Looking for inspiration? Hope? Come to 9 Wallis on Saturday, February 18th. Join YES! Magazine co-founder Sarah van Gelder as she shares stories and photos from her 12,000-mile journey "through a new America," chronicled in her new book The Revolution Where You Live. Meet Sarah after her presentation and she'll sign her new book, which will be made available for sale courtesy of Cabot Street Books & Cards.
The Revolution Where You Live tells the story of Sarah's solo road trip around the United States, seeking out the people who are making change happen--change that is deep enough to transform the crises of our time into opportunities for new ways of life that are more sustainable and just.
Then enjoy music by one of the North Shore's top rising stars, Quentin Callewaert -- a sixteen-year-old guitar prodigy (with an excellent voice) whom you may have seen when we had him open for Edgar Winter back in October.
Engage in the future of America and the future of music -- all in one revolutionary night out!

See Sarah's full bio here.Sixteen-year-old Massachusetts native Quentin Callewaert has been playing guitar since he was nine. He played his first concert when he was ten and has played at many events and venues since then. Despite his young age, he has already shared the stage with many great guitarists such as Stephen Bennett, Trace Bundy and Tommy Emmanuel. Lyle Lovett saw one of his videos and was so impressed that he invited Quentin to meet him when he played on Cape Cod a few years ago. They have met a few times since and it was Lyle who encouraged Quentin to start singing.
About 17 miles north of Boston, award-winning 9 Wallis is a gorgeous, fully restored, historic location conveniently situated in the heart of Downtown Beverly's Arts District at 9 Wallis Street, right next to the Larcom Theatre -- less than half a mile from the Beverly Depot rail station and 3 miles from Route 128, with plenty of nearby parking (see map).
In April 2017, after 4 years of presenting over a hundred shows at Beverly's Larcom Theatre (featuring Grammy-winners, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers and platinum recording artist), gimmeLIVE's owners Peter and Vickie Van Ness, transformed 9 Wallis into the most intimate, elegant listening room north of Boston with comfortable seating at tables, plus food & beverage service offering fine wines, local craft beers, specialty cocktails (featuring local distilleries and all-natural juices) and top-shelf spirits.
In August 2018, Peter and Vickie were presented with the Boston Blues Society's Keeping the Blues Alive Award for their work at 9 Wallis.
Because of its beautifully restored, tremendously flexible space with the best dance floor on Boston's North Shore, 9 Wallis has become a favorite venue for fundraisers, private parties and corporate events. Local charities have raised thousands of dollars at 9 Wallis (see examples). With world-class entertainment, an event can begin as a cocktail party or fully seated dinner...then transform into a nightclub-style dance party with concert quality sound and stage lighting.
