‘The magic that existed back then’: Academy of Music to screen time capsule film of New Year’s Eve 1984 concert at The Rusty Nail
By CAROLYN BROWN Staff Writer It’s been 40 years since the band NRBQ played at Sunderland’s The Rusty Nail on New Year’s Eve, but a devoted fan and friend of the band kept the night alive with his concert footage. Later this month, the Academy of Music will screen...
Monte Belmonte Wines: In pleasure or pain — champagne
Earlier this month, I quit my job — a job that I still very much loved — in an effort to bring myself into a better work/life balance. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. When I walked out of the office for the last time, I went home and opened a...
The V-Spot with Yana Tallon-Hicks: How do I transfer my solo orgasms to partnered sex?
Hi Yana, I have no problem with giving myself an orgasm with a vibrator on my clit, but I’ve never managed to orgasm with a partner. I’m OK with that — I’ve greatly enjoy partnered sex without orgasm, but I’d love to broaden my orgasmic horizons. Even bringing the...
A music empire goes dark: Musicians, club owners wonder what’s happened to Iron Horse Entertainment Group
When she looks back at how her band first found its footing, Nerissa Nields sees one club in particular at the center of that story: the Iron Horse Music Hall. From the time The Nields, the Valley folk-rock band, formed in the early 1990s, the Iron Horse became the...
Stagestruck: Putting Down My Pen
I filed my first article for the Advocate in May 1986. This one is my last. After some 2,000 reviews, previews and features, I’m giving up my ticket to the critic’s proverbial aisle seat and taking my place in line at the box office.
Stagestruck: Backstage Stars
Nikki Beck and Ezekiel Baskin are about the busiest theater people around. You’ll never see them onstage or on the title page of the program, but you’ll very often find one, or both, of them backstage or elsewhere behind the scenes at any number of local theater events.
Stagestruck: Christmas at the Darcys’
In this season of entertainments that cater to our appetite for cozy tradition, two shows this weekend – from Silverthorne Theater in the Valley and Shakespeare & Co. in the Berkshires – hit the nostalgia nerve from a different angle, adding a holiday-themed sequel to a classic love story.
Stagestruck: Wit and Wile on the Riviera
As winter approaches, National Theatre Live serves up a summertime tonic (as in, gin and). The live-capture of “Much Ado About Nothing,” Shakespeare’s comedy of wit and wile, screens twice this month at Amherst Cinema, the Valley’s indispensable film house.
Stagestruck: Riot Grrrls
Two shows I saw in London turn received history on its head. In the mini-musical “SIX” the half-dozen wives of Henry VIII sing their side of the story. And at the Globe, a distinctly non-Shakespearean play takes a non-binary look at Joan of Arc.
Stagestruck: Becomings
In the Valley this weekend and next, there’s a show in which a man becomes a woman, one in which a man becomes a feminist, and a few more that feature (mostly) women who promise to become hilarious.
Painting a Colorful Path: Common Wealth Murals Making a Difference
Britt Ruhe may not be an artist, but she has certainly splashed paint across the canvas of the Pioneer Valley. For more than three decades, the Granby woman has used her skillset of community organizing, project management and fiscal knowledge to lead nonprofit...

The V-Spot: I’m So Excited and…
Oftentimes the ways we relate to people we are romantically and/or sexually attracted to run along tracks that are deeply grooved in our minds, emotions, and bodies so it can be tough to change those patterns by just saying “Hey! Cut it out, self!”
