Virtuoso Guitarist Plays Dive Bar

Jersey Shore-based musician Pat Guadagno will perform two shows on Friday and Saturday, June 5 and 6 at the Dive Bar on Circuit avenue in Oak Bluffs, located between the Ritz and the Lampost. The club, formerly known as the Rare Duck, has been a tour stop for Guadagno for over 15 years. “I stopped in this little club and met John Cruz, we played together, and I have been coming back every year since,” he says.

What do food, fashion and fine wine have in common? Surprisingly, the Yard, the Island’s choreography and performing arts center in Chilmark. Connecting the dots requires going to the other end of the Island. First, across from the Black Dog Tavern in Vineyard Haven, where fashion designer Stina Sayre keeps shop. Then to Oak Bluffs, at the Sweet Life Café, where husband-and-wife owners Pierre and Susan Guerin will be hosting a dinner and fashion show benefit on Wednesday, June 10.

Energetic dancers of all ages lit up the stage on Sunday evening for the 14th annual Kaleidoscope Dance spring concert, the first to be held at the Performing Arts Center at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. Kaleidoscope Dance, under the direction of extraordinary choreographer Laura Sargent Hall, displayed a wide variety of dance, ranging from exquisite ballet pieces to eclectic gymnastics-inspired sequences. All came under the theme of the recital: School Days.
