Tuesday, December 31, 2024 Happy New Year! You’re invited to attend First Night—Northampton’s most beloved signature event. Since 1985, First Night Northampton has filled Paradise City with a 12-hour, family-friendly festival of the arts, culminating in a traditional ball-raising from the roof of the Hotel Northampton. Gather with friends, neighbors, and visitors at over 20 terrific downtown venues for an astounding array of entertainment presented by hundreds of talented performers.
MASALA is a terminology used in South Asian cuisine to mostly describe a Mixture of wonderful Spices. Not unlike the mixture of the many spices in Indian cooking, Masala, a Leverett based jazz group, is a mixture of many musicians and a fusion of musical expressions with a foundation in jazz and blues. At a recent performance at the Black Sheep Café in Amherst, you might have heard Masala's rendition of Miles Davis' All Blue followed Glen Campbell's Wichita Linemen.
