SUMMARY:Bawdy Musical Mischief When the Harlot Queens Return to Westford
DESCRIPTION:“When it comes to bawdy mischief\, few do it better than The Harlot Queens. Excellent musicianship combined with songs you wouldn’t want your grandmother to hear. What’s not to love?” says U.K. Writer & Broadcaster Steven Rainey. And Westford audiences know it!

They are composed of several trained Renaissance Faire performers playing colorful characters with nefarious backstories and they perform throughout New England at faires and festivals. Their musical offerings consist of original tunes\, comedic parodies\, traditional Irish/Scottish songs\, and “nerd culture” favorites. Members of the group come from a variety of backgrounds including an award winning country music artist\, an opera singer\, musical theatre actors\, fight choreographers\, voice over artists\, instrumentalists\, and improv actors. \nThe Harlot Queens are recipients of the Pay It Forward Grant through CitySpace in Easthampton\, and they were awarded Best EP of 2023 by nationally known Scoundrel’s Inn\, a pirate themed podcast and internet radio show.

SUMMARY:Ethan Robbins & Ariel Bernstein Offer Genre-bending Americana with Cold Chocolate
DESCRIPTION:WESTFORD\, MA: Cold Chocolate is a genre-bending Americana band that fuses folk\, funk and bluegrass to create a unique sound all their own\, and they’re stopping by to the Parish Center for the Arts on December 12 at 7:30pm. Bring your snacks and beverages for this evening of jazz music and more. Tickets range from $20-$25. Cabaret seating. For information about this and all upcoming concerts at the PCA\, call (978) 692-6333 or visit pcawestford.org.\nLed by Ethan Robbins (vocals/guitar/mandolin) and Ariel Bernstein (vocals/percussion/banjo)\, the Boston-based duo released their fifth full-length album in the Fall of 2023. “We’re growing as a band\, and I think that shows in our songwriting\,” says Robbins. “This album was a leaping off point for many more new albums to come\, and that’s an exciting prospect\,” adds Bernstein. Cold Chocolate is currently on tour supporting their latest album\, “Now That’s What I Call Cold Chocolate\, vol. 1.” \nPunctuated by tight harmonies and skillful musicianship\, Cold Chocolate has quickly gained recognition for their original music and high-energy shows. The band has shared bills with Leftover Salmon\, David Grisman\, and Angelique Kidjo\, and regularly performs at venues and music festivals across the country. Jason Verlinde of The Fretboard Journal who covered the band’s FreshGrass Festival set noted “there were plenty of magical moments… I will never forget [watching] Cold Chocolate perform.” Kathy Sands-Boehmer of No Depression raved\, “[Ethan] feels the music in his heart and soul and it shows when he plays. Ethan becomes the music on stage. There’s an almost mystical connection between his guitar and the notes that flow out of it.”\nAs for the band’s intriguing name and the story behind it\, “it came from a childhood memory of mine\,” says Robbins. “When my brothers and I used to visit my Grandfather in Wilkes Barre (PA)\, the whole drive there from DC we’d be in the backseat talking about the frozen Milky Way bars that awaited us in his freezer. I still remember pulling into his driveway after a six-hour drive. He’d come out to meet us–arms wide open for a hug–and the three of us would shoot right past him\, headed straight for the freezer\, where awaited us the King Size Milky Way Bars. So\, in some ways\, I dedicate the band name to my Grandfather’s memory.” \nThe PCA Coffeehouse Series is generously sponsored by Rockland Trust.

SUMMARY:12/20/25: "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Family Jazz Concert
DESCRIPTION:The PCA’s annual tradition continues this year with the return of music from a holiday classic\, presented by the very talented Aidan Scrimgeour and friends!

After spending a couple years at New England Conservatory\, he graduated with a B.A. in Performance & Representation from Tufts University.

His other projects include Pumpkin Bread\, a Boston-based acoustic band\, and Lissy & the Jacks\, a Brooklyn-based honky-tonk group. Aidan performs regularly with a variety of groups in New York and co-leads the Multigenerational Playing for the Light Big Band\, a large ensemble that performs original music and poetry composed by Brooklyn teens.

SUMMARY:Cormac McCarthy (PCA Coffeehouse)
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in rural New England since the age of ten\, McCarthy grew up in towns where the economies teetered on marginal subsistence from logging and paper and woolen mills. It wasn’t until his sister made a visit home from college\, bringing an armful of recordings by Dylan\, Baez\, and Eric Anderson\, that things clicked musically for McCarthy: he traded his clarinet for a Western Auto guitar\, purchasing the Black Diamond strings across the street at the barber shop. Through his music Cormac has succeeded in bringing lyrical magic to some of these rougher edges of life.Cormac has performed nationally on many stages including three times at the Newport Folk Festival\, twice on NPR’s Mountain Stage Live Radio Show\, Boston’s WUMB Folk Radio 10th anniversary celebration\, headlined at the Night of Humor and Songwriters and American Troubadours with Eric Andersen and Townes Van Zandt at Boston’s Somerville Theater\, Ben & Jerry’s One World\, One Heart Festival\, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and more.Cabaret Seating.

SUMMARY:The Hosmer Mountain Boys
DESCRIPTION:The Hosmer Mountain Boys are a retro bluegrass band that is quickly rising in the New England Bluegrass scene and having a lot of fun in the process. They were voted the “Fan Favorite” at the 2023 Podunk Bluegrass Festival\, performed in Lexington (KY) on WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour\, and crossed the pond for the 2024 Battlefield Bluegrass Festival in England. Keegan (guitar) and Simon (banjo) met at Mando Camp North in 2018 at age 16 and instantly connected over their passion for Flatt & Scruggs. Red Day\, (mandolin) has recently been added to the band this season. Cathy Bumgarner Day (fiddle) and Tom Bowman (bass) complete the lineup with decades of regional bluegrass experience. Simon (banjo) has been described by some attendees at the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival in Brunswick\, ME\, as Connecticut’s best‑kept secret. You’ll hear that Keegan’s major guitar‑picking influences include Riley Pucket\, Don Reno\, and the thumb‑picking style of Lester Flatt. Rounding out the band is Cathy Bumgarner Day on fiddle and Tom Bowman on bass\, both staples in the New England Bluegrass Music scene for decades. \nCabaret Seating.
