5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Eric Carle Museum
The O-Tones jazz duo at Eric Carle Museum with Mary Witt (sultry vocals & bass) and Bob Ferrier (swingin’ guitar).

On Thursday evenings throughout the summer, the Museum stays open late from 4–8 pm for Sunset Thursdays, a special summer tradition that brings the community together for lively, inter-generational evenings of art and live music. As the sun begins to set, the grounds come alive with live outdoor jazz performed by local musicians curated by Northampton Jazz Festival along with artists of all ages drawing together, hands-on art activities, story-times for all ages, local food vendors, and more.

Sunset Thursdays take place every Thursday evening July 2–August 27. All events are held outdoors (weather permitting) in Bobbie’s Meadow, nestled within the Museum’s beautiful 100-year-old orchard. In case of rain, programs will move indoors to the Museum’s “Jazz Café.”

Relax on the lawn, explore the galleries, and enjoy the creative energy of the season!

Order food to-go from area restaurants, or bring your own. Feel free to bring your own blankets or lawn chairs. Check out our picnic partners. We’ll be hosting local food trucks periodically throughout the summer.

To get into
 the summer spirit, check out The Carle Bookshop’s Summer Road trip bundle!

on Thumbtack Website

What do you love about your job? I get to play, sing and play bass on music that I love. I do this with people who are inspiring and fun to work with. We play lots of different types of gigs from weddings and parties to fundraisers and festivals. Our clients are always so appreciative, generous and grateful to have live music at their events. There are a lot of things about playing music for a living that are very satisfying, and it inspires me to keep on doing it. What or who inspired you to start your own business? My mother inspired me to start my business. She was always coming up with innovative ways to earn money and spend her time bringing me to cultural events. She was always way ahead of her time and advocating for people who could benefit from her talents. Describe your most memorable project. We just finished making a CD, Groove Duets. This is my album where I am singing duets with 12 other singers backed by a full band including horn section. It’s been an exciting, inspiring, educational, and a fun project. One thousand CDs will arrive and digital downloads are also available. It was cool to sing with so many different types of singers on songs ranging from funky blues to swing to ballads, even a waltz and a rumba!

The O-Tones featured!

O-Tones’ song on National TV!
Our song “Spring Cleaning” (from our CD “Ain’t That a Kick”) was on the Today Show in2008! A special on spring cleaning starts off with The O-Tones song with special tips for spring cleaning (including ketchup, coffee beans, and vanilla!).

The O-Tones hit British TV!
The TV programme “It’s Me Or The Dog” also used our song “Spring Cleaning”. In this particular episode, the owners are clearing up the mess their two dogs made. The show was on British TV plus Animal Planet in the USA.

The O-Tones named “best swing band in the valley”
(Pioneer Valley of MA) numerous times, voted by listeners in the Valley Advocate¹s Grand Band Slam.

Two O-Tones’ songs included on two different Oasis Jazz Samplers!
Oasis Manufacturing pressed both our CDs and included us twice on the jazz compilations: 2000 “Just Squeeze Me” from “Ain’t That a Kick” and 2006 “Come Dance With Me” From “Dance With Me” by Mary Witt, including all The O-Tones.
