Kiefer Sutherland with special guest Austin Plaine
2016-05-21 20:00 (America/New_York) | The Met, 1005 Main St. (Suite 1112), Pawtucket, RI, 02860, United States
Kiefer Sutherland has been a professional actor for over thirty years, starring in movies like ‘Stand By Me’, ‘The Lost Boys’, ‘Young Guns’, Flatliners’, ‘A Few Good Men’, ‘A Time to Kill’, ‘Dark City’, ‘Melancholia’ and most recently, a western called ‘Forsaken,’ as well as the TV series ‘24.’
But unknown to many during the course of his career, he has taken on other vocations with the same kind of dedication and commitment. The first one, beginning around 1992, was that of a cattle rancher and competitive cowboy (roper) in the USTRC team roping circuit. He ran a successful ranch with partner John English for almost a decade. During that timeframe, Sutherland won numerous roping events around the country including Phoenix, Indio and the Los Angeles Open.
In 2002, Sutherland, with his music partner and best friend Jude Cole, began a small record label called Ironworks. The goal of this label was to record local musicians and distribute their music at a time when the music industry was going through a monumental shift. Some of their artists included Rocco DeLuca and the Burden, HoneyHoney and Billy Boy On Poison. In 2009, Sutherland left the label to recharge and figure out what he was going to do next.
In early 2015 Sutherland played Cole two songs he had written and wanted to record as demos for other artists to record. Cole responded positively to the songs and the album grew organically from those recordings. Two songs became four and four grew into six, until Cole suggested that they make a record. Their collaboration resulted in Kiefer Sutherland’s upcoming debut album: ‘Down In A Hole’.
Sutherland says of the 11 tracks that make up the album, “It’s the closest thing I’ve ever had to a journal or diary. All of these songs are pulled from my own personal experiences. There is something very satisfying about being able to look back on my own life, good times and bad, and express those sentiments in music. As much as I have enjoyed the writing and recording process, I am experiencing great joy now being able to play these songs to a live audience, which was something I hadn’t counted on”.

Kevin Griffin from Better Than Ezra
2016-05-18 19:30 | The Met, 1005 Main St. (Suite 1112), Pawtucket, RI, 02860, United States
Known as the frontman of the alt-rock band Better Than Ezra, this prolific singer/songwriter has penned numerous hits for Train, Sugarland, James Blunt, Howie Day, Missy Higgins, Blondie, and more.
Ever since Better Than Ezra made it big with their double-platinum debut album Deluxe (1993) featuring the hit single “Good,” frontman Kevin Griffin has used his time in the spotlight to craft brilliantly catchy pop-rock gems.
New Orleans-based Better Than Ezra continued to cement their status as a defining band of the ’90s and beyond. Their follow-up album Friction Baby (1996) went gold, and singles “Extra Ordinary” and “Juicy” kept the band in radio rotation well into the 2000s.
When Better Than Ezra went on hiatus, Griffin focused his energies on songwriting, penning radio smashes like Sugarland’s “Stuck Like Glue” as well as songs for other high-profile artists including Train, James Blunt, and Joshua Radin.
Better Than Ezra returned in 2014 with the album All Together Now, which peaked at No. 7 on Billboard’s Top Modern Rock/Alternative Albums chart.
“Unlike many of their peers who faded into nonexistence…Better Than Ezra consistently kept exploring their sound, and eighth studio album All Together Now finds them at characteristic heights.”—AllMusic.com

The market quickly outgrew the performance space and in 2008 jumped just across the Providence / Pawtucket line to the south hall of Hope Artiste Village, where the Wintertime Market opened its third season in 2009 with over 50 farms and producers. In 2010, the market expanded to a second day: Wednesday evenings. In 2013, we expanded into both the 1005 and 99 hallways of Hope Artiste Village.

First Annual Level Exchange Music Festival
2016-01-30 09:00 - 13:00 | Hope Artiste Village, 1005 Main St., Pawtucket, RI, 02860, United States
The Level Exchange Music Festival will be held on Saturday, Jan. 30 at the Hope Artiste Village. A farmer’s market will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with music starting at 11 a.m. Tickets will be $5, available at the door.
Lindsey Lerner, a former Warwick resident and graduate of Bryant University last spring, has a steadfast admiration for the City of Providence and an undying determination to see it thrive, especially when it comes to the local entertainment scene.
“There are so many amazing, innovative things happening and transpiring in Providence,” she said.
Nowhere was Lerner’s determination more evident than the D.Y.D. (Do YOUR Dance) initiative she formed in collaboration with original hip-hop artist Phil “Phantom” Terry. D.Y.D. started out as a means to encourage people to discover their passion, pursue it, and share their story with others in an effort to get them to do the same, a message that was common in Phantom’s songs, but Lerner took things to another level when she transformed D.Y.D. into a vehicle aimed at connecting local musicians and entertainment establishments in an effort to mutually benefit one another while growing the live music scene.
