Esperanto Jazz
Imagine a style of music so tastefully unique to itself it cannot be categorized by genre. Even to roughly classify it as “jazz” would simply not be doing it justice. The most accurate way to describe Esperanto is as an expressive groove trio. The only two fundamental qualities of this sound are that of limitless...

 Bookie McBook has always had a soft spot for books. This may seem obvious as Bookie appears to be a book but there is really much more to it. Bookie is always quoting Groucho Marx. It is always Groucho said this, and Groucho said that, but what Groucho said that seems particularly relevant here is “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read.” Truer words were never spoken about books and dogs. Bookie realized that books were not just for reading. Too many times Bookie just stood by and watched as once cherished and beautiful books were discarded only because they were missing a page, their cover was torn, or that some careless person had taken a highlighter to their pages as if the words themselves were not enough.

 Recently featured in Spirit Magazine and a news piece by WCVB-TV Chronicle, Ryan Miner trained in photography at Keene State College, NH, learning that subject, composition, and the correct exposure are the keys to capturing the moment. With a background primarily in natural lighting, Ryan has mastered indoor techniques with a host of weddings and formal events as well as studio settings.
Since graduation, Ryan has worked as a freelance photographer, through his business Beantown Photo for colleges, high schools, newspapers, and magazines. He has photographed everything from celebrities and weddings to sports, corporate events, concerts and landscapes. This is in addition to the time he spends working with Loaded Gun, a Boston-area pop culture blog.
Ryan is looking forward to capturing some fun moments at The Rockin’ Shop. As the official Photographer for The Rockin’ Shop, Ryan will be taking holiday portraits featuring Naughty Santa and some of his cute helpers.
Prints will be available on location via digital copy. Also available are mugs, key chains, mouse pads and other novelty items on his website at Beantown Photo.
 In order to give back to our local community, this year’s event will support Project Bread, the state’s leading anti-hunger organization. As the holiday season is in full swing, let us not forget those children and families in dire need of help.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will directly benefit Project Bread. We will also plan to show our commitment to feeding hungry children and families throughout the state by selling Project Bread’s Holiday Cards at The Rockin’ Gift Center.
