Coleman, who grew up in East Rochester and lived for much of his 95 years in Summerville, was a legendary sailor on Lake Ontario. But throughout his long life, he was haunted by nightmares of the 22-minute World War II battle in which the Japanese navy sank four big cruisers, three American, one Australian.

Sirsy is a rock, pop, and soul duo with just the right amount of sass! The Boston Globe calls them "the little band with the big sound". Charismatic lead singer, Melanie, is also the band's drummer. Melanie even plays bass on a keyboard with her drum stick and throws in some mean flute solos, too. Rich plays a road worn and well loved Rickenbacker guitar through a pedal board full of vintage effects. He also pays bass with his feet and tells super nerdy Star Wars jokes. Sirsy is known for passionate performances that often include lots of stories from the road, laughs, and dance parties.

Decade of Fire screening
2019-09-27 18:30 - 19:46 | Little Theatre, 240 East Ave. #100, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
The Little will screen Decade of Fire (Gretchen Hildebran, Vivian Vazquez, U.S. 2019, 76 min.) followed by a discussion with Vivian Vazquez as part of the The Black Cinema Series.
Throughout the 1970's, fires consumed the South Bronx. Black and Puerto Rican residents were blamed for the devastation even as they battled daily to save their neighborhoods. In Decade Of Fire, Bronx-born Vivian Vázquez Irizarry pursues the truth surrounding the fires — uncovering policies of racism and neglect that still shape our cities, and offering hope to communities on the brink today.
Through a rich seam of archival and home movie footage, Decade Of Fire confronts the racially-charged stereotypes that dehumanized residents of the South Bronx in the 1970's, and rationalized their abandonment by city, state and federal governments. Vázquez Irizarry, in her role as the film's central character and co-director seeks not only healing for her community, but to redeem them from the harmful mythology spread by the media that has continued largely unchallenged to this day. She tells the story of a people who held on, worked to save their community and start anew against impossible odds. The accounts she gathers are supported by extensive research, archival footage, print and broadcast news excerpts, testimonials from retired Fdny firefighters and brass, as well as Bronx historians.

Amy McCarley musical performance
2019-09-26 21:00 - 23:00 | Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way, Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
With poignant and thought provoking lyrics, Amy McCarley finds balance in a new perspective with MECO, her 3rd studio album released February 8, 2019. After collaborating in writing new songs with Bluebird Cafe round-mate and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer, Pat Alger, McCarley returned to the studio with esteemed colleagues, co-producers Kenny Vaughan & George Bradfute to work on MECO, her highly anticipated follow up to 2014's Jet Engines. MECO was recorded and mixed by Bradfute in his Tone Chaparral Studios in Madison, Tennessee and mastered by Jim DeMain at Yes Master Studios in Nashville. A rhythm section all in himself, multi-instrumentalist Chris Scruggs lent his talents not only on drums, percussion, and bass, but also steel guitar. Alongside esteemed guests Marty Stuart, Pat Alger, Kenny Lovelace, and Harry Stinson — the future is bright for fans of Amy McCarley. Uniquely relatable, this northern Alabama native's music is embraced by Americana fans across the country and abroad. Vaughan says, "I think all of her songs come from a personal experience. Each song is about something she's gone through, which is good because it gives her a little edge on the delivery. The emotional content kinda comes through in there." MECO, an acronym borrowed from the Space Shuttle program that stands for Main Engine Cut Off, occurred for the shuttle when onboard propulsion systems were disengaged at an altitude where velocity could be maintained by the power of an innate force at work in the universe with periodic adjustments from the vehicle. The album traces McCarley's experience of what it's been like leaving life as a NASA contractor to pursue a career in music. McCarley explains the inspiration behind the album, "Similar to shuttle missions, the trajectory of my path has been defined by how well I have been able to develop personal strength as an artist to the point where the possibility of connecting with the enormous collaborative power of other worldly talent exists. It has taken everything I have plus the guiding unseen hands of time and chance together with support from some incredibly talented generous souls in order for this album to be made and on its way to listeners."
