Inspired by Steve Waksman’s recent book, Live Music in America, this panel discussion will focus on the past few decades of Northampton’s live music scene and the city’s musical life more broadly. A panel of local music insiders will reflect on the scene’s history since the 1970s, its present, and where it might go next. Preceding the panel discussion will be a brief presentation by Dylan Gaffney of Forbes Library, who will share archival photos and other materials to illustrate some of the venues and events that have defined Northampton music through the years.
The panel will be moderated by Steve Waksman, Smith College Professor of Music, and will feature:
Beth Caurant, founder and guitarist, Lilith
Joan Holliday, Program Director and afternoon drive host on WRSI, 93.9 The River
Neal Robinson, Iron Horse Music Hall|Race Street Live
Glenn Siegel, founder, Magic Triangle Jazz Series and co-founder, Pioneer Valley Jazz Shares
