Man Man

Man Man takes the stage at The Sinclair with Death Valley Girls. This event is open to all ages. Fronted by Honus Honus, also known as Ryan Kattner, the band thrives on the tension between beauty and abrasion, order and chaos. Their Sub Pop debut, Dream Hunting in the Valley of the In-Between, arrived after more than six years and spans 17 songs that balance intimacy with fearless invention. Highlights include Cloud Nein, Future Peg, On the Mend, Sheela, and Animal Attraction. The album was produced by longtime collaborator Cyrus Ghahremani, mixed by S. Husky Höskulds, and mastered by Dave Cooley, with guest vocals from Dre Babinski of Steady Holiday on Future Peg and If Only, and Rebecca Black on On the Mend and Lonely Beuys. It followed the 2019 Sub Pop Singles Club entries Beached and Witch. Kattner reignited Man Man after a hiatus spent scoring for screen, taking on acting roles, and writing across several mediums while continuing to make new music. The record began on an upright piano in a sparse Los Angeles guesthouse, then evolved through live testing on stage before being re-recorded largely live to capture a fluid, organic band feel. Inspirations stretch from dream-born melodies and a childhood tape woven into Oyster Point, to a town encounter that inspired its title, to Goat, a jazz-tilted tale sparked by an unusual mishap. The collection also carries playful and pointed references, from the bristling spirit of Inner Iggy, to the art-world salute of Lonely Beuys, to Sheela, a pop-fuzz take on doo-wop shaped by the Wild Wild Country story. For each ticket sold, twenty-five cents benefits The Shout Syndicate, a Boston-based, volunteer-run effort that raises funds for youth-led arts programs at proven creative youth development nonprofits in Greater Boston, housed at The Boston Foundation in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Arts & Culture’s Boston Creates plan.

Tarot & Geomancy with Jenna Blum & Karen Winn

Experience an evening centered on intuition, symbolism, and self-discovery as authors Jenna Blum and Karen Winn guide a deep dive into tarot and geomancy. Attendees can receive insights through tarot readings and learn how geomancy interprets marks on the earth or patterns formed by randomized dots to offer guidance and understanding. The setting emphasizes a welcoming, mystical ambience and encourages thoughtful conversation, reflection, and exploration of the unseen. All experience levels are invited to take part, from complete beginners to seasoned practitioners, and participants are welcome to bring questions and an open mind. Tickets are $35, with all proceeds benefiting the BINC Foundation, which supports bookstore and comic shop employees and owners facing unforeseen emergency financial, medical, and mental health service needs. Jenna began reading tarot in 2021, studied with senior tarot readers and lightworkers, and has since completed hundreds of readings focused on offering guidance to creatives and their projects. Karen, author of The Society and Our Little World, discovered geomancy while researching a novel about a Boston secret society, immersed herself in the tradition through extensive reading, and even met with a renowned geomancer. Though relatively new to giving geomancy readings, she shares a practice that stretches back to medieval times.

From Lagoon to Empire: The Story of Venice

Presented in collaboration with UMAss Boston’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, this talk explores how a city built on a lagoon grew into a maritime and commercial powerhouse and continues to navigate the challenges of the present. Spanning 1,500 years and organized in four parts, the program follows Venice from its origins as a refuge on mudflats after the fall of Rome to a global trading hub that linked Europe with the East. It considers how geography, commerce, advances at sea, and pragmatic governance forged a small yet far-reaching empire, how prosperity fueled extraordinary achievements in art, architecture, music, and civic life, how changes in world trade and Napoleon’s conquest brought the republic to an end, and how Venice has repeatedly adapted in the face of heavy tourism and rising seas. The presenter, Michael J. Ranieri, earned a history degree from St. Francis College and a master’s in Chinese studies from St. John’s University in New York, where he also taught Chinese history and Mandarin. He spent three decades in international banking, living and working in Taipei, Bangkok, and Hong Kong for more than 20 years. He later shifted to research, writing, and lecturing, contributed the Asia Watch column to an Oregonian newspaper while serving as a destination lecturer on cruise ships, and authored Nonno and the History of Our Family. His work for Primo magazine includes Making Nonno Proud, Tribute to Michael S. Vaccaro (1931-2016): A Proud Italian, Great Teacher and Role Model, For God and Treasure: The Adventures of Two Pioneers: Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus, The Joys of La Famiglia Italiana: Sunday Dinner at Grandma’s, and Venice: Getting Immersed in its Charm and History.

Tricky

Tricky appears at The Sinclair for an all-ages concert that reflects a powerful new chapter in his career. The Bristol-born artist, also known as Adrian Thaws, is touring behind Different When It’s Silent, his first album under his own name in six years and his 15th studio release. Shaped by a period of deep personal loss and a surge of collaboration, the record shifts toward predominantly male vocals led by Mitch Sanders, with a single appearance from longtime collaborator Marta Złakowska. The music threads blues and electronic textures with touches of drum and bass, adds moments of strings and operatic color, and features a striking reinterpretation of Dope Lemon’s Marinade. Recent projects on his False Idols label, including the Lonely Guest collective, Theis Thaws with producer Mike Theis, and a joint album with Marta, underscore his commitment to lifting up voices from his community and beyond. In connection with this show, twenty-five cents from each ticket supports The Shout Syndicate, a Boston-based, volunteer-driven initiative that funds youth-led arts programs at proven nonprofit creative youth development organizations in Greater Boston, housed at The Boston Foundation and aligned with the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture’s Boston Creates plan.
