Turners Falls, Performance

August 10 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm EDT

Synth-pop duo Home Body curates Home Body and Friends, 6:30pm on Saturday, August 10 at Peskeompskut Park, Avenue A and Seventh Street in Turners Falls. This annual outdoor music festival curated by Haley Morgan and Eric Hnatow of the band Home Body will open with loop-based, bass forward compositions by Mal Devisa and saxophonist Joe Degeorge.

Folks are encouraged to bring a picnic dinner and lawn chairs to this free, family-friendly, ADA accessible event. Home Body and Friends is sponsored by RiverCulture with support from the Mass Cultural Council and Greenfield Cooperative Bank. Sunday, August 11 at 6:30pm is the rain date.

MAL DEVISA is known for her smoldering voice, raw poetics, and loop based, bass-forward compositions, Mal Devisa is one of the Valley’s favorite artists for a reason. She approaches her genre-defying vibrations from any and every direction, making hypnotic, liberatory music that spans everything from jazz to folk, rock to hip hip, lo-fi to funk. “It’s okay to get weird,” she writes, “I exist for everyone to know it’s just fine to be themselves and to FEEL something.”

JOE DEGEORGE: SAX MACHINE is a honking good time! Providence, RI’s favorite quahogger by day and prolific global rocker by night (Harry and the Potters, Downtown Boys), Joe DeGeorge offers his saxophone as a tool to explore ourselves, each other, and life itself. “It can lift you up like the salt in the ocean or bring you down to the depths,” he croons, “allow me to demonstrate…”

HOME BODY is back in the bandshell for their fifth summer! Hailing from right here in Western Mass, vocalist Haley Morgan and synthesist Eric Hnatow make heartfelt electro-pop music as Home Body. Known for their energetic live performances (IYKYK), the duo harnesses light, sound, and movement to present a spirited synth spectacle oozing with raw power and emotional grit.
