They brought the house down at last year’s Arts Festival. Hot Club of Cowtown has grown to be the most globe-trotting, hard-swinging Western Swing trio on the planet. From early days busking for tips in San Diego's Balboa Park, the band has grown and developed into a formidable international sensation.
The Hot Club's ever-growing presence on the international festival scene has grown with its relentless touring over the years alongside the release of five critically acclaimed CDs on American Roots label HighTone Records. In August 2008 the Hot Club's sixth CD, "The Best of the Hot Club of Cowtown," a hand-picked, band-picked, twenty-song retrospective, was released by Shout!Factory.

To sample the best food and drink the area has to offer, your best bet may be to “jump” on down to the waterfront. The Fall River Chamber of Commerce and dozens of area businesses will make the Carousel and waterfront their home for one evening.
New this year is the Carousel location. All the glass doors on the first floor will be open, allowing patrons to enjoy the lovely scenery of the waterfront, and a tent will be set up over the patio. And the Carousel itself will be open for rides from 6 to 7 p.m. — sure to appeal to the kid in all of us.
Landry said Yankee Spirits of Swansea is the new beverage sponsor this year, and she said, as in past years, a wide variety of food vendors will present some of their signature dishes. Participants include Patti’s Pierogis, LePage’s, Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits, Mesa 21, Fall River Grill, Minervas II, Venus de Milo and Lafrance Hospitality.

With book, lyyrics and music by Dan Goggin, “Nunsense II: The Second Coming” takes place six weeks after the sisters have staged their first benefit. The sisters are back presenting a “thank-you” show for all the people who supported them in the past. But now, they’re a bit slicker, having been “bitten by the theater bug.”
Things get off to a rousing start as the sisters sing “Nunsense, the Magic Word,” but before long, chaos erupts. Two Franciscans come to claim Sister Mary Amnesia (who has won the Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes) as one of their own. At the same time the nuns hear that a talent scout is in the audience to see them strut their stuff.
From the riotous bingo game run by Sister Amnesia to the hilarious duet, “What Would Elvis Do?,” to the rousing finale, “There’s Only One Way to End Your Prayers and That’s to Say Amen!,” this show will have you rolling in the aisles! The cast includes Elizabeth Teixeira, Maryann Goulart, Christine Roy, Cheryl Field, and Erin Cote.
Ron Robinson directs Nunsense II, with Bev Robinson as assistant director and stage manager. Musical direction is by Dennis Robinson. The show is choreographed by Jeff Belanger and Janice MacDonald.
Donna Klamkin is the assistant stage manager and oversees props. The show has costumes by Cheryl Field. Ron Robinson also designed the set and lighting.
