Natalie Merchant Grateful Friends Fundraiser
Natalie Merchant
Grateful Friends Fundraiser
Natalie has graciously agreed to perform at The Cabot in support of Grateful Friends, a local nonprofit dedicated to helping adult cancer patients undergoing treatment.
Natalie accepted the invitation from Bill Beckman, husband of Grateful Friends Board President Becky Beckman. Bill and his late wife Mary Beckman were dear friends of Natalie growing up and performed musically together in the Westfield/Jamestown, NY area.
This very special concert will serve not only as a fundraiser but also as a heartfelt tribute to Mary, who passed away ten years ago from metastatic breast cancer. In her memory, Becky Beckman now leads Grateful Friends with passion and purpose. Natalie’s performance will celebrate their enduring friendship and honor Mary’s legacy, along with so many others, by supporting people on their cancer journey.
We hope you’ll join us for what promises to be an inspiring and meaningful evening.

Artist: Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards
Massachusetts-based Musicians
Little by little, you will get to know Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards through their unmistakable vocal harmonies, poetic lyrics and down-to-earth personae. They are a married musical couple based out of Webster, Massachusetts. These prolific and hard-working Massachusetts-based artists have contributed over seventeen albums within their first decade and toured consistently throughout the US and Canada.
Touches of Nature & Post-Industrial Era
Their songs poetically reflect personal experiences as factory workers, teachers, community organizers, and natives of post-industrial mill towns in central Massachusetts. The memories of days gone by and toils of history can be better remembered through songs such as “That Old Machine” or “Winds of Change.” Listeners feel refreshed lyrics with references to elements in nature.
Gaelic Storm
Gaelic Storm, a multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and after two decades and over 2000 shows, they are a true force to be reckoned with.
The band attributes their continued success to their fanatic audience, and it’s a well-diversified crowd for sure – attracting fans of every genre with their rich storytelling, energetic instrumentals, devotion to Celtic traditions and passion for their stagecraft. They are as loyal to their fans as the fans are to them, as front man Patrick Murphy states, “The fans are the ones that have given us this life. We’re here for them.”Gaelic Storm takes a true blue-collar, hard-nose approach to touring, consistently traveling the US and internationally forging a unique path in the Celtic music world. “You have to see us live. We are the true working-man’s’ band,” says longtime member Ryan Lacey. “We still, and most likely always will, tour most of the year, and that’s how we constantly hone our craft.”
