And in that time Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work, a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: 100+ gigs a year for five decades running, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that's just at the live shows. In between they've recorded 17 studio albums, 7 live LPs, 3 compilations, 2 EPs, 2 DVDs, and contributed 40+ guest appearances on their friends' recordings — all garnering 5 Grammys, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction, the ALMA Richie Valens Pioneer Award, NEA and Hispanic Heritage Foundation Honors, Congressional recognitions, plus countless "Keys to the City" and "Los Lobos Day" celebrations. Quite simply, they are one of the tightest, one of the best, one of the most prolific bands ever. And, amazingly, with the original founding members as the pack the entire time. Unprecedented. As their liner notes put it, quite simply: "Los Lobos still are David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Jr., Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, Steve Berlin."

P.A.L. Police Athletic League of Fall River 31 Franklin St, Fall River, Massachusetts

In the spirit of the great Portuguese festas, FABRIC brings you our own interpretation. The P.A.L. in Fall River will come alive for one night to celebrate the best way we know how: with community, music, food and tasty drinks! Join us as we welcome Portugal's Pedro Mafama. Born in Lisbon, Mafama has become a central figure in the contemporary Portuguese aesthetic of 'Novos Fados:' a genre of pop music that emphasizes Portuguese dance, marches and rumbas. To open the evening we will have Portugal's Reina del Mar play a dj set and the evening will close out with an after party from Providence's own, Where's Nasty! Food trucks will be situated outside of P.A.L. where guests are welcome to enjoy food and bring it inside. BĀS cocktails will be taking over the bar with Portuguese and Cape Verdean inspired libations. A note about tickets: In the interest of being as inclusive as possible, FABRIC is offering a pay-what-you-can tier model to create accessibility for all who wish to attend!

Charlie Ballantine Trio featuring Dan Weiss

Narrows Center for the Arts 16 Anawan St., Fall River, MA

Friday, October 11, 2024 $33 Advance | $36 Day of Show Doors 7pm | Show 8pm Named as one of the top 200 living guitarists by All About Jazz Magazine, Charlie Ballantine is acclaimed as one of the finest and most versatile young guitarists on the scene today. JAZZ TIMES MAGAZINE hails his playing as “teeming with intricate grooves and maniacal precision his guitar work is both beautiful and complex” and VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE described his style by stating “Jazz, rock, and folk music peacefully coexist in Charlie Ballantine’s world”. Equipped with an impressive body of original compositions on albums like “Vonnegut” and “Cold Coffee”, Ballantine also displays a great reverence for the jazz tradition through the inclusion of standards like ‘My One and Only Love’, ‘East of the Sun’ and an entire double album dedicated to the music of Thelonious Monk released September 2021. “In the vein of fellow guitarists like John Scofield, Bill Frisell and Julian Lage, Ballantine reconciles his educational background in jazz with the stylistic background of his instrument. He approaches the gratifying tonal and harmonic language of rock/roots with the groove, ambition and improvisational focus of a jazz musician” - (JAZZIZ MAGAZINE)

P.A.L. Police Athletic League of Fall River 31 Franklin St, Fall River, Massachusetts

Fabric Arts Festival is a celebration of art, music, community, and the city of Fall River, Massachusetts. It aims to be a platform for artistic creation through a multidisciplinary program that seeks to create a cultural and communal experience.  Portuguese festas (festivals) are vibrant celebrations that bring together communities around shared rituals and traditions involving food, music, and all sorts of devotions. They are simultaneously communal, cultural, religious, and profane. There are “Festas” all over the world, each reflecting the unique culture, traditions, and heritage of their respective regions. Fabric is hosting its own festa, expanding to multiple communities, and transforming the P.A.L. into a collective kitchen and food court with a dance floor in its center. Pedro Mafama would steer the party with his pimba (pop) hits, which reinterpret Portuguese aesthetics while, at the same time, paying attention to and acknowledging African and Islamic influences. Portuguese artist Reina Del Mar will open the dancefloor and the party will continue with Cape Verdean-American creative director & DJ from Providence, Where's Nasty.

Her sound simply never stands still, she’s pushing limits, bending genres, and reinventing her music and herself with each new record. “It’s really hard to believe that twenty years ago, I gave up a career in graphic design, formed the Ana Popovic band, and decided to be a full-time musician. Soon after, I traveled to Memphis to record HUSH!, my first solo release,” says the hard-touring guitar slinger speaking from her home in Los Angeles. “I had big dreams back then and I still dream big today.”
