Paddy Keenan is Pipin‘ Hot
Go Gaelic or go home this Saturday when Paddy Keenan takes the stage at the Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven. Mr. Keenan has been described as the Jimi Hendrix of the uillean pipes. John Coltrane also comes to mind. But both comparisons, impressive as they are, pale in light of his actual accomplishment. He was a founding member of the Bothy Band.
Sharks on Canvas
Paul McPhee’s first visit to the Vineyard was in 2005 for Jawsfest 2005 as a licensed artist with Universal Studios. A love affair with the Vineyard that began with the movie Jaws and was strengthened in 2005 has led the artist to make the Vineyard his home. Through the use of oils and watercolors as well as murals, Mr. McPhee embraces the sea and the life that inhabits it.

Runaway With Me, You Beauty
Ever wonder what Pleiades are? Nymphs of course, daughters of God’s strong man, Atlas, and mama nymph, Pleione. Beginning this weekend, and running until July 17, they’ll be helping everyone get in touch with their inner rock goddess at the new musical, Runaway Beauty Queen or The Lost Pleiad, at the Vineyard Playhouse on 24 Church street in Vineyard Haven.

Gallery owners are talented. Like the artists whose work they show, they hold their craft within and they can take it to new and different places. Carol Craven is one such talented gallery owner. For 15 years she has built a well-deserved reputation, thanks to her keen eye for landscapes, portraits and even cartoons. Her gallery has had three different locations, and the newest one is a perfect fit.
