Sam Perry is a guitarist, composer and visual artist from Northampton, MA. He is the lead guitarist of the Indie rock band Old Flame. Since the groups inception in 2016 they have released 3 highly regarded albums, won Deli Magazine’s New England Artist of the Month and played several festivals including Green River Fest in 2018. In Covid isolation Sam has been exploring the sounds of ethereal post rock, traditional English folk music, hard rock and jazz. This exploration has led to his first solo effort under the moniker SVIP. The resulting record is an hour long soundbath titled The Expanse which will be released this Fall. An avid effects pedal enthusiast, be sure to check out his pedal review YouTube channel “Pedal Guys”.

Exciting News for A Happening IV: Leviathan
Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received a generous grant from the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice to support our 2024 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening IV: Leviathan.”
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 30 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by folklore, fairy tales, horror motifs, American literature, and the mythos of the Old Testament, all of which delve into the central question guiding the festival: "What does it mean to encounter something greater than yourself and to be consumed by it?" Through this theme, we explore how a community reemerges and imagines itself after destruction and transformation.
With the support of the Markham-Nathan Fund, we are excited to create an event that complicates perspectives and fosters meaningful dialogue. We are grateful for this partnership and for the work of the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice.
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!
