Luminous Crush set to light up Jamaica Town Hall

Wednesday, June 14, 2017 — Issue 412

JAMAICA — On Thursday, June 15, the Jamaica Town Hall will come to life with a performance by Luminous Crush, whose music has been hailed as “fearless and original” by Dan Bolles, music editor at Seven Days.

Luminous Crush is a rock and pop band fronted by Laura Molinelli and Ben Campbell. Joined by Christian Heins (bass), Brad Waugaman (keyboard), and Paul Carroccio (drums), they form a quintet that focuses on original dreamlike pop and rock vignettes.

Waugaman, an accomplished videographer, will provide an accompanying light show as well as performing on keys and vocals, according to a news release.

The performance is presented by the Jamaica Community Arts Council.

Carolers sing “Tis the season to be jolly.” Unless you're grieving a death. Or divorce. Or job loss, health challenge, hunger, homelessness, or separation from a loved one. “There's all sorts of sadness,” Devin Starlanyl says. The member and lay minister at Brattleboro's St. Michael's Episcopal Church knows seasonal tunes declaring “all is merry and bright” don't comfort those feeling otherwise. That's why she and her peers are organizing a “Longest Night” service for the public this weekend. “There can...

Blue Cross Blue Shield and MVP Health Care are requesting massive premium increases this year. BCBS is asking for an average increase of 15.6 percent, and MVP is requesting a 9.4-percent average increase. This is on top of the deductibles and copays that come with these policies, which render many of us who have insurance “underinsured,” meaning that we have a policy but don't use it because of high deductibles. The Green Mountain Care Board is holding public hearings on...
