It is with deep respect and heartfelt sorrow that we announce the transition into spirit of our long time beloved community member, Patricia McParland. Patricia passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday, March 17, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, wisdom, and unwavering kindness that has touched us all.
She believed in the importance of supporting one another and worked tirelessly to foster a sense of unity and compassion. Her kindness knew no bounds; she was always ready with a warm smile and a listening ear. Patricia's presence in our community was a source of inspiration and strength. She will remain with us forever.

We continue our series on July 11th with John Flynn, an American singer-songwriter and activist known for his powerful music and tireless efforts on behalf of the lost and the lonely, the shackled and scarred. His career has embodied an authentic troubadour odyssey that moved legendary folk DJ Gene Shay to call Flynn "the most quintessential folk singer in my life", and Deana McCloud, Executive Director of the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma to write, "John Flynn is the real deal.
His work follows in the footsteps of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Kris Kristofferson, and other social justice troubadours as he speaks the truth and gives a voice to society's disenfranchised. His work fills your heart and opens your eyes as he continues to walk the walk of a true advocate for equality, justice, and peace."

We continue our series on Aug 8 with Diana Jones, Since her 2006 breakthrough album, "My Remembrance of You", Diana Jones has been a major literary voice in contemporary song. “Songs come in a flurry of inspiration. I don’t understand it but I’m grateful.” But a journey of adoption and reunion as mysterious as her songwriting led to the gritty, authentic, Americana storytelling that has become her life’s work and her live show.
Within her first two years on the scene Jones gained critical acclaim, international radio play being championed by major radio legends. She played sold out concert venues, toured with Richard Thompson and Mary Gauthier, opened for Peggy Seeger and Nick Lowe, appeared on BBC4 Folk America with Seasick Steve, played the Cambridge Folk Festival Main Stage and was a guest on the Jools Holland Show. Joan Baez recorded “Henry Russell’s Last Words” on Day After Tomorrow, the Grammy-nominated 2008 album produced by Steve Earle.
