    Maine Inside Out presents “Broken Clock: Film, Performance & Dialogue”

    “Broken Clock” is an original play about incarceration, gun violence, grief, family, trust, and time. Chasing your mom’s car down the street… being given your first gun… finding brotherhood in the streets… fighting for a loved one to come home from prison… These are a few of the moments from “Broken Clock” expressed through theater, poetry, music, and dance.

    The play was first performed in June 2024 for the Lewiston Juneteenth Festival “The City That Carries Us: Pain Streets, and Heartbeats” and later developed in residency at Celebration Barn. The play is created by and continually developed by the performing cast with facilitation by Amanda Huotari. The play also features audio recordings of currently incarcerated MIO artists. Following the performance, the audience will be invited to dialogue with the performers about the themes of the play. Location: Emery Community Arts Center. Free, or by donation.

    Live Music with Liam Grant & Glenn Jones

    Emery Community Arts Center welcomes guitarists Liam Grant and Glenn Jones for a concert on Saturday, April 5th at 7:00pm in Emery’s performance space. Liam Grant is a New England guitarist with a punk ethos, cut from the American Primitive cloth. The restless guitar explorations, modal epics, and driving up-tempo rags recall the likes of Grant's pedagogue; Takoma Records, and the path that was paved by his forebears John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Peter Walker, Max Ochs and later Glenn Jones, Steffen Basho-Junghans, Jack Rose, and others. Glenn Jones is a veteran guitarist from the cult post-rock ensemble CUL DE SAC and innovative fingerpicker who has spent the last two decades cultivating an idiosyncratic vernacular for guitar and banjo across ten critically acclaimed solo albums. Steeped in both American Primitive guitar music as well as rock and experimental music, Jones creates rich sonic tapestries with a distinct and stirring voice.Location: Emery Community Arts Center.
