Martha's Vineyard-based six piece Entrain has been thrilling critics and fans alike since its inception. Formed by drummer Tom Major in 1993, Entrain is also conga/djembe/trombonist Sam Holmstock, and Lead Singer/guitarist wiz Brian Alex. Joining them is bassist M'Talewa,
saxophonist/percussionist Phillip Young and keyboardist Tony Falcetti. Veterans all, their collective resume includes stints with such diverse players as Bo Diddley, Carly Simon, Chuck Berry, Southside Johnny, James Montgomery, Flor De Cana, and Blood Sweet and Tears.

Entrain has recorded seven albums, available on Dolphin Safe Records, all of which have been praised for their ability to shift effortlessly between musical styles, from rock, blues, calypso and ska, to zydeco, jazz and funk. "The whole Entrain concept is based around the drums and infectious rhythms. Once we've got that.... anything goes, everything goes," explains Major. As Sam Holmstock says, "The most important thing that we try to do with our music is bring everybody together in the spirit of peace, love, fun and a ton of drums!"

The Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team has been instrumental in preserving a unique kind of wetland habitat on the North Shore for 20 years. A Federal 501(c)3 non-profit since 2006, CAVPT is a group of volunteers dedicated to ensuring these special habitats are protected, and to raise awareness about the rich diversity of life they support.

The mission of Kestrel Educational Adventures is to deliver integrated place-based education programs that teach ecological literacy and science in a way that is connected with nature and makes learning personally relevant, memorable, and fun for each student.
