    Vienna Teng

    Uptown Theater, Providence · verified Jul 31
    See details

    Vienna Teng brings an intimate night of storytelling in song, the kind that lingers like a heartfelt conversation. Her repertoire spans the haunting choral work “The Hymn of Acxiom,” heard in classrooms and corps performances and even surprise public choirs, to the sparkling rush of “Stray Italian Greyhound,” which has sparked creative fan videos and dialogue across divides. “City Hall” has become a quiet anthem for many coming out, “Level Up” has fueled dissertations, first books, and tough recoveries, “Harbor” often accompanies first dances and graduations, and “Lullabye For A Stormy Night” has settled into countless bedtime routines. Her warm mezzo was first widely noticed with Waking Hour, which led to features on NPR and a late night television debut, and she has continued to reinvent her sound through the string-woven intimacy of Warm Strangers, the airy hush of Dreaming Through the Noise, the expansive palette of Inland Territory, and the sleek electronics of Aims. She also wrote music for the stage in The Fourth Messenger. Listeners may catch the adventurous songcraft of inspirations like Paul Simon and Tori Amos, yet her voice and vision remain unmistakably her own. Beyond music, she pursued climate solutions in graduate study and professional roles, experiences that informed the intricate 2024 project We’ve Got You, a pair of songs designed to play together or separately. In 2025, Grist recognized her among notable climate innovators for building a music and action community that helps fans make tangible changes, from first e-bikes to workplace sustainability efforts and local clean energy wins. On tour, she often leads venue-based workshops that audiences describe as energizing and deeply encouraging. This appearance at Upstairs at Uptown offers an evening where musical craft, curiosity, and real-world engagement meet onstage.

    Beginner Butterfly Stained Glass Workshop

    Ted's Stadium Pub, 1145 Park Ave, Cranston · verified Aug 6
    See details

    At Ted's Stadium Kitchen and Pub, beginners can dive into stained glass by creating a butterfly plant stake. Materials and patterns are prepared in advance, so the focus stays on making. Choose from several color combinations and add a dangling crystal bead accent. The session starts with a brief overview of safety and essential tools, then moves into hands-on work with pre-cut glass and preparation for assembly. Participants learn the copper foil method, wrapping edges for clean results, followed by soldering to bring the butterfly together with neat lines and sturdy construction. Once assembled, the piece is hung from a metal hook for display in a plant or garden, and simple finishing steps cover cleaning, polishing, and checking durability. By the end, participants take home a finished butterfly stake, practical experience with foiling and soldering, and added confidence for future stained glass projects. Space is limited to seven seats. Because kits are preordered and spots are limited, registrations are nonrefundable.
