  • Historic Storms of Cape Cod with Don Wilding

    Chapel in the Pines and Zoom 220 Samoset Road, Eastham, MA

    Cape Cod has always been in the path of deadly hurricanes and ferocious storms. Unwelcome summer visitors include the “Long Island Express” Hurricane of 1938, the Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944, the twin Hurricanes Carol and Edna in 1954 and Hurricane Bob in 1991. These storms destroyed countless homes and left coastal communities under several feet of water.

    Surging tides carried away houses with residents inside who didn’t survive, and high seas sank the Coast Guard lightship Vineyard in Buzzards Bay, killing all twelve crew members. Fall and winter brought the benchmark Blizzard of 1978, the nor’easter of January 1987 and the infamous “Perfect Storm” of October 1991, which delivered some of the highest tides ever seen on the Outer Cape. In his latest book, “Historic Storms of Cape Cod”, local author Don Wilding revisits the Cape’s most severe weather events and their devastating impact.

  • Who Tells the Story: A Cape Cod Reburial

    Chapel in the Pines and Zoom 220 Samoset Road, Eastham, MA

    In spring of 1976 a skeleton that had been on display for many years in a local history museum was reburied. The ceremony was a collaboration between the Wellfleet Historical Society, the Wampanoag People, and the Cape Cod National Seashore. In attendance that day were members of all three organizations. What actually happened there, at that moment in history, depends upon who is asked!

    Storyteller Jim Wolf has tracked several versions of the story to present to you.

    “”Who Tells the Story”” is dedicated to the memory of the late Wamsutta, also known as Frank James, former Nauset Regional High School music teacher and catalyst of the indigenous people’s National Day of Mourning, now observed annually at Plymouth, MA. According to Jim, “Frank was an important mentor to me, and we had many discussions about the differences between oral and written traditions.”

  • First Encounter Coffeehouse: Catie Curtis

    For over 25 years, Catie toured full-time in the US and Europe, releasing 14 recordings and selling over 250,000 CDs (not to mention streaming and downloads). She has recorded for major (EMI Guardian) and independent (Rykodisc, Vanguard and Compass) labels, collaborating with some of the finest musicians and producers in the country. Before the pandemic, she continued to play shows for a legion of fans who shared stories with her at the merch table night after night. Her songs have been featured in films and tv shows, and she performed several times at the White House during the Obama administration. She’s intensely grateful for those years and honored to know that her music has been an integral part of so many people’s lives.
    Have you ever been to a show where you feel an invisible wall between you and the performer? Catie Curtis pulls the walls down.” – Mary Chapin Carpenter (Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter)
