The East End Underground Live Concert Series will bring Aqua Cherry and Friends to LTV Studios in Wainscott on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. A reggae band from New York, Aqua Cherry “infuses its music with a rebellious rock edge,” says the band’s website.
Aqua Cherry has shared the stage with Everlast, the Spin Doctors, Pat DiNizio of the Smithereens, Badfish, the Scofflaws, Junior Marvin and the Wailers, Corky Laing, and Wonder Mike from the Sugarhill Gang. In a review of their album “The Sum of Love,” the After Hours Review said, “Aqua Cherry blew me away with this release. I knew they were good, but they far exceeded my expectations.”
The show has been produced by Jody Gambino in association with J Til Productions and LTV. An artist, filmmaker, and musician, Mr. Gambino was raised in East Hampton, where he played in several bands, and attended the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door, $40 for cafe table seating with a drink ticket.
On a more serious note, “The Weight of Memory: I Am Bernie Furshpan” is a documentary by Christiane Arbesu about Dr. Furshpan, a retired chiropractor and the son of Holocaust survivors, who travels around the country to share the story of his family with younger generations. It will be shown Sunday at 4 p.m.
While he is on both the board and staff of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in Glen Cove, in the film Dr. Furshpan moves beyond the museum, into his home and past, retracing his father’s escape and his maternal grandmother’s desperate search.
Roksana Amid wrote in the LI Herald, “ ‘The Weight of Memory: I Am Bernie Furshpan’ is an intimate and urgent film that follows Bernie Furshpan as he shares his father’s harrowing Holocaust story with students and community groups.”
