SUMMARY:Club 321: Featuring Splendid Torch

Lily Sexton (lead vocals\, fiddle\, guitar)\, Sean Davis (acoustic & electric guitar\, vocals)\, and Josh Ballard (bass)\, were once known as progressive bluegrass group Mamma’s Marmalade\, which toured for ten years. After a lineup and genre shift in 2024\, the three departed– along with Karl Helander (drums and percussion)– on a lengthy west coast tour which served to crystallize their Americana\, country\, and indie styles into what is now Splendid Torch. Splendid Torch calls on textured & curious lyricism\, collective rhythmic feel\, & poignant vocal performances that evoke their varied influences\, from Emmylou Harris and Tammy Wynette to Kurt Vile and The Band. Their debut album ICON was released on May 9th\, 2025. Learn More About Splendid Torch \n \n \nsplendidtorchband.com \n\nExperience a different side of Mechanics Hall\, in our warm and intimate Washburn Hall\, transformed one Thursday night a month into your favorite club.

SUMMARY:Frederick: Cantata on the Life of Frederick Douglass
DESCRIPTION:Join The Worcester Chorus plus instrumentalists and soloists from Greater Worcester for this world premiere of the late Brian Story’s work. Inspired by Nkeiru Okoye’s song cycle “Songs of Harriet Tubman”\, Story’s work uses speeches\, newspaper articles\, and sections from Douglass’ autobiography to portray Douglass’ life story. \n“In his journey from enslaved young man to internationally renowned activist\, Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) has been a source of inspiration and hope for millions. His brilliant words and brave actions continue to shape the ways that we think about race\, democracy\, and the meaning of freedom. \nHe became the most important leader of the movement for African American civil rights in the 19th century. After escaping from slavery in Maryland\, Douglass became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York\, during which he gained fame for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings. He wrote three autobiographies\, describing his experiences as an enslaved person in his first\, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass\, an American Slave (1845)\, which became a bestseller and was influential in promoting the cause of abolition. \nHe also actively supported women’s suffrage\, and he held several public offices. Without his knowledge or consent\, he became the first African American nominated for vice president of the United States\, as the running mate of Victoria Woodhull on the Equal Rights Party ticket. He believed in dialogue and in making alliances across racial and ideological divides. Frederick Douglass is the Father of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.” (From the National Parks Service) \nBuy Tickets

SUMMARY:2026 Isaiah Thomas Award for Distinguished Community Service
DESCRIPTION:The Isaiah Thomas Award is given in recognition of Distinguished Community Service in Worcester\, Massachusetts.\nHISTORY\nIn every community there are loyal men and women who unselfishly devote their time and energies to the benefit of others. They do this without expecting reward or acknowledgment\, only hoping that their efforts may help to build a better community with greater opportunities for all citizens. Such personal sacrifices and accomplishments merit sincere recognition. This recognition takes tangible form in the presentation of the Isaiah Thomas Award. \nAmong the pages of Worcester history\, one name\, more than any other\, stands out as best exemplifying community spirit – the name of Isaiah Thomas. He was a man of many accomplishments\, who was a printer\, publisher\, businessman and philanthropist. He did much to promote the betterment of Worcester in its early days. It is appropriate therefore\, that his name should be selected as the inspiration for this Award. \nA replica of Isaiah Thomas’ printing press\, the means he used to enrich the lives of his fellow citizens\, was chosen as a physical memento of the award. The true significance of the award lies\, however\, in the recognition and appreciation by all fellow citizens of the recipient’s “distinguished community service. \n\nCocktail Hour: 6:00PM\nProgram & Dinner: 7:00PM \n\n\nFor Sponsorships\, please reach out to wrrb@wrrb.org\n\nSponsor\n\n\n \nAccessible Entrance\nThe barrier-free entrance to the Hall is located on Waldo Street.

SUMMARY:Club 321: Featuring House of Hamill
DESCRIPTION:Artist: House of Hamill \nPennsylvania-based trio House of Hamill brings high-octane energy and genre-bending celtic folk to every stage they grace. With soaring harmonies\, fiery fiddle tunes\, and award-winning original songwriting\, they create exhilarating performances. From reimagined rock classics to original reels and ballads\, their intricate arrangements and tight harmonies reflect a fresh take on Celtic folk. Come on out for a night of toe-tapping\, spirited fun! \n\nHouse of Hamill owes its existence – almost entirely – to a series of cancelled flights. Rose Baldino and Brian Buchanan first found themselves onstage together at the 2014 Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City. Rose’s band Burning Bridget Cleary was scheduled to perform\, but inclement weather prevented two of her bandmates from flying. Desperate to salvage the showcase\, Rose approached Brian\, who she knew fronted Canadian celtic rock band Enter the Haggis. She thrust a guitar into Brian’s hands\, pulled him onstage\, and the two just clicked. Four years and hundreds of shows later\, the duo was booked to play a closing slot at a Colorado festival\, so they hired a bass player and drummer to fill out their sound. By the oddest of coincidences\, their hired bandmates’ flights were canceled the day of the show. A frantic Facebook post introduced Brian and Rose to local musician Caroline Browning\, who joined them on bass for the weekend. Once again\, the chemistry was undeniable\, and House of Hamill became a trio. \nShow MoreToday\, Pennsylvania-based House of Hamill is a fixture on festival stages across the US\, and have shared their music and stories on the country’s premier folk stages. Their version of “Pound a Week Rise” rose to #1 on the US Folk DJ charts\, and the video for their all-violin cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” amassed over 16 million views on Facebook\, where it was shared over 400\,000 times. Their latest release\, “Folk Hero\,” captures perfectly the frenetic energy and eclecticism of their always engaging live show. A lively collection of original instrumentals\, reimagined folk ballads\, and new songs that showcase the trio’s versatility\, “Folk Hero” is the third House of Hamill album to be funded entirely by their fans. Whether they’re ripping through a set of original jigs and reels\, adding lush three-part harmonies into traditional folk ballads\, or cracking up an audience with stories from the road\, House of Hamill puts on a show that captivates audiences from the very first note. Learn More About House of Hamil \n \n \nhouseofhamil.com \n\nExperience a different side of Mechanics Hall\, in our warm and intimate Washburn Hall\, transformed one Thursday night a month into your favorite club.
