Prateek, Live at Eclipse Fusion

Photo by Stephanie Houten. Come celebrate our 6th birthday with us at the Allston Abbey, a beautiful venue owned by some dance friends. Prateek, a local Somerville artist, will be performing live! SCHEDULE 7pm–8pm Close embrace lesson with Stephen York 8pm–11pm Live music from Prateek and DJ'd music by Amy Blank ABOUT PRATEEK “Not just any guy with a guitar... Prateek’s honest, elegant songcraft and luminous voice capture the ear and heart immediately.” - The Boston Globe “... stripped down, honest heartbreak...” - Vanyaland With his heartbreakingly powerful voice and incisive lyrics, Prateek (pruh - TEEK) has been described as “Not just any guy with a guitar…” by The Boston Globe. When you hear his music, you'll believe it too. Evolving away from the spare, Dylan-esque sound of his first EP, Prateek’s latest album “‘Til June” adds gritty electric guitars, silvery backing vocals, and a driving rhythm section, all in service of his tightly written, evocative songcraft. Prateek has been a Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Finalist and has been nominated for Singer-Songwriter of the Year at both the New England Music Awards and the Boston Music Awards. His music has seen rotation all over the radio including Sirius XM, 98.9 WERS, and 92.5 The River. Listen to "'Til June" now wherever music is sold or streamed. IMPORANT INFORMATION ABOUT MASKING AND TESTING This event is mask optional. HOWEVER, COVID testing is required. You can bring a picture of a negative result from the past 24 hours. We will have free COVID tests in case you need one. As always, we welcome and encourage masks, especially at this time of year. We will provide masks for anyone who wants one for the evening. Included in your admission: • COVID test • Mask, if you need (not required) • Close embrace lesson • Live music • Refreshments during the social ENTRY: Sliding scale, $15–40 (suggested: $28) Volunteers attend for free. If it's your first time attending, ask for a coupon for a free future entry. Note: Our entry fee is higher than for our regular events. This is to account for a longer rental of the venue, our live band, DJ, instructor, abundant snacks, COVID tests, and more. VOLUNTEERS: We are looking for volunteers for this event and future ones! Please let us know if you’d like to help out by emailing us or messaging us on Facebook. You must have attended a previous Eclipse event in order to volunteer. Your admission will be covered if you volunteer.

SCENTED PRODUCTS: Please refrain from wearing scented products such as perfume, cologne, or fragrant personal care products. PARKING ​Street Parking: Commonwealth Avenue or Brighton Avenue. You can find a parking map here:&nbsp;<a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Ffile%2Fd%2F1xWRgpPmz-e8OSZtpkUVdoIjWUZgMkMHW%2Fview%3Fusp%3Dsharing%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExblpVSmhGa1NvT3VYU251cnNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4Z178bZnmvZ_VK74RWu48HBiaGirukafA-Ok3SMeg4YoePj7n2PSw1P3OCzg_aem__fuw-ynFC2SGCQuBjvmVGw&amp;h=AT1tBEIrNR8rmrsQ-Eh7E_3bZhKBALIvF1J6zPAKgb2VNuk7ZPu1zPSJSgKk6NzdFw2E6dQYw0GiFjV3XsZzWq8mH73271pqb4lMHr6yHsNlR7LWrwavH6kaf0eIDYy_tXvr-n4Cw1mNmkC0wG8FRsyFubA9xjMA&amp;__tn__=q&amp;c[0]=AT2a-n9ErksH_gcbwR2KteAxhpmJiAexauADLhbQ_jUwZbwNR7FtqCF_ijN4XtKE0c8kSGPTn__ULlqKFFb1baRrJuqMNLp3Q12uzjkSRMFj-xcLTiny_A-VrdsTZfrXeMfcYGbeDjaOCq0CVBB01fiay52j6QoV4ek">https://drive.google.com/.../1xWRgpPmz.../view...</a>. The area marked in light blue had 2 hour parking signs for Mon-Fri, so you will be good for the weekend. The areas marked in orange are places where you’ll find 2 hour limit meters, meaning if you pay at the meter FIRST and then via the app you don’t have to come back outside to pay for the meter. ​​Parking - Garage: If you wish to drive into Boston but not search for parking near the venue, we suggest parking at the Boston Common Garage downtown then making your way to Allston. You can pre-pay for a parking pass from us for $10 online or purchase once you arrive at the venue (you can park your car at the garage first). Pick up the pass when you check in at the front desk. First, use this pass when exiting, then insert the ticket you were issued by the machine. ​Public Transit: • MBTA B Line: Packard's Corner - 3 min walk or Harvard Ave - 5 min walk • 57 bus: Brighton Ave @ Comm Ave - 2 min walk; Brighton Ave @ Malvern St - 6 min walk • 66 bus: Harvard Ave @ Brighton Ave - 7 min walk If none of these transit options sound appealing, you can find a carpool here:&nbsp;<a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fspreadsheets%2Fd%2F1Y2sC9sbFFRasNnQDsjOqjBi24HcBcCMNMKaE-0NabRs%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExblpVSmhGa1NvT3VYU251cnNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4xUA36gIU0y0bIBMRD-VqiMutWZtekwiTroOF-ljq90bZF3rhR6T_UqUFH1w_aem_KZSrklm4zQbBQWSxoP2MMg&amp;h=AT3o_5Vk77kh81PHM3JNgu6NdbqL6uufH1FnrIqzpacAZ3wlZMVJjqzo_pcCtbz5OanFah1fdk-mX-j7WjYtn3Kii4NTKnzY_mTQyVaN2diDbEVvL_uE0oP-TVqPCcJsS54F-9S5-uulGXrEKL-B-crfr-mxG_5k&amp;__tn__=q&amp;c[0]=AT2a-n9ErksH_gcbwR2KteAxhpmJiAexauADLhbQ_jUwZbwNR7FtqCF_ijN4XtKE0c8kSGPTn__ULlqKFFb1baRrJuqMNLp3Q12uzjkSRMFj-xcLTiny_A-VrdsTZfrXeMfcYGbeDjaOCq0CVBB01fiay52j6QoV4ek">https://docs.google.com/.../1Y2sC9sbFFRasNnQDsjOq.../edit...</a> ​​​Other information: • Gender neutral bathroom. • Space is wheelchair accessible. • Refreshments (more than at our usual events) will be provided.
