Singer/Songwriter/Author Terry Kitchen at the Roslindale Substation Saturday Sept 10
Award winning Roslindale folksinger, songwriter and author Terry Kitchen will be performing at the Roslindale Substation, 4228 Washington Street., Roslindale Square on Saturday September 10. He will be signing copies of his novel Next Big Thing at 12:30 PM and then performing from 1-3 PM. The concert is free and is the first event of the fall season of Saturdays at the Substation. Jack's Abby will be serving their craft lagers, and Rozzie Bound will be operating a pop-up bookstore. For more information visit thesubstation.space
Called "one of New England's best songwriters" by The Boston Globe, Terry Kitchen creates songs that are portraits of ordinary people and emotions, captured with extraordinary compassion, honesty and humor. He's been performing on folk stages since the 1990s, releasing a dozen albums filled with literate musical storytelling, supple guitar playing and distinctive, intimate vocals, and his songs have won the Mid-Atlantic and USA Song Contests and been runner-up in the John Lennon Song Contest. In the 1980s he was the leader of the groundbreaking Boston band Loose Ties, whose experiences he recounts in his novel Next Big Thing, called "a great debut novel" by The San Francisco Book Review.

MARC GOLDRING
One of the things I connect with deeply about taking pictures is that it causes me to look more — and more intently — at what’s in front of me. I have gotten into the habit of seeing sections of my world of a size suitable for framing. I often find myself seeing things that gain in importance as they are separated from their surroundings.
And what I look at is often what my eyes would ordinarily pass over – scenes of clutter or rust and rot, reflections that confuse up and down, the decay and compost of our urban and natural worlds, the bark of trees. To see balance and beauty in familiar scenes as well as debris, castoffs, and accidental comings-together, that has been an awakening for me.
Throughout this practice, my aim is to see clearly what is there but is not noticed, to extend my vision by framing the familiar, the lost, the hidden to make a unique visual moment. It is deep work and it continually surprises me, connects me to this marvelous world and to myself. I love this part of my life and invite you to join me by looking at (and seeing) my work and by nurturing your own creative practice.
