This talk will explore two works by Tracey Emin through the lens of her hometown, Margate. The seaside town of Margate is not merely a backdrop for Emin, but a vital source of creative inspiration, just as it was for artists and writers past, including J. M. W. Turner, T. S. Eliot, and Charles Dickens. Emin’s identification with Margate, shaped by formative and turbulent years spent there, is central to her artistic persona—indeed, during the late 1990s Emin coined the moniker “Mad Tracey from Margate.” Lily Waterton will examine how Emin's personal mythology intertwines with the social and geographic context of the place she continues to call home.

About the Bands
Christine Ohlman and Rebel Montez
Christine Ohlman is a singer, songwriter, and musician with a deep love for rock & roll. Her career spans decades, from early bands like The Scratch Band to her current work with Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez. She’s a long-time vocalist for Saturday Night Live’s band and has collaborated with legendary artists like Elvis Costello, Dion, and Bonnie Raitt. Known for her powerful vocals and signature beehive hairstyle, she’s not just a performer but also a passionate advocate for keeping the soul alive in rock & roll, evident in her songwriting and her dedication to music history through writing and musicology work.
Dave Matthews Tribute Band
DMTB is a celebration of the music of the Dave Matthews Band. DMTB is a time machine to a funky tea party in the 90’s, a boisterous time of tape trading, sing-alongs, and exploration into a new sonic landscape spearheaded by complex guitar riffs, soaring violin melodies, smooth sax lines, and explorative-explosive drumming. Dedicated to recreating that moment in musical history, the DMTB has been honing their craft for over 20 years. The DMTB aims to transport the listener back in time. The band takes inspiration from the classic DMB sound, with immense respect for the original quintet. While including material from the bands later and current catalogs, the goal is to create a well rounded and authentic tribute.
Orleans
Platinum hit-maker ORLEANS is now celebrating 50+ YEARS of live performances! Praised and respected by their peers for their songwriting skills, instrumental prowess and classic trademark harmonies, their iconic radio hits, including “Still The One”, “Dance With Me” and “Love Takes Time,” still resonate with audiences of all ages thanks to continued airplay on Classic Rock radio, television, film and streaming services. Orleans has produced a body of work spanning 17 albums and several DVDs … and they continue to be in demand for live shows, as they have been now for 5 decades. Since its humble beginnings in Woodstock NY and throughout countless worldwide tours, the band has set some very high standards. Here in 2023 and beyond, Orleans continues to meet and exceed those standards at every show, to the delight of audiences everywhere.
Shaboo AllStars
Shaboo Allstars were formed by R&B vocalist David “Lefty” Foster and Matt “Guitar” Murphy in 1979. They have played all 50 states and toured extensively in Europe. The band’s line-up changes regularly and always features top musicians from the world’s best R&B bands. This summer’s Grassy Strip show will showcase the talents of David “Lefty” Foster, Wolf Ginandes (All Star original), Cliff Goodwin (Joe Cocker Band), Mitch Chakour (Joe Cocker Band), Marty Richards (J. Geils Band), Curt Ramm (E. Street Band), Baron Raymond (Rod Stewart Band).
Quinn Sullivan Band
A rare artist who’s always sounded older than his years, Sullivan has been touring the world since he was 11-years-old, playing storied venues such as Madison Square Garden, the Hollywood Bowl and RFK Stadium in Washington D.C., as well as India’s Mahindra Blues Festival, Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival, and three Montreux Jazz Festivals. Quinn has shared the stage with his hero and mentor Buddy Guy, as well as Carlos Santana on several occasions. Quinn’s performance experience includes appearances on leading national television programs such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan, and The Oprah Winfrey Show, to name a few. “I want to stay true to where I come from, and go from there,” says Sullivan. “The artists that inspire me to do that are always hungry for the new. They never repeat themselves. They just grow and become more unique — and that’s what I aim to do as an artist.”
Jeff Pitchell and Texas Flood
Blues Hall of Fame award winning guitarist Jeff Pitchell’s style blends B.B. King and Duane Allman, which was endorsed by Gregg Allman. His diverse songwriting catalog recalls the variety of Eric Clapton’s classics and his vocal delivery, which ranges from smooth tenderness to Billy Gibbons ZZ Top-like power, received high praise from J. Geils. His songwriting award winning “An Eye for an Eye” was recorded by British blues legend John Mayall. Over the years Jeff Pitchell has shared the stage with J. Geils, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Jaimoe, B.B. King, and so many more.
Lee Ann Lovelace Band
Lee-Ann Lovelace is a singer/songwriter from Waterbury, CT who has performed on hundreds of stages throughout Nee England and beyond since 2004. She’ll charm you with hints of Jazz, dig into Folk and Americana stylings, and then leave you floored with powerful Soul, Rock, Pop and Blues vocals all in one performance. Lee-Ann has collaborated with the late, legendary producer Paul Leka and has opened for Orleans, Bruce Hornsby (with Back to The Garden 1969), Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famer Ronnie Spector, and most notably Christine Ohlman “The Beehive Queen,” – singing back-ups at the Rhythm and Roots Fest. Some notable performances have been at The Towne Crier in Beacon, NY, Daryl’s House in Pawling, NY, The Knickerbocker in RI, The Bijou Theater in Bridgeport, CT, Levitt Pavilion in Westport, CT, the Bushnell Park Stage in Hartford, CT.
Gold Dust Woman
Gold dust woman is the ultimate Stevie Nicks show, celebrating the legendary and beloved career of Stevie Nicks. Gold dust woman takes audiences into the 4 plus decades of the timeless solo career of rock & roll’s mystic poet and two-time rock & roll hall of fame inductee, along with the classic songs of Fleetwood mac.

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups.
The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

Dave Matthews Tribute Band
DMTB is a celebration of the music of the Dave Matthews Band. DMTB is a time machine to a funky tea party in the 90’s, a boisterous time of tape trading, sing-alongs, and exploration into a new sonic landscape spearheaded by complex guitar riffs, soaring violin melodies, smooth sax lines, and explorative-explosive drumming. Dedicated to recreating that moment in musical history, the DMTB has been honing their craft for over 20 years. The DMTB aims to transport the listener back in time. The band takes inspiration from the classic DMB sound, with immense respect for the original quintet. While including material from the bands later and current catalogs, the goal is to create a well rounded and authentic tribute.
Orleans
Platinum hit-maker ORLEANS is now celebrating 50+ YEARS of live performances! Praised and respected by their peers for their songwriting skills, instrumental prowess and classic trademark harmonies, their iconic radio hits, including “Still The One”, “Dance With Me” and “Love Takes Time,” still resonate with audiences of all ages thanks to continued airplay on Classic Rock radio, television, film and streaming services. Orleans has produced a body of work spanning 17 albums and several DVDs … and they continue to be in demand for live shows, as they have been now for 5 decades. Since its humble beginnings in Woodstock NY and throughout countless worldwide tours, the band has set some very high standards. Here in 2023 and beyond, Orleans continues to meet and exceed those standards at every show, to the delight of audiences everywhere.

Quinn’s performance experience includes appearances on leading national television programs such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan, and The Oprah Winfrey Show, to name a few. “I want to stay true to where I come from, and go from there,” says Sullivan. “The artists that inspire me to do that are always hungry for the new. They never repeat themselves. They just grow and become more unique — and that’s what I aim to do as an artist.”

CRYPTODIRA
Cryptodira seamlessly blends precise riffing, melancholic soundscapes, and raw, feedback-driven aggression.
Since their 2017 debut, The Devil’s Despair, Cryptodira has stood apart with intricate riffs, melancholic atmospheres, and unfiltered intensity. Their 2020 follow-up, The Angel of History, pushed boundaries further, embracing experimentation and exploring themes of historical oppression.
Extensive touring across the USA, Canada, and Europe/UK has seen them share stages with progressive heavyweights like Between the Buried and Me, Haken, Intervals, Rolo Tomassi, Veil of Maya, The Number Twelve Looks Like You, and Animals as Leaders.
With their upcoming release, founding members Scott Acquavella, Mike Monaco, and Matthew Taibi, along with new bassist Vincent Romanelli (Moon Tooth), begin a new chapter.
EN MASSE
Influenced by the alternative heavy music renaissance of the 2000’s, en | MASSE is a force beyond audible energy that displays a passionate ferocity while also blending in softer elements one could find in the shoegaze or alt rock side of the music spectrum. Founded in 2018, en | MASSE steadily went from local shows to touring along the east coast maintaining their DIY ethos while building a dedicated following of fans who appreciate the nostalgia of the 2000’s while eagerly ready to indulge in a new sonic experience.

en | MASSE are set to release their next sonic endeavor, the “newviolenttrends.” EP on June 20th 2025 via Fever LTD.
WARM
That which is jagged at its edge is beautiful, and that which is perfect may yet annihilate us.
And there may not be hope unless we forge it ourselves.
Unsurprising, then, that a crucible fed with fiery riffage dealt with exacting purpose and furious utterances of reflective awareness would yield the likes of Warm.
Informed by heavy metal’s swagger but defined by post-hardcore’s restraint,
Warm is a quartet of longtime friends hailing from the southern cradle of New England.
The dual guitar histrionics of Michael Taylor & K. Edward O’Connor are anchored by the calamitous thunder & gleam of Willow Emmerich’s bass and the ever-transient rhythmic constellations of Eric Holle.
Together they brandish all that is heavy, wielding the warring forces of profane incidence vs. inspired finesse.
CHASE ELODIA
Chase is a composer, drummer, and writer living in Brooklyn. His new album, Have Know Want, was released on May 10, 2024 on Biophilia Records.
His heroes include poets June Jordan and Victoria Chang, composers Joni Mitchell and Maurice Ravel, and drummers Billy Hart and Terri Lyne Carrington. A 2022 MacDowell Fellow in Composition, his work has been recognized by ASCAP, Avaloch Farm, the Boulder County Arts Alliance, the Café Royale Cultural Foundation, the Escape to Create Residency, and South Arts. His band has toured across the United States and given master classes at Oberlin Conservatory, the University of Denver, and Yale University. In 2022, he released his debut album, Portrait Imperfect, which was named one of the Best New Albums of the Year by Downbeat Magazine. A fervent advocate of cross-disciplinary collaboration and exploration, he debuted Walking in the City, a project with poets from across Brooklyn, at National Sawdust in June 2023.
He currently curates a vinyl listening series, “Dialogues,” with local musicians at Kissa Kissa in Crown Heights.

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups.
The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.
