Bio
Formed in 2020, New England-based The Wicked Lo-Down caught the blues world by surprise with their exceptional debut album “We Hot” in 2022. In 2024 they released their critically acclaimed follow-up, “Out Of Line,” via Gulf Coast Records (the record imprint of blues legend Mike Zito). Their fiery and soulful mix earned them a spot at last year's coveted Moulin Blues Festival in the Netherlands.
While the name The Wicked Lo-Down might not immediately come to mind, it won't remain that way for long given their serious technical chops and true feel for the blues. Led by well-know guitarist Paul Size (of The Red Devils) and bluesharp veteran Nick David, the band is rounded out by bassist Brad Hallen, guitarist Jeff Berg, and drummer Nick Toscano.
Expect steamy Texas blues with an East Coast twist. Raw blues harp interspersed with gritty guitar riffs.

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.
“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.
Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.
In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 1, June 10, 1986–featuring the Philip Johnson-designed Lipstick Building (1986) in Manhattan–resonates with the ’80s postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by the circular skylights above.
Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer. The intervention brings attention to the structure’s exposed I-beam twenty feet overhead and responds to the gallery’s interior patterning of ever-changing natural light and winding staircases.
The Painting Gallery (1965) features three works: a photograph from the Collision series and two sculptural Progressions. Situated near Stella’s shaped canvases, Kasten’s fluorescent forms extend the narrative around post-painterly abstraction across mediums and into the present moment.
Da Monsta (1995), the last building Johnson designed at The Glass House, was named following a conversation between Johnson and the critic Herbert Muschamp. It was inspired in part by German Expressionism, an unrealized museum design by Frank Stella, and the work of Frank Gehry. Kasten’s Sideways Corner (2016/2025), a video projection of three-dimensional cubes in primary colors, activates the warped and torqued walls.
The exhibition is curated by Cole Akers, Curator at The Glass House.
Special thanks to Bortolami Gallery, New York.

Barenaked Ladies: Last Summer On Earth Tour 2025
Shadowgrass
ShadowGrass is one of the most exciting young acts in bluegrass today — a fresh force redefining the genre with blistering solos, tight harmonies, and an unmistakable energy that electrifies every stage they step on. Since bursting onto the scene, the band has caught the attention of bluegrass heavyweights like Jeremy Garrett (The Infamous Stringdusters), Billy Strings, and the Kitchen Dwellers, with whom they shared the stage with in The Warehouse back in 2024.
Rooted in tradition but fearless in their approach, ShadowGrass channels the progressive spirit of Newgrass Revival while leaning into the boundary-pushing ethos of today’s jamgrass scene. Their sets move effortlessly from modern originals to hard-driving renditions of classics like the Stanley Brothers’ “Highway of Regret,” showcasing their instrumental prowess and a deep respect for the music’s roots.
With a growing fanbase of younger bluegrass lovers and a sound that’s as infectious as it is authentic, ShadowGrass isn’t just a band to watch — they’re a band to experience.

With Camp MoCA Instructors
Ages: 4 - 10 | $ 415
- Half Day | 9:00-12:30
- Ages 4 - 10
- **Campers must be fully potty trained and bathroom independent**
Join us for a week or more at Camp MoCA this summer! Camp MoCA 2025 season begins the week of June 9th and runs through the week of August 25th. Please note: there is a separate registration pro-rated link for Week 3/July 4th week.
During registration, you will be asked to purchase a Camp MoCA t-shirt for your camper. You only need to purchase 1 t-shirt for the season.
- All campers must purchase a 2025 Camp MoCA CT t-shirt.
- T-shirts will be distributed to your camper on their first day at camp.
Camp MoCA offers weekly art activities, hands-on agricultural lessons, and daily indoor and outdoor fun. Camp MoCA CT is led by certified art educators & CPR/First Aid-certified camp counselors. We are a fully-accredited youth camp held indoors in our spacious, air-conditioned classrooms and outdoors (weather permitting).
- Tuition is refundable (except for administration fees) up to 48 hours after registration
- 50% of tuition refundable until May 31st
- Tuition is non-refundable on or after June 1st
On a typical day, campers will move through art lessons, immersive exhibition time, a science lesson in our working garden, time to play outside, and time to relax with calm, structured activities. We have specific plans to diversify instruction to meet the developmental needs of our campers, and we have special activities on some days when they have water play, ice cream, and dance parties, along with an informal camper talent show. On Fridays we have special programming where students get to exhibit their work in our galleries to their parents!
We have a maximum of 24 campers – 2-3 instructors and 2-4 counselors on-site, along with a Camp Director. Campers bring with them nut-free snacks, lunch, and a water bottle.
Camp MoCA CT is the perfect opportunity for parents to give their children a summer experience they will never forget. Our camp is fully accredited, so parents can rest assured that their children are in good hands. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all campers.
Sending your child to Camp MoCA CT is an investment in their future, providing them with a unique opportunity to explore their creativity, embrace their individuality, and develop a growth mindset. With a focus on agricultural lessons and featured artists, hands-on projects, and celebrating each camper's unique perspective, Camp MoCA CT offers a transformative experience that empowers campers to see themselves as members of a larger community.
At Camp MoCA, we believe that art is not just about creating beautiful objects; it's about fostering creativity, self-expression, and growth. Our agricultural lessons, for example, teach campers about the interconnectedness of our environment and the importance of taking care of the world around us. By engaging in hands-on projects in our working garden, campers learn about the importance of sustainable living and the power of collaboration. They learn that their actions impact the world around them and that they can make a difference in their community.
At Camp MoCA, we celebrate each camper's unique perspective and encourage them to embrace individuality. Providing a supportive and inclusive environment empowers campers to express themselves freely and explore their creativity without fear of judgment. Campers develop a growth mindset through this process that allows them to see failure as an opportunity to learn and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.
We believe all children should have access to creative expression, community building, and hands-on learning experiences, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. We are committed to providing opportunities for all children to attend Camp MoCA CT and participate in our unique and enriching programming. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages a growth mindset, empowering children to see themselves as valuable community members. We believe that investing in a child's artistic education is an investment in their future, and we are dedicated to making this investment accessible to all.
Throughout the summer, our campers will participate in character-building activities that foster trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, fairness, citizenship, kindness, empathy, resilience, patience, perseverance, and open-mindedness. They will also engage in hands-on activities that promote sustainability and eco-friendliness, such as creating recycled art and designing a better future for their communities.

Open Arts Alliance is thrilled to announce their Summerstage season with programs for students in grades 1-12 beginning June 23, 2025.
Budding performers and "veteran actors" alike are encouraged to make new friends and deepen their skills through production-based learning. This summer’s programming will offer a variety of classes and workshops, for students in 1st through 12th grade, and will introduce students to musicals in a condensed time frame with each 2-week session culminating in a full production. There’s something for everyone no matter their experience level-while maintaining an emphasis on student's personal growth. “We love summer at OAA,” says Program Director Cindy Busani. “It’s amazing what our students can do in two weeks.

The Greenwich Art Society is offering Young Artist in the Studio on Saturday mornings!
Monarchs, the once plentiful beauties of yard and field, have suffered habitat loss so great that their numbers in recent years have dwindled to 10% of their peak population. They are called the ‘poster child’ for pollinator habitat protection, owing to their beauty and the remarkable feat of their annual migration to Mexico and back. Protecting Monarchs leads us to a wider awareness of the fragility of insect populations, the steady assault on their numbers through the indiscriminate use of pesticides, and the vital role that diverse native species play in keeping our planet healthy.
At this talk you’ll learn about how to attract a bevy of egg-laying Monarchs to your garden, how to raise the eggs into hungry Monarch caterpillars, and finally, healthy adult Monarchs, as well as some tips on how to grow a variety of different milkweed species to help them thrive.
Children and adults welcome.
About the Speaker:
Alice Ely, UConn Advanced Master Gardener and Master Composter, Monarch Watch Conservation Specialist, creator of multiple public and private Monarch Waystations in Westport CT, and Mother of Monarchs, raises these marvelous butterflies as a hobby and outreach tool. She knows the sense of wonder that these remarkable creatures inspire. Learning to protect them helps teach the importance of species diversity, the dangers of widespread pesticide/herbicide use, and the critical role our own backyards play in saving the planet.
How to raise multitudes of Milkweed and Monarchs. Great for Families!

At Camp MoCA, we celebrate each camper's unique perspective and encourage them to embrace individuality. Providing a supportive and inclusive environment empowers campers to express themselves freely and explore their creativity without fear of judgment. Campers develop a growth mindset through this process that allows them to see failure as an opportunity to learn and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.
We believe all children should have access to creative expression, community building, and hands-on learning experiences, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. We are committed to providing opportunities for all children to attend Camp MoCA CT and participate in our unique and enriching programming. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages a growth mindset, empowering children to see themselves as valuable community members. We believe that investing in a child's artistic education is an investment in their future, and we are dedicated to making this investment accessible to all.
Throughout the summer, our campers will participate in character-building activities that foster trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, fairness, citizenship, kindness, empathy, resilience, patience, perseverance, and open-mindedness. They will also engage in hands-on activities that promote sustainability and eco-friendliness, such as creating recycled art and designing a better future for their communities.

Campers develop a growth mindset through this process that allows them to see failure as an opportunity to learn and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.
We believe all children should have access to creative expression, community building, and hands-on learning experiences, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. We are committed to providing opportunities for all children to attend Camp MoCA CT and participate in our unique and enriching programming. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages a growth mindset, empowering children to see themselves as valuable community members. We believe that investing in a child's artistic education is an investment in their future, and we are dedicated to making this investment accessible to all.
Throughout the summer, our campers will participate in character-building activities that foster trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, fairness, citizenship, kindness, empathy, resilience, patience, perseverance, and open-mindedness. They will also engage in hands-on activities that promote sustainability and eco-friendliness, such as creating recycled art and designing a better future for their communities.

Pianist Chris Coogan has been one of the most popular performers in our area for many years, and for good reason: He “plays great”! Chris grew up here, and has chosen to make Fairfield County his home, as well as his home base for his many faceted music career. He is a world class jazz pianist, a sensitive and in demand accompanist for singers, a powerhouse Gospel pianist, choir director and bandleader, a highly effective and inspiring educator, and general all around amazing and good guy.
The Jazz Rabbi met Chris shortly after moving to Westport almost 10 years ago, and realized they were cut from the same cloth. They share a deep spiritual attachment to African-American music that digs deep into its roots and extends out from there.
Chris Coogan plays at the VFW in Westport!

Our agricultural lessons, for example, teach campers about the interconnectedness of our environment and the importance of taking care of the world around us.

They learn that their actions impact the world around them and that they can make a difference in their community.

In addition to drumming, Raquy plays the mystical twelve-string King Kemenche Tarhu, and is a disciple of the Azeri kemenche master Imamyar Hasanov and Arslan Hazretti.
