SUMMARY:"Artful Inspirations\," Art by Blue Hill Area Teachers
DESCRIPTION:When school teachers hang art at the Blue Hill Public Library\, it is typically their students’ art for the April Student Art Show. This time\, for the month of October\, the library will host an exhibition\, “Artful Inspirations\,” featuring work by Blue Hill art teachers\, including Margret Baldwin\, Harbor School\, retired; Kristy Cunnane\, Bay School; Danyel Ferarri\, George Stevens Academy\, Katama Murray\, Harbor School\, Penny Ricker\, Blue Hill Consolidated School\, retired; and Melissa Rioux\, George Stevens Academy. \nThe show will serve as inspiration for the library’s second tape art installation where students from peninsula area schools will visit the library for a workshop with artists Michael Townsend and Leah Smith on Thursday\, October 1\, and will learn how to make unique art out of masking tape. Participants will create this remarkable\, temporary art directly on the walls of the library in response to their teacher’s artwork\, creating a one of a kind mural. \nThe show will be available for viewing starting October 2\, subject to the Howard Room meeting schedule. The Tape Art portion of the show is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Library. For more information contact the library at 374-5515.

SUMMARY:Casey Neill at Barncastle in Blue Hill - WERU Benefit Concert
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a benefit concert for WERU by critically acclaimed indie singer-songwriter and folk musician Casey Neill\, at Barncastle in Blue Hill\, on Friday October 2\, 2026! Thanks to Casey for once again lending his considerable musical talents to raising funds for WERU. Come on out to see and hear a great artist in an intimate setting\, and for a great cause! And thanks to Barncastle for partnering with us again! \nDoors open at 6:30pm to access the bar and seating\, and the show begins at 7:00pm. Tickets $20 in advance (plus fee)\, $25 at the door. Purchase your tickets ahead here! \nCasey Neill is a songwriter from Portland\, Oregon performing high energy indie folk\, infused with haunting melodies and weather beaten narratives. A prolific road warrior since the late 90s\, Neill tours throughout the USA\, Japan\, and Europe\, performing at venues such as Town Hall in New York\, San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall\, and the Newport Folk Festival. Two new albums of his songs are out in 2023 – one by his band Casey Neill & The Norway Rats (Sending Up Flares) and a solo CD of acoustic songs titled time zero land. A self-produced collection of bedroom recordings\, time zero land leans into the American folk and traditional Scots/Irish influences that have often underscored his songwriting craft and guitar work. The songs on Sending Up Flares and time zero land offer a lifeline to a world in need of balance\, shot through with stories about resolve\, resilience\, and wonder. \nCritic Marco Rivera described it best for music blog Splendid: “Be it through raucous rockers\, fragile acoustic ballads\, soulful touches of Irish folk\, Neill’s narrative talent and concern for real people’s struggles stand out. The results are so evocative\, you’ll be tempted to steep further in these memories\, the better to share Casey Neill’s particular blend of personal and historical experience.” \nIn 1997 Casey Neill began a run of three songwriter albums for acoustic label Appleseed Recordings as well as contributing tracks to their Pete Seeger Tribute along with Bruce Springsteen\, Billy Bragg\, and Bonnie Raitt. A compilation of his material entitled Memory Against Forgetting was released by Indigo Girl Amy Ray’s Daemon imprint in 2005. Following a few years treading the boards in New York City\, Neill moved back to the thriving music community in Portland\, Oregon. In 2007\, a far more electric record Brooklyn Bridge was released and The Norway Rats were formed to support it with members of The Decemberists and Eels. Neill is a frequent member of power pop band The Minus 5 along with Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck of R.E.M. Casey Neill & The Norway Rats recorded three records across the 2010’s – the dreamy Americana of Goodbye to the Rank and File the art rock collection All You Pretty Vandals and the electro-folk and pop explorations of Subterrene. It’s been five years since their last album and Sending Up Flares is the sound of a band rallying together\, turning the genre-bending range of its influences into the group’s most cohesive\, cathartic album yet. \n“(Neill’s) songs mask their complexities beneath a simple\, singalong-worthy surface… these swimming waters have serious depth.” – Rolling Stone \n“These are songs with stories well told” – Steve Earle \nLearn more at www.caseyneill.com
