When I asked him why he decided to be a barber, he said, “I didn’t have a choice.” He started working in his uncle’s barbershop on Union Street when he as just 8 years old. As a young boy he would do twelve hour days in the summer. At nineteen years old he made a whopping $19.00 a week as a barber. For Lou, as you will learn later, it wasn’t about the money. It was about the love for his customers. - [The IN Crowd Spotlight - Richard Raw: Musician & Community Activist](https://inwilmde.com/blog/crowd-spotlight-richard-raw-musician-community-activist/) - Richard Raw is a member of our local music scene whose presence will surely be felt for years to come.

The street’s most identifiable and indefatigable mailman has delivered letters and packages on Market since the beginning of the Reagan administration, through snow, rain, heat and maybe even some gloom of night during the holiday season.

(There’s a useful video explaining this on Facebook.) But though both Sanchezes (Sanchezi?) have been mainstays on Market for almost a decade – Dan working at various theaters in marketing gigs, David at Spaceboy Clothing – Dan has recently moved on up to the 9th floor on French Street, as the city’s digital & social media manager under Wilmington Mayor Michael S.

You’ll be walking down Market and there it is, faint in the background, that boom badda badda badda boom badda badda boom boom.

Peters](https://inwilmde.com/blog/spotlight-lauren-e-peters/) - Lauren Peters is not one thing. This is fortunate for her because Peters has painted her own image almost exclusively for the last three years. I met Peters in the parking lot at the Delaware Contemporary, so she could escort me to her studio.

With sold-out performances all over the mid-Atlantic, comedian and drag performer Troy Hendrickson doesn’t get much of a break from full-time performing these days. We asked this Cab Calloway School of the Arts graduate what holidays are like for him and his family in Wilmington…and we asked Aunt Mary Pat the same! - [Shop: I.M.

Coffee, Ben has created his - [Shop: Sneaker City](https://inwilmde.com/blog/sneaker-city/) - Ken Min’s Sneaker City is a city the way Wilmington is a city. It’s small, but it takes advantage of its size. It’s got history, but it’s ready to pivot as circumstances change. It’s global in spirit, but it knows everyone’s name. Ken’s a constant presence in the store, the only way to keep the finger on the pulse of Wilmington’s feet. But he’s not the first Min who decided that Market needed a better shoe store… - [Meet: DLS Discovery](https://inwilmde.com/blog/dls-discovery/) - A nondescript set of double doors open onto the breezeway between The Grand Opera House and Jimmy Johns on Market – at least they do some days, when the humidity is just right and hovering around a nice comfortable 35. On the other side of those doors sits the most sophisticated (and humidity sensitive) Xerox machine on Market Street. Tended to by a marketing team of four inside DLS Discovery – that would be Rebecca Simeone Lennon, Danielle Miller, Grace Hunsinger and new guy Stephen Moran, who’s on his second day at work but is totally fine with our cameras hanging around – this growing print shop serves businesses large and small around the city and on Market, though it’s a bit of an offshoot from DLS Discovery’s original business… - [Meet: NüPOINT](https://inwilmde.com/blog/nüpoint/) - When Strongpoint merged with Möbius New Media last year, it was a marriage made on Market.

In the first in our series about the Women of Market during Women’s History Month, we’re chatting with Sarah Koon (left in above photo) about how this very popular annual fundraiser will support the programs of the LUTQ Foundation. But we started by asking her to think back to that moment on stage as the show ended… - [Roderick Hidalgo: Torch of INspiration](https://inwilmde.com/blog/roderick-hidalgo-torch-inspiration/) - When you are driving to interview an artist and the only thing you know about him is that his latest series of work is entirely black, as in… black layered on black, black poured over black, and black dotted with more black, you end up mind-diving through all the clichés. Is this guy Emo? Goth? New York City slick? Commander of the Night’s Watch? Darth frickIN’ Vader? Meeting Roderick Hidalgo in person defied all these preconceived notions. If I had to describe him in a word, it would be exuberant... - [Meet: Alisha Gay](https://inwilmde.com/blog/meet-alisha-gay/) - Alisha Gay was a high school student studying fashion on Long Island when Rocawear called, offering her an internship at the fledgling brand. “It wasn't anything yet, except that it was Jay-Z and that was a big deal.” She answered the call (“returning the call was key, because phone calls were big before email”) and thus began a career that took her from Rocawear to the Fashion Institute of Technology to the music video circuit to a boutique in Williamsburg to Bella Noire, her new boutique on Ninth Street, just off Market. (If you can keep up, you can follow her @bellanoireofficial on Instagram.) Alisha is a Woman of Market on the move, as she was when we caught up with her on the phone… - [Meet: Connie Drummond](https://inwilmde.com/blog/meet-connie-drummond/) - Connie Drummond is an actress, an award-winning playwright, the founder of Lady C Productions … and a licensed wedding officiant, which means we have 20 minutes to chat inside her Artzscape black box theater on Market before the next happy couple she’s marrying shows up for a meeting. (The photo shoot went long when we started throwing paint around. This is the kind of thing that might happen when Connie is around.) We started the conversation by asking about her favorite places to write… - [Meet: Andrea Sikora](https://inwilmde.com/blog/meet-andrea-sikora/) - Andrea Sikora presides over a growing family of restaurants, with three already up and running and a fourth on the way this spring. But this “Woman of Market” wasn’t born into the business. In fact, Andrea had no previous experience in the restaurant industry before opening La Fia with her husband, Chef Bryan Sikora. But she certainly knew what she liked to eat… - [VISIT WILMINGTON: Sarah Willoughby, Greater Wilmington Convention and Visitors Bureau](https://inwilmde.com/blog/visit-wilmington-sarah-willoughby-greater-wilmington-convention-and-visitors-bureau/) - She might be one of Wilmington’s great advocates today, but Sarah Willoughby’s voice holds more than a hint of a southern accent, and she has a very good gumbo recipe that she’ll share if you’re nice. Born and raised in Laurel, Mississippi (“If you're watching HGTV, that’s where ‘Home Town is filmed”), Sarah graduated Ole Miss before finding herself in Birmingham, Alabama, working as an insurance adjuster and … not happy. (“I claim that's where all my gray hairs come from. And I was saving my money, so I was only eating grits.”) But love bloomed within the walls of that insurance agency, and eventually, she followed her future husband back to his Delaware home … - [Women Who Rock…a-Billy: Tina Marabito](https://inwilmde.com/blog/women-who-rock…-billy-tina-marabito/) - If a Pontiac Grand Am or a Chevy Chevelle Laguna is the classic car of your dreams, you won’t see it at Wilmo a Go-Go in 2019…1972 is the youngest car model you’ll find at the May 26, 2019, event. But you will find old-timey hot rods and muscle cars, rag tops and land yachts, restorations and pinstripes galore. A stand-up bass or two. Biker jackets and twirly moustaches. And cheesecake (thanks to the pin-up contest)…lots and lots of cheesecake. - [Women Who Rock: Amy Watson Bish](https://inwilmde.com/blog/women-who-rock-amy-watson-bish/) - While “Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie” might seem like a natural soundtrack to Amy Watson Bish’s furious home-kitchen piemaking sessions (the frequently medal-winning pies don’t stick around for long), our guess is she’s more likely humming along to the Broadway musical, Waitress. - [Women Who Rock: Gayle Dillman](https://inwilmde.com/blog/women-who-rock-gayle-dillman/) - Never get in the way of a woman and her passion. In the case of Gayle Dillman, it was her role as a proud stay-at-home mom that created a path for her to co-found Gable Music Ventures and its Ladybug Festival. In 2010, seeking to showcase her talented daughter’s original music, she paired up with now-business-partner Jeremy Hebbel to put on “First Annual Yorklyn Rock Showcase.” One thing led to another and this entrepreneur, who has been quoted in Billboard Magazine, will soon welcome 10,000 guests to the eighth annual Festival, taking place July 18 and 19, 2019. - [IN the (#MillSummit) Spotlight: Misty Tyson, Emcee](https://inwilmde.com/blog/millsummit-spotlight-misty-tyson/) - Wilmington resident Misty Tyson is a visual communication creator and the founder of Creative Cartwheel, a communication messaging studio that works with businesses to design targeted strategies to connect with their audiences through visual design, print production, tailored digital content and innovative entertainment hosting.

This place is not the place for you. In an industry where everything seems to be simplified into repetitive hooks and family-friendly lyrics, EyeBawl is uniquely and passionately honest about the ugly things in life with their lyrics and thunderously rock and roll with their sound. The trio includes seasoned players Brian Bruce and Tyler Yoder on drums and bass guitar and Erin Silva, who provides raw female-fronted energy... - [India Colón es una Mujer que Rockea—Se Acerca el Festival Hispano y el Desfile (Women Who Rock)](https://inwilmde.com/blog/india-colón-es-una-mujer-que-rockea—se-acerca-el-festival-hispano-y-el-desfile-women-who-rock/) - The 43rd annual Wilmington Hispanic Festival and Parade takes place this Sunday, September 15th and we talked to India Saraí Colón, a 15-year supporter of this event who has grown her role into managing the operations of the festival and parade... - [Women Who Rock: Abundance Child](https://inwilmde.com/blog/women-who-rock-abundance-child/) - You’ve probably never met a person like Abundance Child.

It’s a village square... - [Women Who Rock: Eunice LaFate](https://inwilmde.com/blog/women-who-rock-eunice-lafate/) - In September of this year, Eunice LaFate celebrated the fourth anniversary of the opening of LaFate Gallery at 227 N.

The casualties of this surgery were neck mobility and Larry’s weekly tennis matches. To replace tennis and help with his rehabilitation, Strange took up hiking. (This comes into play later in the story.) The irony is that thirteen years later, Strange, in spite of his limited ability turn his neck, is putting Wilmington on the map (Google Maps to be specific) with his 360-degree photography... - [Meet: Allison Wier](https://inwilmde.com/blog/allison-wier/) - If you’re not a regular concertgoer, your first visit to The Queen was probably for a wedding, or a networking mixer, or a really awesome Bat Mitzvah … and if you had a good time, you can thank Allison Wier.

The opportunities can seem as large as the Chase building when compared to those in a town under sea level. For more reasons than one, Aaron Fisher (aka No Sir E) made the move and now lives among the corporate america suites wearing, beer garden-attending, Trolley Square-loving Wilmingtonians. However, this transplant has a secret that has taken him all around the country, putting him in front of cheering crowds, and opening for the likes of DJ Jazzy Jeff when he visits The Queen. The best part is he can fit it in a suitcase... - [Meet: The WIN Factory](https://inwilmde.com/blog/meet-win-factory/) - Tamara Varella, Newdy Felton, and Malcolm Coley were entrepreneurs working on their own businesses at the CoIN Loft on Market when they first started collaborating on the Wealth League, a wealth-building membership group that provides access to information, strategy, resources, and opportunities.

Suddenly, they had to put all those strategies, resources and opportunities (and partners Linda Watson and Alfred Campbell) to work in order to find a new home... - [IN Love: The Knotty G's](https://inwilmde.com/blog/love-knotty-gs/) - The duo on stage at what used to be Ernest and Scott Taproom are cool and composed under the hot white stage lights. They play song after song in sweet euphony while strumming their acoustic guitars and singing in perfect harmony. The Knotty G’s, Chuck Knott and Gill Henry, are just as much song birds as they are love birds. After a captivating performance, the two shove off to get some shut-eye. The next day, the two would perform what they affectionately named the “donning of the hat ceremony” and would be united as man and wife in front of their friends and family. After they exchanged vows, they would perform with a full band at their own ceremony at the famous music venue, Arden Gild Hall. With flowers in their hats and love in their hearts, they gave what was sure to be the performance of a lifetime... - [IN Love: Hot Breakfast!](https://inwilmde.com/blog/love-hot-breakfast/) - We’ve heard time and time again that love is patient, love is kind, but not too often do we hear that love is side-splittingly funny.

That floor, which houses the First State Ballet Theatre, isn’t home to Pasha and Kristina Kambalov, but it is both an incubator for and a showcase of love, theirs for each other and for their shared passion of ballet. Ballet came first... - [IN Love: Richard Raw and Shah Jannele](https://inwilmde.com/blog/love-richard-raw-and-shah-jannele/) - Wilmington community activist and local hip hop performer Richard Raw and Founder/Executive Director of the Culture Restoration Project, Inc. Shah Jannele have been together for fourteen years and married for eight, but the seeds of their love story and local activism began over twenty years ago. When Rich was a teen, Shah’s father, Olvan Jones, mentored youth, teaching community classes about Black History in his home. As one of Shah’s father’s students, Rich credits him with keeping him out of a lot of trouble. He knew Shah in those days, of course, but as Rich was a few years older, he didn’t pay much attention to her... - [IN Love: This Couple Is Thriving Since Their Country Mouse-City Mouse Transformations](https://inwilmde.com/blog/love-couple-thriving-their-country-mouse-city-mouse-transformations/) - Small, rural towns have a (perhaps unfair, perhaps not) reputation for stifling artistic promise, as it can be an expression of one’s otherness.

The show doesn’t have a plot like most jukebox musicals of late; instead, Smokey Joe’s Café is a musical revue including 39 of Lieber and Stoller’s classic rock & roll and rhythm & blues songs, spanning the 1950s and 60s. Director and choreographer Dominic Santos stages a seamless production that easily flows from one song to the next. Instead of depending on many set pieces, Santos uses projections by AV Designer Tony DelNegro to create atmosphere. He also houses the show’s outstanding band on the stage (led by Musical Director Anthony Vitalo), which enhances the exuberant performances... - [Mélomanie at the DCCA with La Bernardinia Baroque Ensemble](https://inwilmde.com/blog/mélomanie-dcca-la-bernardinia-baroque-ensemble/) - A grey Sunday in February brought an overflow crowd to the DuPont 1 Gallery of the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts.

Sinkane is the stage name for Sudan native, Ahmed Gallab. He was accompanied by two backup guitarists and a drummer. The quartet’s individual skills accented one another perfectly. Sinkane’s unique musical style was introduced by Brooklyn band, Cookies. Their electronic style worked well with the electronic aspect of Sinkane, but Cookies’ female vocals and more pop sound contrasted in an interesting way. - [Shining a (Warm) Light on The Queen](https://inwilmde.com/blog/shining-warm-light-queen/) - Old man winter may have been furious Saturday evening in Wilmington, Delaware but inside World Café Live at The Queen it was sunny and 75… Literally, The Queen Theater was jam-packed for Shine A Light on 1975. The annual tribute concert in support of The Light up The Queen Foundation was sold out for the third year in a row! Hundreds of people were shaking to their favorite 70’s tunes. Every genre you could think of was performed, from rock to folk right on down to Wilmington’s local 70’s bands that made a grand return. If you do not know what The Shine A Light on The Queen Foundation is, here is your chance to find out! - [Angela Sheik: "Brilliant" Doesn't Quite Cover It...](https://inwilmde.com/blog/angela-sheik-brilliant-doesnt-quite-cover-it/) - If the only thing Angela Sheik had to offer was her vocal range, it would be worth going to her show. If the only thing Angela Sheik had to offer was her quirky-yet-profound songwriting style, it would be enough to draw an audience. But, when you add in the talent of playing multiple instruments, both performing and engineering magical soundscapes while engaging the audience with fun asides and deep revelations, then you find words like “genius” and “brilliant” woefully inadequate to describe the talent of Angela Sheik. - [Rock, Rap and a Guy in Sheep's Clothing.

However, Because of Winn-Dixie: A New Musical isn’t a typical children’s show. Yes, the production has a group of talented youth in lead roles; yes, it has a cute dog as the star; and yes, it has a logo that features a little girl about to shake a dog’s paw, but the show has depth and is actually about the impact adult situations have on children. - ["Powerful, Raw & Visceral" - OperaDelaware's Sultry "Carmen" Hits A Nerve...and Is a Hit](https://inwilmde.com/blog/powerful-raw-visceral-operadelawares-sultry-carmen-hits-nerveand-hit/) - OperaDelaware’s production of La Tragedie de Carmen is opera at its best: powerful, raw and visceral.

The Delaware Chamber Music Festival (DCMF) has just wrapped up its 30th anniversary season. The DCMF has been called one of the state’s “best kept secrets.” Personally, I think there are far too many “best kept secrets” on the local arts scene. DCMF Music Director and Violinist Barbara Govatos promised a program worthy of the milestone, and she did not disappoint with set lists that blended the traditional and the contemporary, old favorites and some genuine surprises. Where else would one see two double bassists over two weekends? - [A Ladybug Preview & CD Review: Nalani & Sarina](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybug-preview-cd-review-nalani-sarina/) - At first listen, Nalani & Sarina’s new EP, Scattered World sounds like a well-blended mix of pop and soul with just the right amount of funk and rap added for extra flavor. But listen closely and you can hear the influences the identical twins grew up with –stellar lyricists like Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, as well as the classical music training they received in childhood. - [Musician with a Camera](https://inwilmde.com/blog/musician-camera/) - Chris Cotter is a world traveler. The 38-year-old West Chester drummer of area band WaveRadio has visited countries in Europe, Central and South America and Africa. On his first trip to Africa at the age of 27 he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, went on safari, did the “tourist thing.” But as a budding documentarian, he began to realize that every time he went on an adventure, it felt as if he had only passed through a place. He wanted to do something “more,” he says, and a dream of making a humanitarian documentary unfolded. - [Wowing Us on Wednesdays in Wilmo](https://inwilmde.com/blog/wowing-us-wednesdays-wilmo/) - Here’s a solid Wilmo recipe: Start with a cool venue. Add one comedian and a variety of talented musicians in different styles, mix in an energetic crowd. When done correctly, this concoction yields one great evening of entertainment. On August 5, Gable Music Ventures cooked up this eclectic blend of talent as part of Wilmo Wednesday at World Café Live at the Queen.

The program was heavy on Vivaldi — no surprise - [Best of 2015: Holly's Picks](https://inwilmde.com/blog/best-2015-hollys-picks/) - 2015 was another great year for Delaware theater, with big changes (The DuPont Theatre was sold by the DuPont Co. to The Grand in January, and Delaware Theatre Company began actually developing shows for Broadway for the first time) and big excitement -- I don’t think I went to a single show in ‘15 without a full audience. I might even go so far as to say that Delaware is in the middle of a theater Renaissance, from Community theater on up. - [A Merry Musical Start to the Holidays from a Trio of Artists](https://inwilmde.com/blog/merry-musical-start-holidays-trio-artists/) - The Liturgy of the Hours, the recitation of certain prayers at fixed times of the day, is one of the oldest forms of Christian spirituality.

The program featured a reprise performance of Smith’s The Nobility of Women, which was commissioned by Mélomanie and premiered in 2012. Mélomanie Co-Artistic Director Tracy Richardson commented that the ensemble gave Smith the choice of an additional instrument to be played by a guest artist.

Even the celebrated pianist Clara Wieck Schumann felt compelled to fill her programs with the works of her husband or their friend Johannes Brahms rather than her own. - [Mamma Mia...That's Some Fun Set to Music!](https://inwilmde.com/blog/saturday-march-5-2016-mamma-miathats-some-fun-set-music/) - Lord Byron said, “All tragedies are finished by a death, all comedies are ended by a marriage.” Of course, when your play’s first act is set on the day before the wedding and the second act is set on the wedding day itself and you add in the music of Abba, a cast of vocal and physical acrobats with hundreds of costumes and more than 30,000 rhinestones – then you get a dose of fun that infects The Playhouse on Rodney Square and spills joyously out onto Market Street... - [Welcome to Lully's World via Brandywine Baroque](https://inwilmde.com/blog/welcome-lullys-world-brandywine-baroque/) - Jean Baptiste de Lully’s death is legendary among musicians: While beating time on a staff during a performance of his Te Deum in 1687, he suffered a fatal injury.

It’s not about how we were in the ‘80s and ‘90s (OK, it is a little bit), but how we are somehow grown up, being responsible at parties (Someone’s Got to Drive Larry Home) and listening to the same five records even though there’s a nearly endless supply of new music out there waiting to be downloaded (Too Many Choices). By the end, Matt Casarino (guitar and backing vocals) and Jill Knapp (lead vocals and percussion) have thrown up their hands and give in to the inevitable with Kids Today [Am I Right?], a tongue-in-cheek(ish) lament about those damn, maybe doomed, Millennials... - [Percussion Rules with DSO Chamber Series](https://inwilmde.com/blog/percussion-rules-dso-chamber-series/) - For centuries, people all over the world have pounded on percussion instruments to accompany music, dance and ritual.

A good portion of the first act serves as an introduction to our central characters, Claude (Brendan Sheehan), Berger (Jeff Hunsinger) and Woof (Adam Montgomery) -- followed by declarations by song on everything from the Vietnam War to drug use to open sexuality... - [Album Review: Jennifer Campbell's "Perceptions of Shadows"](https://inwilmde.com/blog/album-review-jennifer-campbells-perceptions-shadows/) - It might seem a bit presumptuous for a young pianist to include her own compositions on her debut CD and to christen the project with the title of one of said works. But Jennifer Nicole Campbell is not just any other pianist. Barely out of conservatory (Peabody Class of ’14) — this young artist must surely possess a bookshelf sagging under the weight of the awards she’s already won. Those talents are brilliantly displayed in this “a-little-bit-of-everything” recording, the 10 tracks of which range from the baroque to the contemporary... - [May Day Welcomed in Song](https://inwilmde.com/blog/may-day-welcomed-song/) - The Music School of Delaware’s Spring Choral Concert showcased the talents of four ensembles in an eclectic program at the school’s Wilmington Branch on Sunday, May 1, 2016 featuring music from church, folk and pop/rock traditions.

Their set concluded with the traditional spiritualTwelve Gates into the City, which spotlighted their individual voices... - [An Much-Welcomed 'Spring Night' Courtesy of Delaware Symphony Orchestra](https://inwilmde.com/blog/much-welcomed-spring-night-courtesy-delaware-symphony-orchestra/) - Myth, legend and a concerto featuring a most unlikely instrument filled the bill last weekend as the Delaware Symphony Orchestra (DSO) performed its Classic Series “Spring Night” at the Laird Performing Arts Center at The Tatnall School in Greenville.

What’s the word, ya’ll?,” wailed Amos Lee as he opened his sold-out show atWorld Cafe Live at the Queen on May 16. Known for his folksy sound and soulful voice, Amos started the night with a favorite from his 2011 album Mission Bell called Windows Are Rolled Down, setting the tone for what would be a laid-back, intimate show. For more than two hours, he serenaded those in attendance with a mix of older songs and newer yet-to-be-released tracks. A native of Philadelphia, Amos paid homage to his hometown and its proximity to Wilmington. The crowd cheered at Amos’ shout out to WXPN, the University of Pennsylvania public radio station headquartered at Philly’s World Café Live location, and went nearly silent during Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight as Amos quietly sang the line, “Sometimes we forget what we got, who we are, and who we are not.”... - [Mélomanie Closes 2015-16 Season with "Big Band" Concert & Another Premiere](https://inwilmde.com/blog/mélomanie-closes-2015-16-season-big-band-concert-another-premiere/) - There’s something about a season finale that whets the appetite for more. In a season full of not-to-be-forgotten performances, Mélomanie closed its 2015-16 season on Sunday, May 8, with not one — but two — World Premieres, some neo-Baroque jazz, the usual suspects and an obscure delight. Mélomanie harpsichordist and Co-Founder/Co-Artistic Director Tracy Richardson dubbed the event a “big band concert” for the many special guests participating. Joining the ensemble’s core group were Rainer Beckmann on recorder, flutist Eve Friedman and cellist Naomi Gray. The additions made for a lively program of interesting material and musical combinations... - [IN Heaven with Brandywine Baroque](https://inwilmde.com/blog/heaven-brandywine-baroque/) - No other composer in the history of Western music compares to J.S. Bach. He excelled in virtually every genre — except opera — and invented quite a few himself, including the keyboard concerto. Brandywine Baroque devoted the entire program of this year’s Harpsichord Heaven to a performance of the composer’s complete set of concertos for one, two, three and four harpsichords. Although the piano has dominated the concerto literature for more than 200 years, the keyboard came late to the ranks of concerto soloists. Baroque composers generally regarded the harpsichord as a “utility” orchestral instrument; one that filled in harmonies as opposed to presenting melody. Even Vivaldi — who composed more than 500 concertos — never wrote one for the harpsichord. (He did, however, manage to compose one for the lute.)... - [IN Wilmington Heads to Firefly](https://inwilmde.com/blog/wilmington-heads-firefly/) - It's no secret that the festival - in its fifth year at the Woodlands at Dover International Speedway - has raised the bar immensely as far as big time musical acts coming to play Delaware are concerned. Since it’s inception, the festival has brought top-line talent to the First State; Paul McCartney, The Killers, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chil Peppers - all multi-platinum Grammy winners - have marked their Firefly performance as their Delaware inauguration.https://www.instagram.com/inwilmingtonde/ - [Early Bird Gets the Worm at Firefly](https://inwilmde.com/blog/early-bird-gets-worm-firefly/) - The daytime slots at the Firefly Music Festival are probably the most exciting, and our apprehension was high going in every single day. The opportunity to see new bands from around the country that otherwise may go unnoticed or unheard of is priceless to people like us who love to hear new music. So when the rain had finally cleared from Thursday night and the drainage issues that plagued last year’s festival looked solved by some ingenious engineers, us here at IN Wilmington headed out Friday morning to hit up the first act, a special one to us because of their connection to the local music scene... - [As the Dust Settles on Firefly](https://inwilmde.com/blog/dust-settles-firefly/) - About a week ago the dust settled on the 2016 Firefly Music Festival. As 90,000-plus began the mass exodus from the state capital, Dover residents breathed a sigh of relief as they were returned their strip malls and gas stations that line Route 13 as it passes by Dover International Speedway. The grounds surrounding the Monster Mile and The Woodlands were left a trash-strewn mess – but we were happy to see the efforts of Code Purple this year improving the cleanup post-festival, collecting forgotten items for the homeless of Delaware. Despite the dreadful aesthetics, such a mess can be seen as a sign of a successful music festival and that’s exactly what we had on our hands this year... - [DSO Closes Its 16-17 Season at Gold Ballroom](https://inwilmde.com/blog/dso-closes-its-16-17-season-gold-ballroom/) - One of the Delaware Symphony Orchestra’s greatest strengths is its roster of talented musicians that can be called upon to organize performances in a wide range of complexity and moods in a single evening. The result is often a delightfully strange assemblage of pieces and the orchestra’s final chamber series concert of the season — “David Amado and Friends” — in The Gold Ballroom of the Hotel du Pont was one of the most curious, featuring Schubert’s richly lyrical Piano Trio No. 1 in B-flat Major, Op. 99, Shostakovich’s polystylistic Piano Trio in E minor, Op. 67 and Ysaye’s virtuosic Sonata No. 4 for Solo Violin... - [Delaware Chamber Music Festival Wraps 31st Season](https://inwilmde.com/blog/delaware-chamber-music-festival-wraps-31st-season/) - The Delaware Chamber Music Festival (DCMF) turned to Scandinavia for the penultimate concert of its 31st season, programming works by some famous and not-so-famous Nordic composers. The concert opened with a performance of Handel/Halvorsen’s Passacaglia for violin and cello. Halvorsen (1864-1935) was a celebrated violinist, conductor and composer best remembered today for this brilliant extrapolation of Handel’s passacaglia for an intrepid duo of two masterful musicians, in this case Hirono Oka, violin and Burchard Tang, viola. DCMF Music Director and Violinist Barbara Govatos noted that the piece is primarily used for educational purposes, so it was a real treat to hear it performed in concert... - [Ladybug Festival Hits Milestones, Announces Exciting Strides](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybug-festival-hits-milestones-announces-exciting-strides/) - Just over a month ago, something truly breathtaking happened in the 2nd & LoMa (Lower Market Street) area of downtown Wilmington (catch a glimpse of it all in the video at right) --- over 7,000 people from neighborhoods throughout our city joined with folks as far as Baltimore and New York City to celebrate women in music. For readers unfamiliar with Wilmington's Ladybug Festival, here’s a quick rundown. Back in 2011, local entertainment company Gable Music Ventures wanted to produce an event to serve as a free, local alternative to the newly announced Firefly Festival. Why? Gable owners Gayle Dillman and Jeremy Hebbel had heard from musicians and fans alike a need for more presence for Delaware artists and an affordable musical festival option... - [CD Review: Richard Raw's "Word Warrior"](https://inwilmde.com/blog/cd-review-richard-raws-word-warrior/) - The opening track of artist and activist Richard Raw’s Word Warrior, called Intro: R.A.P, is a short and detailed history of rap, from Melle Mel to now. It’s a fitting intro, as Raw represents the now in every way - he speaks on racial injustice and the current climate of discord as Black Americans are once again standing up to systemic racism. That may sound like bleak subject matter, but Raw goes for inspiration as he speaks directly to the Black Community of Wilmington and beyond to Rise Up, Don’t Let Them Take Your Crown, andShine Yo Light, three melodic tracks that lead into the Afrocentric Chaka Zulu then on to the reggae beat of Word Warrior, featuring Jahiti of BrownFish. True to its name, the title track uses words and rhyme to spread his message of empowerment... - [Candlelight (Re)Introduces You to the Classic, "The Music Man"](https://inwilmde.com/blog/candlelight-reintroduces-you-classic-music-man/) - Meredith Wilson was born in Mason City, Iowa in 1902 and played flute in John Philip Sousa's band from 1921-1923. He went on to a full and successful career in music, radio and film. This background and experience was clearly the inspiration behind his biggest hit – The Music Man... - [Soaking Up the Last of Summer with Analog-A-Go-Go](https://inwilmde.com/blog/soaking-last-summer-analog-go-go/) - With its new location, it’s safe to say not many attending Analog-A-Go-Go—the Milton-based Dogfish Head’s ode to music, beer, spirits and art—knew what to expect. Sure, we knew there would be bands, who was going to play and when. And yeah, we were pretty sure there would be beer. There would be records for sale, crafts too. We also knew that there would be food trucks, and were even told which culinary delights to expect. But well armed with that knowledge, myself and my fellow attendee/girlfriend exited our 10 dollar Uber ride from Downtown Wilmington to Bellevue State Park with our minds open to a myriad of possibilities... - [Mélomanie Opens Wilmington Series at The Delaware Contemporary](https://inwilmde.com/blog/mélomanie-opens-wilmington-series-delaware-contemporary/) - Mélomanie opened its 2016-17 Wilmington concert series atThe Delaware Contemporaryon Sunday, October 9 with a program that was both demanding and fascinatingly varied. The program started off with a delightful rendering of Telemann’s Paris Quartet 3 in G Major. A description of the performance can be found in the titles of the movements themselves: Gracieusement, Vite, Gai. Gracious and spirited are exactly the qualities this music requires — and what the ensemble delivered... - [Brandywine Baroque Opens Season with Beautiful French Program](https://inwilmde.com/blog/brandywine-baroque-opens-season-beautiful-french-program/) - Brandywine Baroque opened its 2016-17 season with a wonderfully planned concert of 17th and 18th Century French music. The program — titled “Shades of Love” — was brief in description but generous in its offerings, providing the perfect showcase for the talents of its five instrumentalists, two harpsichordists and soprano Laura Heimes. The music sampled various genres of Baroque instrumental and vocal music, offering a glimpse into the world of the underplayed but brilliant music of the French court... - [What's IN Weekend Round-Up: November 4-6](https://inwilmde.com/blog/whats-weekend-round-november-4-6/) - As always, we have another jam-packed weekend IN store for you #inWilm, all starting with 3 of our top picks from November's Art on the Town, plus, comedy, music, politics, tech and more... - [Has It Really Been 525,600 Minutes...Times 20?

There’s so much to do tomorrow night during Art on the Town that it almost isn’t fair to pick favorites, but alas, here they are... - [Delaware Symphony Celebrates the Silver Screen](https://inwilmde.com/blog/delaware-symphony-celebrates-silver-screen/) - Hollywood has given us more than just great motion pictures. It’s given us a lot of remarkable music as well. Sometimes industry moguls would engage a world-renowned composer to craft an original score to accompany a film. At other times, they’d graft a well-known piece onto a particular scene. The Delaware Symphony Orchestra gave concertgoers a sampling of both approaches on Friday, November 19, 2016 at The Grand Opera House in Wilmington. The program “Music from the Silver Screen” swelled with emotion and crackled with energy in works by Wagner, Korngold, Bernstein and Ravel... - ["The Best of Times" Celebrated at City Theater Company](https://inwilmde.com/blog/best-times-celebrated-city-theater-company/) - La Cage aux Follles is a 1983 musical based on the 1973 French play of the same name by Jean Poiret. While we are firmly living in 2016, the book (Harvey Fierstein) coupled with the lyrics and music (Jerry Herman) and the spirited direction (City Theater Company's Producing Artistic Director Michael Gray) keep this production on the edge of contemporary. Yes, it is a “period piece” of sorts, but in this case, the “period” just sets the era and location – not the themes, pace, dialog, emotion or zaniness of it all... - [Need a Lift This Season? Get INto Kinky Boots!](https://inwilmde.com/blog/need-lift-season-get-kinky-boots/) - There is much uncertainty and craziness in the world today.

It’s Berlin, soon before World War II, and people should forget their woes at the exciting Kit Kat Klub. But trouble abounds as creativity, possibility and budding romance is swallowed by fear, hate and misfortune. The diverse cast – directed by Dominic Santos with music direction by Caty Butler – takes a modern view of the themes in this classic musical. If you're unfamiliar with the content and plot, the mature subject matter may not be suitable for younger audiences. Sexuality, abortion, drug use and racism are woven throughout the multiple storylines which result in adult language and situations. But please don’t let this warning stop you from coming to the theater and enjoying an excellent production…just get a babysitter! - [Calls for Musicians & Visual Artists: Ladybug Festival & The Delaware Contemporary](https://inwilmde.com/blog/calls-musicians-visual-artists-ladybug-festival-delaware-contemporary/) - The annual summertime celebration of female arts and artists (this year expanded to a two-day festival) presented by Gable Music Ventures, has opened its call for artist submissions... - [Celebrating "Men Behaving Badly" at OperaDelaware](https://inwilmde.com/blog/celebrating-men-behaving-badly-operadelaware/) - The hubby and I spent Friday night out with a bunch of truly bad men...and loved every moment! We attended OperaDelaware's quasi-new programming (it's a few seasons in, although some may not realize) Inside the Opera Studio. The program brings audiences up close and personal to well-known and (perhaps) lesser known — but equally captivating — works from productions both international and U.S. born, under a collective theme. This time, it was "Devils, Drunks and Dastardly Dudes." OperaDelaware's second-floor rehearsal hall was set with large candlelit tables and rear platform seating facing a small stage under chandeliers, giving the entire night a personal, intimate feel... - [Mélomanie Premieres Local Composer's Work, Features Violin Duos in February Performance](https://inwilmde.com/blog/mélomanie-premieres-local-composers-work-features-violin-duos-february-performance/) - Mélomanie opened the second half of its 2016-17 season with an eclectic program that showcased the talents of two virtuoso violinists and featured the World Premiere of a commissioned work by organist/conductor David Schelat.

The plot of Rodgers + Hammerstein's CINDERELLA has been modernized, keeping us guessing with its unexpected twists, yet maintaining the endearing elements of the tale we all cherish. The scenery is enchanting, and the musical numbers – which are excellently executed – weave the story through fascinating choreography and captivating costuming... - [20 Years of a Gravity-Defying, Gasp-Inducing Dance Phenomenon](https://inwilmde.com/blog/20-years-gravity-defying-gasp-inducing-dance-phenomenon/) - There's a reason more than 25 million people have come out to see Riverdance over the past two decades. This show brings dance, music, story and song together in a way that leaves the audience with goosebumps, smiles and questions about physics. The show, featuring a troupe of more than 40 dancers and musicians, started in the mid-90s and centers on the rich tradition of Irish dance with a mix of Russian, Spanish and American tap... - [Beethoven, Brahms and Clyne & Pianist Alon Goldstein at DSO](https://inwilmde.com/blog/beethoven-brahms-and-clyne-pianist-alon-goldstein-dso/) - Works by Beethoven, Brahms and Clyne kicked off the second half of the Delaware Symphony Orchestra’s 2016-17 season at Wilmington’s Grand Opera House Friday, February 24, 2017.

Pippin questions its own existence in a wonderfully tongue-in-cheek way — there are balancing acts, air suspension and gravity-defying flips that left us astonished. The fact that the show's lead Housso Semon as the "Ring Leader" effortlessly dances on high-heeled shoes for lengthy numbers left us feeling a bit lazy in our seats. Catchy, interactive songs moved the quirky plot along with honesty and good humor, which also employed subtle (and not-so-subtle) sight gags and double-entendre (that is probably not suited for all ages, although perhaps with the show's sleight-of-hand, such humor wouldn't register with more innocent eyes and ears in the audience)... - [The Nymphs and the Shepherd Close Brandywine Baroque's 16-17 Season](https://inwilmde.com/blog/nymphs-and-shepherd-close-brandywine-baroques-16-17-season/) - There was no grand thought or theme unifying the concert at The Barn at Flintwoods on March 10, unless it was the sheer delight in virtuosity and the delightfully relaxed approach to the music by all concerned. The centerpiece of the evening’s program was a performance of La ninfa e il pastore (The Nymphs and the Shepherd). This rare and beautiful gem was composed in 1715 when the thirty-something Vivaldi became music director of the Ospedale della Pieta in Venice, a charitable institution dedicated to the care of orphaned and abandoned girls... - [DSO Chamber Series Features Brass](https://inwilmde.com/blog/dso-chamber-series-features-brass/) - Symphonies by Haydn and Schubert got a well-deserved reception at the penultimate concert of the Delaware Symphony Orchestra’s chamber series at the Hotel du Pont’s Gold Ballroom on Tuesday. March 21, 2017. It was a trombone concertino by Swedish composer Lars-Erik Larsson, though, that piqued the interest of concertgoers. Little surprise there. Compositions featuring solo trombone are rarities on classical music programs. But the trombone has come a long way. No longer does it have to remain content to sit at the back of the orchestra idly counting rests. The repertoire for it has grown—albeit slowly... - [NYC Composer's Work Highlight of Diverse Repertoire from Mélomanie](https://inwilmde.com/blog/nyc-composers-work-highlight-diverse-repertoire-mélomanie/) - Mélomanie, the critically acclaimed ensemble known for its provocative pairings of early and contemporary works, capped off its 2016-17 season with a program tilted a bit more toward the contemporary than usual... - [Pyxis Brings Beethoven & Faure to Life on Market](https://inwilmde.com/blog/pyxis-brings-beethoven-faure-life-market/) - Market Street Music welcomed spring and Pyxis Piano Quartet to its Festival Concert series on Sunday, March 19, 2017, which paired Beethoven’s String Trio in G major with Faure’s Piano Quartet in C minor. The Opus 9 string trios offer a fascinating portrait of the young composer bursting with ideas as he took a musical form born as the baroque trio sonata and gave it new life as only he could. But as striking as they are, they represent the last gasp for a form that would soon be eclipsed by the string quartet... - [Once Takes Playhouse Theatergoers on Heartfelt Musical Journey](https://inwilmde.com/blog/once-takes-playhouse-theatergoers-heartfelt-musical-journey/) - For one weekend only, a Dublin pub is nestled in the heart of downtown Wilmington with Once, the Tony award-winning Broadway musical, taking audiences on a captivating journey with touching songs and heartfelt performances. The show's tagline – "His music needed one thing. Her." – perfectly encapsulates the storyline of a brokenhearted street musician and Czech-immigrant muse. Sam Cieri and Mackenzie Lesser-Roy brilliantly play the lead characters simply named Guy and Girl, who demonstrate such incredible emotional vulnerability as they struggle to move through life and their own complex, unlikely connection. The tender moments and songs they share bring to life the universal themes of moving past fear and embracing one's destiny... - [Music on Your Lunch Break in Downtown Wilmington](https://inwilmde.com/blog/music-your-lunch-break-downtown-wilmington/) - If you have never been to one of Market Street Music’s Thursday Noontime Concerts, it is worth organizing a trip to First & Central Presbyterian Church. The concerts are only 30-minutes long, so they would serve as a gentle introduction for a person who is new to classical music. The selections are varied and intriguing – a - [A Community INvested in Ladybugs](https://inwilmde.com/blog/community-invested-ladybugs/) - Many cosmic scientists believe that the universe is expanding outward, a generic property of our infinite home for well over 5 billion years.

Bobtown is a five piece New York City-based Americana act named for a particular blue-collar Iowa region. Bobtown's folksy harmonies and lush arrangements harken to an ethereal, gospel-laden history of the country’s heartland, birthed in de facto leader Etzel’s admiration of Alan Lomax archival recordings and traditional field hollers of her cornhusker home... - [Ladybugs IN the Spotlight: Soraia](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybugs-spotlight-soraia/) - Philly’s Soraia have been perfecting their blend of 60’s garage, 70’s glam, 80’s decadence, 90’s defiance and 00’s unbridled fun since 2005. The band has made a name for themselves recording constantly and touring incessantly. Their tight musicianship and deft handling of their style and influences has garnered the attention of numerous critics and publications, and the INtensity of their studio and live output has helped land them perennial play on Steven VanZandt’s Underground Garage show on Sirus/XM, logging “Coolest Song” respect from Little Stevie himself year after year... - [Ladybugs IN the Spotlight: Larkin Poe](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybugs-spotlight-larkin-poe/) - Jumping from a classic blues riff, hard and steady, the ladies of Larkin Poe will veer into gracefully melodic folksy harmonies, then swirl the whole thing in a psychedelic soup so hot it scalds your throat, drums pounding and topped with vocals raw enough to feel like they emanate from the very same afflicted windpipe. They're headlining Thursday’s card at Ladybug, so don’t miss what’s sure to bring down the house and cap off a fantastic day of music with one blazing performance. - [Ladybugs IN the Spotlight: Victoria Watts](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybugs-spotlight-victoria-watts/) - Ask any musician and chances are they’ll tell you they are their harshest critic. For Philly-based independent singer/songwriter Victoria Watts, who doubles as a music journalist for a variety of publications and her own blog, that’s even more the case. But it’s precisely that dedication to studying the art and refining the process of making music that’s helped establish her pop-sensibilities and shape her sound—catchy, toe tapping, guitar-driven pop/rock with a touch of soul and a gypsy heart. - [Ladybugs IN the Spotlight: Bethlehem and Sad Patrick](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybugs-spotlight-bethlehem-and-sad-patrick/) - Bethlehem and Sad Patrick met at one of the latter’s Germantown cafe open mic events. As the legend goes, a one-time performance for her family and friends became regular weekly visits and an INspiration for Sad Patrick’s melancholy music. What began as a chance night out, eventually grew as his instant admiration for her unique delivery—a blend of blues, jazz and spoken word—led to regular collaborations and studio recordings... - [Ladybugs IN the Spotlight: Hoochi Coochi](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybugs-spotlight-hoochi-coochi/) - If you’ve paid attention to music lately, you know there’s a full-on R&B/Soul revival happening, and it isn’t likely to slow down anytime soon. Sure, the genre hadn’t really gone anywhere, but a host of new artists over the past decade have doubled down on the creativity and have pushed boundaries further, while simultaneously paying respects to the foundation of the style. Dover’s Hoochi Coochi have embraced this process themselves... - [Ladybugs IN the Spotlight: Catriona Sturton](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybugs-spotlight-catriona-sturton/) - It’s certainly not out of left field for the first international act to grace the Ladybug Festival stage to be someone who refuses to be pinned down, someone who bucks the modern trend of being distilled ever-so-tiny into one microscopic sub-genre or another. Hailing from the Great White North of Ottawa, Canada, with roots IN the blues—both heavy and acoustic—and a sound honed through years of recording and touring in garage and pop punk bands, Catriona Sturton will fit in just right around here... - [Ladybugs IN the Spotlight: Vajra](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybugs-spotlight-vajra/) - With driving guitar riffs that command your attention from the very start, NYC’s Vajra embodies the spirit of the Sanskrit word from which they are named—a weapon won in battle symbolizing both relentless force and indestructibility... - [Ladybugs IN the Spotlight: LullaNAs](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybugs-spotlight-lullanas/) - Blessed with heavenly voices that harmonize in perfect frequency, the twin sisters of LullaNAs, seemingly without any effort, take the pop influences that have formed their foundation and run away with them... - [Ladybugs IN the Spotlight: Mean Wendy Band](https://inwilmde.com/blog/ladybugs-spotlight-mean-wendy-band/) - Musical comedy is the red-headed stepchild of the genre; overlooked, misunderstood and eccentric.

The subject matter alone lent a gravity to her songs that belied the fact that Kater is only twenty-five years old... - [10 New Bands You Need to Know About](https://inwilmde.com/blog/10-new-bands-you-need-know-about/) - Lend an ear to these local up-and-coming acts that encompass pop, rock, alternative music, ‘gypsy jazz’ and more Delaware’s music scene, while going strong with its favorites, also has a lively undercurrent fueled by new faces and fresh sounds.

Sure, any group of guys or girls with some musical proficiency can cobble together a page on Facebook and call themselves a band. But forming a group that will gig together for years instead of fizzling out before they lay down any tracks or even play a live gig takes the right concept, personalities and instruments. And then there’s MEGA, a rare example of a band that bucks the trend, despite themselves. - [Delaware Theatre Company Opens New Musical with its Sights Set on Broadway](https://inwilmde.com/blog/delaware-theatre-company-opens-new-musical-its-sights-set-broadway/) - This past weekend I had the pleasure of enjoying two jukebox musicals right here in my own backyard of Downtown Wilmington and its Riverfront.

Fortunately, my companion and I kept the ball gown and tuxedo right where we left them after our last visit to the Gold Ballroom. The Delaware Symphony’s Chamber Series, which takes place four times a year at approximately two month intervals, is not at all a stuffy affair... - [Not Your Average Tribute, Shine A Light On 1969 Also a Family Affair](https://inwilmde.com/blog/not-your-average-tribute-shine-light-1969-also-family-affair/) - There are tribute shows and then there are SPECTACULARS. Given the constant barrage of tribute concerts and throwback dance parties that a person can catch around Wilmington, with subject matter ranging from Led Zeppelin to “Sad and Boujee,” one could be excused from, at first, assuming Shine A Light is just another tribute show at The Queen. Anyone who has attended a past Shine A Light can tell you that assuming it is “just another” anything would be totally off base. It is a labor of love for all involved, a collective quest for musical greatness to counteract faltering arts education programming for 21st century kids... - [Wilmington Classical Guitar Society Strikes a Magnificent Chord Once Again](https://inwilmde.com/blog/wilmington-classical-guitar-society-strikes-magnificent-chord-once-again/) - The Wilmington Classical Guitar Society welcomed back the duo of guitarist Jeremy Lyons and soprano Lisa Perry and introduced rising-star guitarist Evan Conrad Saturday night at the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant.

Both come from the Latin root word ‘cultus’ which means ‘care.’ Here in Wilmington, we pride ourselves in our cultural offerings and our vibrant arts scene. But the arts don’t just happen in Wilmington; they are cultivated here—‘cared’ for, starting at a young age.

A quick northward turn from the center of Hockessin, or a scenic, winding, creekside drive from Greenville, will get you to Yorklyn, Delaware. It is a town of twisting and turning roads with a surprisingly large offering of arts, culture and recreation even before this brewery settled in and began offering regular events, including a newly-expanded series of music festivals... - [Serafins Summoned Bohemian Spirit on First Night of Chamber Music Festival](https://inwilmde.com/blog/serafins-summoned-bohemian-spirit-first-night-chamber-music-festival/) - Even a group as well-established as the Serafins must entertain questions and doubts when choosing a new identity. A string quartet which debuted in 2004 under the artistic direction of Kate Ransom, president and CEO of The Music School of Delaware, the group became the Serafin Ensemble earlier this year. The change opens new vistas of possibility in repertoire, instrumentation and collaboration. Already the roster has added piano, voice, double bass, flute and horn. But evolution isn’t always easy, especially in a chamber music world more comfortable with string quartets and a pop culture with a tendency to treat all “classical” music as antiquated... - [Valley Ride Music Festival IN Review](https://inwilmde.com/blog/valley-ride-fest/) - On a weekend when a good amount of Delaware music lovers headed south to Dover for the eighth iteration of Firefly Music Festival, a couple hundred decided to skip the traffic and head to Yorklyn instead for the inaugural Valley Ride Jam Band Music Festival at Dew Point Brewing Company. The sun was shining brightly Saturday on Creek Road, and patrons would be happy to see a ton of cotton-swab clouds pass over, providing shade during the six hours of live music.

Classic tale of repression turned into madness. Here’s a secret: I considered changing the spelling of my first name from Jill to Jhyl. Clever, right? I could reference both the Jekyll (good) and Hyde (evil) in my character in a shift of two letters. People would always assume I changed the spelling just to be pretentious and mess with the baristas at Brew Ha Ha, and yeah, the monster in me has a bit of an ego—so I wouldn’t argue the charges. Contrast that with the innocent delight of the upstanding, blog-writing, fan-girl half of my personality when I scored the plum assignment to review Wilmington Drama League’s Jekyll & Hyde, the musical... - [Oddity Bar Is Your Halloween Headquarters](https://inwilmde.com/blog/oddity-bar-your-halloween-headquarters/) - The place where UFOs, David Lynch and live music meet and mingle to create an experience like no other.

The Parish maintains two church complexes within a three mile range, one of which, Holy Trinity Church (also known as Old Swedes), is the eighteenth oldest church in America, established in 1698, and has housed an Episcopal parish since 1791. Yet its outlook is very 2019... - [OperaDelaware’s Spicy 75th Season Weaves Legends Beyond the Classic Tale of Carmen](https://inwilmde.com/blog/operadelaware’s-spicy-75th-season-weaves-legends-beyond-classic-tale-carmen/) - Beyonce. Anika Noni Rose. Olympians Katarina Witt and Brian Boitano. Dorothy Dandridge. Harry Belafonte. Pearl Bailey. There’s a reason these attractive contemporary icons have been attached to works inspired by Georges Bizet’s 1875 French opera: Carmen’s “Habanera” and “Toreador Song” are among the most widely known of all operatic arias, and the story is a passionate one.

And then along came Covid-19, the smallest of small stuff that is toppling our healthcare systems, playing havoc with our daily lives and overthrowing world economies. The first indications, back in mid-March, that this virus was going to shake our ways of life were the various edicts to ban gatherings of more than 100 people. Due to this restriction, concert venues were the first to feel the effects of what was to come for the rest of the arts and businesses in our country.

Actually, upon closer inspection, the fall season kicks off this weekend, and with it comes a healthy slate of fun festivals that will keep the weekends full ‘til Thanksgiving... - [Soul of the City INvades Downtown](https://inwilmde.com/blog/soul-city-invades-downtown/) - When you hear “homecoming,” you might think of parades, football and sashes. In some communities, a homecoming is a time to honor hometown connections through celebrations, often welcoming out-of-town guests, intergenerational participation, speaking opportunities, special music and a meal. Christina Cultural Arts Center (CCAC) and The Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew (SsAM) have launched a new Annual Homecoming Celebration for the Wilmington community. It offers dual events, targeted to both adults and children... - [NextFab Celebrates One Wilmington Year in the Making and Counting](https://inwilmde.com/blog/nextfab-celebrates-one-wilmington-year-making-and-counting/) - There’s an encouraging trend that’s beginning to take over downtown Wilmington of late.

It’s no doubt the best part of the haircut and it’s not on the menu at most strip-mall chop shops, but it is at Studio One Eleven on Market... - [Kingswood Community Center Heart of Riverside INvigoration](https://inwilmde.com/blog/kingswood-community-center-heart-riverside-invigoration/) - Kingswood Community Center has been the heart of the Riverside Community of Northeast Wilmington for over 70 years. Now, it is poised to become the heart of an even bigger movement. But just three-and-a-half years ago, prospects for Kingswood Community Center were bleak, to the point where its directors feared that they would have to shutter the institution... - [IN the Spotlight: Spaceboy Clothing](https://inwilmde.com/blog/spotlight-spaceboy-clothing/) - It’s a classic story: two artists get together, discuss their dreams, open a retail shop, and successfully grow into bigger and bigger spaces, frequently expanding their art offerings, and live happily ever after. No, wait, that’s not the way it usually works for artists. But most artists aren’t longtime friends David Sanchez and Noah Merenda, founders of Spaceboy Clothing... - [IN the Spotlight: Downtown Visions](https://inwilmde.com/blog/spotlight-downtown-visions/) - If you live, work or play in Downtown Wilmington, you’ve seen them: the Downtown Ambassadors. They’re the ones wearing the bright gold polos (or jackets depending on the time of the year) and affable smiles. Yet even while they’ve been a fixture on the streets of downtown’s business district for some two decades now, many might still be wondering who they are and what services are they providing to the downtown landscape? - [Yeah, but still…: Over-analyzIN’ Aubrey Plaza’s Late Show Appearance](https://inwilmde.com/blog/yeah-still…-over-analyzin’-aubrey-plaza’s-late-show-appearance/) - It doesn’t take much for a mention of our state to make the viral rounds in our city’s social circle. A mere hint of the name “Joe Biden” and Twitter and Facebook feeds of everyone from INfluencers to your great aunt go wild with extreme opinions from the widest of angles. Back when the film Fight Club revealed in its dialog its Delaware setting, we all went kinda crazy just hearing our city’s name, even without the aid of social media. Our small size and low population usually keeps us off the map of public interest and that, combined with an obvious identity crisis likely rooted in our proximal Mason-Dixon heritage and an agrarian/corporate economy, has led to a mix of prideful sharing and staunch defense from natives when there is mention of our home... - [West Side Grows…and Grows…and Grows](https://inwilmde.com/blog/west-side-grows…and-grows…and-grows/) - Due to its role as a center of commerce, a market street, or a main street, is often the focus of city revitalizations, and for Wilmington that generally also holds true. Therefore it takes voices from various parts of a city to ensure initiatives are born with a holistic eye toward the greater community. That’s - [Sarah Bee Honey](https://inwilmde.com/blog/sarah-bee-honey/) - Mark Fields likes to say he’s just two generations off the farm, but now, he spends his days just a couple floors below the hive. During the week, Mark is the executive director of The Grand Opera House, but on Saturday mornings like this one, he’s the head beekeeper and lead honey harvester at Sarah Bee Honey, Market’s biggest (and, as far as we know, only) hive operation. We asked Mark what he was thinking at the moment this picture was taken… - [One Hour. No Plans. Just Market-Part 2](https://inwilmde.com/blog/one-hour-no-plans-just-market-part-2/) - Last time we headed out on Market with a camera and no plans, it was early spring, and people were flocking outside. Today, we’re riding the edge of a heat wave on one of the last days of summer, and most people are sheltering in place with the AC blasting. But there are some folks still outside, as we start this tour where the last one left off, at 5th Street and outside The Queen… - [Makers Alley](https://inwilmde.com/blog/makers-alley/) - For weeks now, the glint of silver coming from an alley just off Market has hinted at good things to come … and good things are here. Maker’s Alley is open and welcoming guests at this crafty indoor/outdoor oasis that runs between Shipley and Orange streets near 8th. The silver Airstream kitchen outside pumps out an eclectic array of food, the bar is stocked with good finds, and according to General Manager Megan Babcock (who we talked to Tuesday, right before happy hour), people are already finding their way down the alley, and staying awhile: - [Milk and Honey](https://inwilmde.com/blog/milk-and-honey/) - A new community coffee house and art gallery opened in Wilmington’s Little Italy last month.

Once simply a method of transportation for ancient Fins, ice skating became a “modern” diversion upon invention of the steel blade by the 14th century, and eventually, manufactured ice. It’s been practiced by rich and poor, in cold climates far and wide, from the Netherlands to Song Dynasty China... - [15 Ways to #ShopSmall for the Holidays #inWilm](https://inwilmde.com/blog/15-ways-shopsmall-holidays-inwilm/) - So let us guess… you spent a little too much on Black Friday and Cyber Monday (hopefully Small Business Saturday too!) but now you’re realizing that not quite everyone is checked off your list, and with the clock winding down, you don’t want to risk some Amazon store pulling the wool over your eyes with a slew of not-so-truthful product reviews.

I am a sucker for a smushed-face puppy, and once we had one pug, we just stuck with the breed we knew and loved. So if you would have told me at the beginning of February that we would be adding a one-year-old Chihuahua-Shih Tzu mix to our household and that I would fall as hard for him as any of our pug pups, I would have said, “Impossible!” But it happened. My new love came into my life the day after Valentine’s Day. If you want proof of my total immersion in the experience, just ask my friends on social media who are getting full-on assault of my “Enzo” photos... - [StayIN' Fit Indoors](https://inwilmde.com/blog/stayin-fit-indoors/) - Now that our quarantine is official, your favorite gym or yoga studio has closed its doors and you might be left wondering where to go from here.

Talk about all the feels...Each park overview was a particular shot to the heart, as the changing weather brings with it the INtense urge to get out and explore. And with Earth Day on the horizon, I couldn’t help but think about all of the celebrations we’ll be missing out on—the chance to pick up tree seedlings in Rodney Square, explore and educate ourselves on the latest in conservation at Brandywine Zoo, Delaware Nature Society or Delaware Museum of Natural History—what’s Earth Day if we have to spend it INdoors? - [Harvesting a Second Chance](https://inwilmde.com/blog/harvesting-second-chance/) - On March 16, Second Chances Farm in Wilmington, Delaware, was harvesting its first crop of hydroponic produce to deliver to restaurants the next day.

We are all familiar with such a scene: a larger-than-life check that will never see the inside of a bank, smiling people, and the feel-good photo opp. And while the smiles may be obscured in these masked days of COVID-19, the goodwill is heightened. We all need a little good news, at this point in 2020, but it is more than that. Look a little closer at this scene and you will see an INtersection of everything the city of Wilmington has to offer—from corporate to non-profit, from history to culture, and from government to religion. All of this is on display on this sunny afternoon to celebrate Black lives and culture and promote social justice reform... - [This Lab Doesn’t Require Goggles](https://inwilmde.com/blog/lab-doesn’t-require-goggles/) - Seeing a pair of marketers in lab coats on a website might initially strike a potential client as out of place. In the case of one Wilmington media company, that impression would be wrong. Not only is one of Influencers Lab Media’s founders, Malcolm Coley, a chemist, but along with his partner Newton “Newdy” Felton, the pair creates STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) opportunities for young Wilmingtonians, along with business and learning opportunities for Wilmington’s black and brown children and adults. Felton, a Howard High School and Delaware State University business management and marketing graduate, holds the title of Director of Business Development at The Lab. He (correctly, based on this author’s knowledge) feels his strength is as an influencer and connector... - [Old Baltimore Speedway Rocks Shoreline](https://inwilmde.com/blog/old-baltimore-speedway-rocks-shoreline/) - It’s not very often that a band comes around that can gracefully combine both rock ‘n’ roll and country, as well as modern and classic styles. While Old Baltimore Speedway classifies themselves as “rock and roll”, they are much more than that.

It’s no doubt the best part of the haircut and it’s not on the menu at most strip-mall chop shops, but it is at Studio One Eleven on Market. The Gin Experience cut, that’s the one to get. The shampoo, the eyebrow trim, the razor shave on the neck, the hot towel treatment. It’s practically a spa visit in itself, but if you’ve got time to stick around for a pedicure or a chair massage, Ginny Rodgers offers that too on Market’s only male-focused spa.

Yet you still feel Carvertise’s presence every day on Market, every time you find yourself standing on a street corner and suddenly engaging with one of the 15-or-so campaigns that Carvertise currently has running in Delaware. So we asked Mac, every time we see a wrapped car … are they all Carvertising?: - [Fearless Improv Comes to Market](https://inwilmde.com/blog/fearless-improv-comes-market/) - Jana Savini starting making stuff up as a member of the Rubber Chickens at the University of Delaware, continued pulling stuff out of thin air at the Upright Citizens Brigade and bounced around the Philly improv scene before landing as the director of Fearless Improv, newly headquartered with City Theater Company at The Grand on Market. - [There Is Nothing Like a Dame… Iconic Great Dames Celebrate Ten Years](https://inwilmde.com/blog/there-nothing-dame…-iconic-great-dames-celebrate-ten-years/) - The first African-American dame to be named president of any college in Delaware. Producer dame of 1981’s “Mo' Tea, Miss Ann?,” the first major musical by a Delawarean at the DuPont Playhouse as well as an off-Broadway production. Founder of 2017’s “Stellar Start Up” (as awarded by the Philadelphia Inquirer) and a NAWBO “Young Entrepreneur of the Year” award-winning dame. Under the wrong circumstances, a woman would bristle at hearing the word dame, and it might not end well for a fella bandying the term about. (Merriam-Webster defines the word as “a woman of rank, station, or authority,” while recognizing that it is old-fashioned slang.)... - [Remembering Victims of Gun Violence Through Moving Spirituals Performance](https://inwilmde.com/blog/remembering-victims-gun-violence-through-moving-spirituals-performance/) - Countertenor Augstine (Gus) Mercante offered some perspectives on his long — and sometimes complicated — relationship with the African American spiritual in the program notes of his March 31 concert, There's a Man Going 'Round: Remembering Victims of Gun Violence, as part of The Arts at Trinity series at Trinity Episcopal Church in Wilmington. - ["HONK" If You Like DTC's New Family Production -- We Do!](https://inwilmde.com/blog/honk-if-you-dtcs-new-family-production-we-do/) - Have you ever felt like an ugly duckling, like you are different and you don’t fit in? That pretty much describes me from age 9 to age 16. Gangly, with a bad perm and glasses, I devoured stories like The Ugly Duckling to help keep the hope alive that some day I would fit in. - [The Spaceboy Clothing Voyage](https://inwilmde.com/blog/spaceboy-clothing-voyage/) - Spaceboy Clothing started its 10-year mission on Market in 2009. Now, one of Market’s most recognizable brands is ‘launching’ again, on a voyage across the street, boldly going into uncharted space (actually, the space formerly occupied by Jerry’s Artarama, but go with us here). In their new location, Spaceboy nearly triples in size. We chatted with Spaceboy owner/founder David Sanchez about going higher, further, faster into his second decade on Market, and how much of that success he owes to Amy Schumer… - [DE.CO Wilmington](https://inwilmde.com/blog/deco-wilmington/) - The ribbon is cut! DECO Wilmington opens for business... - [Shakespeare Day](https://inwilmde.com/blog/shakespeare-day/) - Three years ago, Delaware Shakespeare celebrated the first Shakespeare Day in front of the Grand Opera House and the crowds shut down Market. This year, the company stayed out of traffic and placed their scene inside the new Chelsea Plaza -- and to that stage, community members from throughout city came to recite lines from all 38 Shakespearean plays. (Chelsea Tavern and UDairy Creamery played their own starring roles, with Chelsea’s Joe Van Horn performing a few lines and the creamery creating a special “Winter’s Tale”-themed pear-flavored ice cream, with pear pieces and a graham swirl.) - [TeenSHARP Celebrates Ten Years #inWilm](https://inwilmde.com/blog/teensharp-celebrates-ten-years-inwilm/) - As a second-generation college graduate, I was familiar with the march toward postsecondary education that kicked off when my own kids entered high school. We did the online searches. (Okay, that part was new since I graduated high school.) Still, with the benefits of my flexible schedule, access to internet and transportation, and a knowledge of the system, we availed ourselves of twelve schools/university tours in four states, circling back to six universities for a second look. My husband and I made sure our kids had adequate SAT prep and participation in activities that would send their resumes to the top of the pile. We applied for grants and aid to supplement our college savings accounts. In the hot summers before their senior years, I huddled with each of my kids at the dining room table as they wrote their college essays. If you asked them, they would roll their eyes and tell you that having their writer mother hound them to “be more specific” and “find a better transition” was hardly an advantage. But to smart kids from low-income households or whose parents never went to college, it is the lack of this kind of guidance and accessibility that that puts otherwise excellent candidates at a disadvantage. In fact, 53% of low-income students do not apply to a single college that matches their grades and test scores. And only 16 percent enroll in a highly selective four-year college. - [Green Box is Growing](https://inwilmde.com/blog/green-box-growing/) - Wilmington Green Box has opened its gates for another summer of cold pressed juices at its Green Space on the 400 block of Market (and now at the Rodney Square Farmers’ Market on Wednesdays). But before the summer ends (fingers crossed, if construction goes well), it will be joined by Green Box Kitchen, a new fast-casual vegan restaurant that will offer takeout with seating for about 10-12 people on the corner of Fourth and Market. And that’s not even the biggest thing Green Box entrepreneur Jason Aviles has going on this summer… - [Gable Music Ventures: Jeremy Hebbel & Gayle Dillman](https://inwilmde.com/blog/gable-music-ventures-jeremy-hebbel-gayle-dillman/) - The roots of Gable Music Ventures run deep on Market. Seeds first planted in 2011 that have bloomed and branched out touch every block on the street, every business with a stage, and every nook and cranny where music could possibly fit. Owners Jeremy Hebbel and Gayle Dillman produce what Billboard magazine has called the nation’s “largest celebration of women in music,” the annual Ladybug Festival, and though their growing festival lineup now extends as far as Smyrna and Delaware City, they remain committed to the street where they started. We chatted with Jeremy (Gayle was, sadly, out of town) about many of the milestones they’ve passed along the way… - [IN the Mix - Millennial Summit](https://inwilmde.com/blog/mix-millennial-summit/) - Millennial Summit 2019 organizers and panelists are IN the Spotlight in this special #MillSummit edition of IN the Mix.

Sparks, a design and branding expert who previously lived and worked in the high-end markets of Madrid and New York (cough, cough Louis Vuitton)—decided to play to his strengths in his efforts to increase the couple’s social standing in their new home. So, he threw a dinner party. His effort had the desired effect—and then some. Not only did Sparks attract the community he craved in Richmond, he found his calling... - [IN Review: Torbert Street Social](https://inwilmde.com/blog/review-torbert-street-social/) - In some respects, Torbert Street Social doesn’t quite know what it wants to be. It wants to be a secret, tucked in behind other restaurants in Wilmington’s Business District. But its name is its location, so it isn’t quite the mystery its website wants you to believe it is. It wants to be a dark and edgy speak-easy, but it’s got a boisterous outdoor beer garden vibe happening, too... - [HBCU Week!](https://inwilmde.com/blog/hbcu-week/) - It is HBCU Week in Wilmington, and Magic Johnson is coming to visit.

It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes passionate individuals in the community to continue the work that guardians and teachers cannot always accomplish alone. Enter Richard Raw and AliShah - [#PhilanthropySoWhite #NonprofitsSoWhite](https://inwilmde.com/blog/philanthropysowhite-nonprofitssowhite/) - It is certainly no secret that the philanthropy and nonprofit sector in this country is led by white men. As a Black executive director, I consider myself fortunate, as I have been successful in this industry and have worked tirelessly to earn the respect of leaders in the sector. Despite my success, I face racism on a daily basis. I am not in this alone. Though there are few persons of color in executive positions, we agree that the lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion in a sector that is dedicated to social impact is problematic and has sustained a toxic culture of microaggressions and systemic racism... - [Sew Stylish](https://inwilmde.com/blog/sew-stylish/) - After being featured on Vogue.com in 2020, Wilmington-based designer Asata Beeks finally hits it big 2020 is a year that many people would like to forget.

From the highly anticipated opening of World Cafe Live at the Queen, to the quieter roll outs of smaller delis and lunch spots, 2011 gave downtowners more than one reason to say “Mmmmm.” If you haven’t been downtown in a while, start the year off right and come take a look at the progress of the redevelopment projects, grab a bite to eat at one of the new restaurants and then stop in and see what some of our “Main Street” merchants have to offer! - [Buckley's is dead.

But we also eat for other reasons. For instance, pleasure: we hunger for tasty, savory food. And health: for many, that means fresh, unprocessed ingredients; for some, it means organic or non-GMO foods; for others, it also means vegan. How about eating to support the local economy? That can mean purchasing from local farmers or patronizing non-corporate restaurants owned by neighbors. When we eat out, we usually hope to have a good experience, which could mean fast service, a good atmosphere, or both. Attempting to meet all of these requirements is a tall order for a restaurant, maybe an impossible one... - [La Fia Offering Sunday Brunch for OperaDelaware Festival](https://inwilmde.com/blog/la-fia-offering-sunday-brunch-operadelaware-festival/) - OperaDelaware announced this week that La Fia will be opening for brunch and dinner services for the next two Sundays (April 30 & May 7) as the 2017 OperaDelaware Festival brings hungry patrons to Market Street.

In other words, we’re old enough to know better. But it’s tough to shake old habits, so forgive us if we fail to act our age on this one night of the year. Or, act like we’re someone else, say…Donald Trump, Prince Harry or any of the Kardashians. Wilmington may be the place to be somebody, but on Halloween Loop night it’s the place to be somebody else. - [V-Trap Kitchen & Lounge: Wilmington’s New Vegan Spot](https://inwilmde.com/blog/v-trap-kitchen-lounge-wilmington’s-new-vegan-spot/) - If you are a vegan, you are used to skimming the perimeter of a menu looking for a leaf symbol or a bold-faced V to find those couple of entrees meant for you. It isn’t that you can’t find good vegan food in Wilmington, but why must its procurement feel like a treasure hunt? V-Trap Kitchen and Lounge, the new restaurant at 607 N. Lincoln Street in Wilmington’s Little Italy, turns that model of food service on its head. The entire menu is filled with vegan fare, but Ssh! you don’t have to tell your carnivorous friends.

The food is so healthy and addictive, it will ensnare those people in your circle who regularly dismiss the plant side of the menu. - [IN Review: A Night with the Underground Kitchen](https://inwilmde.com/blog/review-night-underground-kitchen/) - It is Sunday morning, and I am sipping a divine cup of French press (angels singing above) and eating cinnamon buns (Carrie Fisher belting out a Broadway tune in my head) in post-glow of a remarkable dinner party I attended last night. Coffee and pastry were part of the goodie bag I received as Aretha Franklin sang me out of the top-secret location where I spent three hours tucking in with a couple dozen strangers at my first—and Wilmington’s inaugural—Underground Kitchen (UGK) event. The décor was stunning. The food was…well, I’ll get to all those superlatives later. The way you really know it was a good party? It’s the morning after... - [Green Box Kitchen Blooms #inWilm](https://inwilmde.com/blog/green-box-kitchen-blooms-inwilm/) - Those who regularly traverse the 400 block of Market Street during the warmer months are familiar with the green space where Wilmington Green Box sells cold-pressed juices. The juices and the Green Box non-profit, started by Jason Aviles and partner John Naughton, have received a lot of press for the work they have done not only employing at-risk youth, but also bringing healthy options to the food desert—areas of the city that have limited access to nutritious food. “We see the demand for nutritious food in Wilmington is on the rise. We can’t keep up,” says Aviles. To that end, Green Box paired with Harvest House, a new restaurant in the Big Fish Restaurant Group, to make their juices more widely available. The public appetite for the product only increased to the point where Aviles and Naughton knew they had to think even further outside of the “Green Box,” so to speak... - [Shop: Faire Market & Cafe](https://inwilmde.com/blog/faire-market-cafe/) - Jim Still cut his chops in Austin, Texas, running a nightclub inside that city’s world famous Sixth Street entertainment district.

It just isn’t summer in Wilmington for me without them. And the shows! Always good, and this year’s Taming of the Shrew is most delightfully one of the best I’ve seen.

Tiffany’s career spanned from the 1870s through the 1920s, embracing virtually every artistic and decorative medium: painting, interiors, lighting, metalwork, pottery, enamels, jewelry, glass and mosaics. Of all his artistic endeavors, though, it is his work with stained glass — especially lamps — that has earned him the greatest recognition.

The play, one of William Shakespeare’s earlier works, is a madcap, slapstick, double mistaken-identity romp.True confession: While driving to the opening night performance at the beautiful Rockwood Mansion, this reviewer asked his Lovely Bride to pull up the play synopsis on her smartphone and read it to him. Arguably, to offer a written synopsis of the play will lead to frustration and confusion for both writer and reader – The Comedy of Errorssimply must be experienced. - [A Delicious War Erupts at the Delaware Theatre Company](https://inwilmde.com/blog/delicious-war-erupts-delaware-theatre-company/) - The North American premiere of Warren Adler’s tour de force black comedy The War of the Roses opens the Delaware Theatre Company (DTC’s) 2016-17 season.

Dramaturgically speaking, it’s a train wreck. In fact, scholars agree that the play was largely written not by the Bard but by a collaborator — and a hack at that. The plot is a meandering one that includes an incestuous king, two tempests at sea, marauding pirates, a maiden sold into a bordello and a reunion between said maiden and the father who thought her long dead. And if that’s not enough, there’s also a reunion between that self-same father and the wife he also thought long dead. Little wonder it’s so rarely performed. But for David Stradley, it was the perfect choice... - [Powerful Show, Powerful Message from DTC](https://inwilmde.com/blog/powerful-show-powerful-message-dtc/) - White Guy on the Bus proves to be a bold step forward for Executive Director Bud Martin and the rest of Delaware Theatre Company (DTC).
