SUMMARY:The Mystic Disc 40th Anniversary Gig
DESCRIPTION:The store reached its 40th anniversary on 1 July 2023. To celebrate\, we are putting together a huge gig at Mystic River Park on Saturday 30 September 2023. \nThe event will feature a group of speakers discussing their time in the store\, including Telegraph Record Store owner Rich Martin and In Your Ear owner Mark Henderson\, as well as notable journalist Steven Slosberg doing an onstage interview with Disc owner Dan Curland and his original partner Wall Matthews. \nMusic of the evening will be courtesy of local duo Xenos\, performing their take on classic Greek folk music\, acclaimed country/folk artist James Maple\, and a reunited 17 Relics\, playing for the first time in twelve years just for this night. Closing out the night will be world famous DJ Brian Carter\, spinning his classic deep house mix. \nSaturday 30 September 2023 will find us celebrating the 40 th anniversary of local\ninstitution The Mystic Disc\, at the Mystic River Park in Downtown Mystic\, Connecticut.\nSpeakers and performers stretch the gamut from regional record store owners\, to\nrecognized personalities\, to musicians who owe much of their inspiration to what Dan\nCurland built at 10 Steamboat Wharf in Downtown Mystic. The Mystic & Noank Library\nis presenting the event. \nThe MC for our night is the Director of Admissions for Hampshire College in Amherst\,\nMassachusetts\, Dan Pearson. Mystic born and bred\, Dan witnessed the Disc\nbecome the centrifugal force of the Mystic music scene in the late 1980s and 1990s. \nThe Lineup:\nStephen Chupaska was one of the earliest crate diggers at The Disc\, which is a\nterm of endearment.\n“My thirst for trivia often overrules a search for real-world experiences” Guardian UK\nStephen’s wit will be evident in his presentation. \nRich Martin built an empire\, From Temporary Autonomous Zone\, to The Secret\nTheatre\, to The Hygienic Arts Center\, to The Telegraph Record Store\, while curating a\nmusic scene in New London\, along with former Disc employee Sean Murray\, that\ndefined and continues to define an era. \nWall Mathews is an accomplished composer\, writer\, guitarist\, pianist\, arranger\, as\nwell as being Dan’s original partner in opening The Mystic Disc. Wall will speak on his\nexperience opening the store\, and also perform an original musical composition\,\naccompanied by Dan Curland on Bass Guitar. \nSteven Slosberg\, the estimable\, erstwhile columnist for The New London Day and\nThe Westerly Sun\, will interview Dan Curland and Wall Matthews for a proper\ndiscussion of the shop\, and it’s achievements over four decades. \nXenos is an experimental folk group that merges the traditional songs and modern\nsounds of the Greek island of Crete. Psychedelic\, rock interpretations of Cretan folk\nmusic\, while honoring the rich musical heritage of the island\, Xenos add their own\nartistic sensibilities to create a new landscape. \nMark Henderson is the founder and owner of the In Your Ear chain of record stores.\nHe started their eventual climb to several Boston area stores by selling records\, as the\nIrish would say\, from the “boot of his car” along the streets of the Cambridge college\ncampuses. Mark and Dan have been long time friends\, and surprisingly\, have\nmaintained a civility between Mark’s Red Sox rooting interest and Dan’s long time love\nof the Bronx Bombers. \nJames Maple is a truly unique individual\, helming The Lamplighter Trading Post\nCompany shop in Downtown Mystic\, while simultaneously making his own music and\nbacking many other musicians across several styles. He will perform an original song as\nwell as giving his spirited take on what The Disc meant to him as a kid growing up in\nMystic. \nDan Curland\, Disc owner\, will give his version of the Max Yasgur “I’m just a\nFarmer…” speech from Woodstock\, to say his thanks to the people over 40 years. \n17 Relics were one of the more acclaimed bands during the height of the Mystic\nmusic scene during the 1990s. College Music Journal wrote about the band in 1992:\n“Maybe it’s the dreamy quality of the small town life\, or maybe it’s something in the\nwater in the town of Mystic\, Connecticut that makes 17 Relics sound the way they do.\nThe truth is\, you could slide your finger all the way down this year’s CMJ Top 150\nbands\, and you wouldn’t find a single band you could peg as an influence on 17 Relics.\nThey are mysterious\, effulgent\, literate\, and melodically sturdy.” \nThey are reforming for Disc40\, performing for the first time in 12 years. \nBrian Carter is a world renowned DJ who is also a long-time friend of The Disc and\nDan. Brian will be closing out the night with a set of his trademark\, one of a kind\, Deep\nHouse mixes.

SUMMARY:Gris-Gris Gumbo: Reads & Eats with Rick Koster
DESCRIPTION:Join us to welcome Rick Koster for a discussion of his latest horror novel Gris-Gris Gumbo (JournalStone Publishing) as well as three earlier books. Gumbo will be provided by Bayou BBQ & Grill in New London for the audience to enjoy. Rick Koster is a longtime arts writer/columnist at The Day. He’s the author of the just-out horror novel GRIS-GRIS GUMBO (JournalStone Publishing) as well as three earlier books — all of which have performed in such a fashion as to position Rick as one of America’s worst-selling authors. Fun to know: GRIS-GRIS GUMBO was written over 20 years ago and Rick had long since given up on it ever being published. Sometimes\, ya just need a little bad luck charm. \n“GRIS-GRIS GUMBO is a literary grimoire full of skin-crawling incantations. Well after I closed this tome\, I still hear its pages whispering. Whatever dark arts Rick Koster is dabbling in here\, he certainly cast a spell over me.” – Clay McLeod Chapman\, author of Ghost Eaters and Whisper Down the Lane. \nSynopsis\nGreen Hopkins is amused when his best friend\, Crayton Breaux\, gets a gig in a tourist voodoo shop. But when Cray accidentally interrupts a sinister ceremony in a mortuary\, odd things start to happen. Green consults the elderly New Orleans R&B pianist Papa Hipolyte\, who has a familiarity with the city’s substantial voodoo culture. Unbeknownst to Green\, though\, Papa is hiding a secret related to a dark voodoo sect and a famous restaurant called Gris-Gris Gumbo. And\, unknown to either of them\, Crayton is being slowly seduced by the cult and the restaurant’s mysterious proprietor\, Maman Arielle. As Cray grows more distant and odd deaths begin to disrupt the French Quarter\, Green and Papa consider desperate measures to save him — including sources from beyond the grave.
