Amelia Chandler loves The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow, a local five-piece collaboration performing Americana, rock and roots-folk music.
âI love that theyâre these hometown guys who have come together and collaborated with each other and told the story of their lives, but also the lives of people in this area who can connect to those stories,â she said.
Chandler, a Pittsfield resident, also loves live music in general.
âMusic is a lifeline for me,â she said. âI am not a musician, by any means, but music is a lifeline. I love to sing along and dance and, just the experience â itâs life. Itâs my breath. Itâs oxygen.â

WELLFLEET Last spring, acting student Tatianna Chavez arrived at the home of David Simpson and Kathy Fletcher to visit for a few days on her spring break from Boston University.
Chavez, a college senior, knew the couple as the founders of an arts organization in Wellfleet called All Our Kids. The arts organization aims to help young emerging artists succeed in life and meet their creative goals.
In 2019, Chavez had spent the summer on a retreat with the nonprofit, known as “AOK,” (pronounced A-Okay). The retreat was at Simpson and Fletcher’s Wellfleet home, not far from the center of town.
