Come share your talents, or just come to socialize and enjoy performances from this growing creative community! All abilities and levels of experience are welcome at this inclusive event.
Each month has a featured artist and new theme. Many people enjoy the challenge of choosing performance material related to the theme, and some may even dress up to match the theme! Both are welcome, but not required.
Admission is free (suggested donation $5). Concessions available for purchase.
October's Theme: Wizard of Appl-oz
Click your heels and follow the yellow brick road to this inclusive night of musicians, poets, and other performers in a safe, encouraging environment. Take Down the Wall first began in Worcester 10 years ago. Cheers to "Tin" years!
Featured Artist: Nat Needle & Chuck Demers
Nat Needle has lived in Worcester since 2000, performing as a pianist and vocalist at various music venues and out in the community. Since 2013, he has taught piano independently to students ages 5 to Seniors. In 2014, as a consultant for Alternatives (later Open Sky), he organized Take Down The Wall in Worcester to bring people with and without disabilities together to share their performances. Regular participants were an encouraging audience for one another, eventually marking the start of many new relationships. Nat is thrilled to rejoin Take Down the Wall as a feature with his musical partner, Chuck Demers, to commemorate the beginning of this meaningful initiative ten years ago.
Check Demers is from Spencer and is part of the country-folk and jazz duo, Chuck & Mud. They are often joined by the Hole in the Dam Band and recently performed at ValleyCAST's Free Summer Concerts at the Whitin Mill.
