Two regional arts organizations are teaming up to present a live-streamed concert featuring Grace Morrison and Marc Douglas Berardo at 7 p.m. Jan. 30.
The Rose Garden Coffeehouse, a folk venue that has been in continuous operation since 1989, and the Mass Music and Arts Society, a cultural home for artists, audiences and aspiring performers since 1993, have joined forces to help keep the arts alive during the pandemic.
“We thought this would be a great way to help keep the arts going in the area, given that most live performances were stopped due to the pandemic,” said Stephen Ide, the Rose Garden’s artistic director. A portion of the proceeds from the show will help both nonprofits.

Yet Tiny – as he was known to an amazing array of people also lived life to the fullest right up to his death in 1994 after years of battling diabetes and its complications. And while that meant immersing himself in Buddhist meditation with the Dalai Lama and other teachers in his later years, it also meant drug and alcohol abuse earlier in life.
