Michael Shea, guitarist and singer-songwriter, will perform an acoustic concert tracing the evolution of the American singer-songwriter from 1952 to the present, highlighting this uniquely self-contained performer who emerged from the folk revival of the 1960s. His set will feature songs by iconic artists like Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Leonard Cohen, as well as lesser-known voices, interwoven with biographical insights and anecdotes. Emphasizing lyrical poetry, acoustic accompaniment, and personal storytelling, Michael Shea will also perform original compositions that honor this deeply American tradition, which transcends age, race, and background. Free and open to all, the concert particularly resonates with those who came of age in the '60s through '80s, for whom these songs served as both personal soundtracks and reflections of cultural change.

You’re invited to learn from journalist and author Joseph Lee as he chats online with us about his stirring memoir, Nothing More of This Land: Community, Power, and the Search for Indigenous Identity. In it, he explores Indigenous identity in proximity to land that serves as an iconic vacationing spot for the wealthy–the “island paradise” Martha’s Vineyard.Growing up Aquinnah Wampanoag, Joseph Lee grappled with what it means to be an Indigenous person in the world today, especially as tribal land, culture, and community face new threats. Starting with the story of his own tribe, which is from the iconic Martha’s Vineyard, Lee tackles key questions around Indigenous identity and the stubborn legacy of colonialism.Lee weaves his own story—and that of his family—with conversations with Indigenous leaders, artists, and scholars from around the world about everything from culture and language to climate change and the politics of belonging. As he unpacks the meaning of Indigenous identity, Lee grants us a new understanding of our nation and what a better community might look like.Register now to join the author online as he delves into the true and vulnerable story, Nothing More of This Land. About the Author: Joseph Lee is an Aquinnah Wampanoag writer based in New York City. He has an MFA from Columbia University and teaches creative writing at Mercy University. His writing has been published in The Guardian, BuzzFeed, Vox, High Country News, and more. He was a Margins Fellow at the Asian American Writers Workshop and a Senior Indigenous Affairs Fellow at Grist.
