute to the project. Work on the album is coming along but as Salloom pointed out is complicated by the fact that Kent is in Nashville which means Salloom has to record his parts and then send them to Tennessee to be completed. The video can be viewed on YouTube and was directed by Piper Preston. You can get a glimpse into this new material by checking out a new video for the song “I’m Free.” The song is a life affirming number about surviving a major illness, a subject Salloom knows all to well having experienced a near fatal heart attack in 2009. Salloom and Kent paired up for a show at the Calvin Theater in Northampton last month. Salloom is currently working on a new album that is being produced by singer-songwriter Jamie Kent, a native of Northampton who now resides in Nashville. And of course there will be some holiday favorites, including his classic”The Talking Christmas Blues,” an all too real look at the family drama that surfaces over the holidays. Look for a mix of covers and and originals including songs from his latest CD, “Hearty” and some new material to be played at this show. His honest folk music and the stories he tells between songs are what make his shows so special.

Salloom has been well known on the local music scene for many years now, delighting audiences with his annual free show at Look Park and at these gigs in Greenfield. This holiday show marks his annual stop at the venue and he will be joined by his ace band as well as special guest blues singer Janet Ryan who will also play keyboards. Tickets available at On Saturday night it’s Roger Salloom whose history playing Hawks and Reed also dates back to the Arts Block days. Those who attend this show will be the first to get their hands on a hard copy (CD, no vinyl yet) of this new release. “This project was a total labor of love and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be putting it out this holiday season,” said the band. “Recovered,” features the group’s interpretations of mostly well known songs from their banjo driven version of U2’s “One” to a powerful take on Springsteen’s “The Rising.” The rootsy spin they give songs like Arcade Fire’s “Keep the Car Running” and the passion they infuse in each of these eight tracks makes this a winning collection. This show will double as a Thanksgiving celebration and a release show for “Recovered” a collection of cover songs from the band’s January 2021 live-streamed benefit concert that raised more than $13,000 for the Berkshire Community Action Council to be put towards lost income in the service industry due to the Global Pandemic. If you caught their rowdy rockin’ set at the Green River Festival this summer you know the band has made up for lost time. The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow released its full-length debut, “Band Together” in January of 2020 and was gearing up for a big release show at the Shea Theater in March of that year when the pandemic hit. The event was a success so the participating musicians decided to do a few more shows together and before they knew it they had formed the Whiskey Treaty Roadshow, a band that would showcase the singing and songwriting talents of all five members. The group first came together at the venue ( then the Arts Block) in 2012 when event organizer Susie Hanna put together the Whiskey Treaty festival which featured singer-songwriters who all hailed from either the hilltowns of Franklin County or the Berkshires and of course shared a love of whiskey. The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow, also known as the Treaty are Tory Hanna, Billy Keane, Chris Merenda, Greg Smith and David Tanklefsky. then on Saturday singer-songwriter Roger Salloom is back for his annual show which this year will include a special free showing of the documentary about his life “So Glad You Made It: The Saga of Roger Salloom, America’s Best Unknown Songwriter” The award winning film by Chris Sautter will be shown at 5 p.m and Salloom’s performance will be at 7 p.m. It will be like old home days at Hawks and Reed Performing Arts Center in Greenfield when a couple of longtime favorites return this weekend- rootsy rockers The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow will hold a release show for its new live recording “Recovered” at the Greenfield venue on Friday night at 8 p.m.
