2025-08-02 15:00 - 17:00 | The Loading Dock Gallery, The Loading Dock Gallery, 122 Western Ave, Lowell, MA, United States
Show: Uncommon Connections
Show dates: July 30 – August 31, 2025
Opening Reception: August 2 from 3-5 pm
This show brings together the creative voices of three senior artists—each representing a distinct medium: painting, woodworking, and sculpture. With a lifetime of experiences and shared passion for the arts, these men offer a rich, multidimensional exhibition. Their connection goes beyond the canvas or workshop—they are long-time collaborators and curators at the Loading Dock Gallery. Through their individual works and collective vision, this show celebrates not only their diverse artistic journeys but also the enduring power of community and creativity.
Bruce Wood’s work is imaginative, whimsical, creative and provocative, drawing the viewer into a world of skewed reality and thought. He uses found and recycled items to create unique sculptures.
Neal Emmer’s work displays simple subject matter with forceful detail. He finds content while taking walks, driving, or finding things in thrift stores, at home and in his back yard. He develops a theme and draws or paints the scenarios using pencil on paper or acrylic paint on canvas.
Bob Jones’ passion for woodworking started at a young age. His work is driven by a desire to marry functionality with artistry, creating useful and beautiful objects.
The Loading Dock Gallery show, Uncommon Connections, will be on display July 30 to August 31, 2025 at the Loading Dock Gallery, 122 Western Avenue, Lowell, MA. Opening Reception on August 2 from 3-5 pm. More at www.theloadingdockgallery.com.

Lyle Lovett and his Large Band
2025-07-29 19:30 - 22:30 | Lowell Memorial Auditorium, Lowell Memorial Auditorium, 50 E Merrimack St, Lowell, MA, 01852, United States
A singer, composer and actor, Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers.
Whether touring as a ‘Duo’ or with his ‘Acoustic Group’ or his ‘Large Band,’ Lovett’s live performances show not only the breadth of this Texas legend’s deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivating musicians in popular music.
Since his self-titled debut in 1986, Lyle Lovett has evolved into one of music’s most vibrant and iconic performers. Among his many accolades, besides the four Grammy Awards, he was given the Americana Music Association’s inaugural Trailblazer Award, and was named Texas State Musician.
His works, rich and eclectic, are some of the most beloved of any artist working today.
