Tony Vacca and FUSION NOMADS

Saturday, October 25, 2025, 8:00 pm until 9:00 pm
With John Sheldon, Jo Sallins, Charles Langford, and Chris Devine

FUSION NOMADS is Tony Vacca on percussion and spoken word, John Sheldon on electric and acoustic guitar, Charles Langford on saxophone, Chris Devine on electric violin, and Jo Sallins on electric bass, percussion and keyboard.

These players have travelled the world in the process of creating their respective worlds of music. Together they weave a legacy of tradition and innovation that is the future of where music can take them... and us all. Jazz, World Fusion, Funk, Blues and so much more… it’s all in there, but it’s really about how a world overflowing in music can all flow together. The music they create seems to be saying what we all already know… We are all connected and revealed in the music.

“We are creating a flow, a tapestry of rhythmic and melodic patterns in ever-changing waves of energy that reach and change us… and that we can all dance to and be immersed in. So yeah, come on out to our concert and feel free to dive into the deep end of where all this just might take you.” Tony Vacca

Exciting News for A Happening V: The Bestiary

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received generous grants from the Mass Cultural Council as well as the Community Foundation of Western MA to support our 2025 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening V: The Bestiary.”

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 50 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by Aesop's Fables, George Orwell's Animal Farm, newly imagined cautionary tales, and creature myths of all origins.

Thanks to the Mass Cultural Council for their vital support this year.We'd also like to thank the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for their support in the form of a Flexible Funding grant. We couldn't do this work without you!
