Ezra Prior to perform ‘Going for Broke’

The LAVA Center at 324 Main St. will present local musician Ezra Prior, performing “Going for Broke,” on Friday, Aug. 25, from 7 to 10 p.m.

Prior is a western Massachusetts native who, during the COVID-19 quarantine, wrote, recorded and produced “Going for Broke,” a tangential, tightly wound, yet goofy trip through wanderings of a mind of someone with a brain injury and time to spare. Its music video “Pretty Pose Particles,” produced by Ryan Arnold, was featured in last year’s LAVA Film Festival. The music video can be viewed at bit.ly/44isiKm.

There is a $5 to $10 suggested donation, online at bit.ly/47GqNs2 or at the door. For more information about Prior, visit ezraprior.com.

Next installment in Local Filmmaker Series set for Aug. 31

The LAVA Center at 324 Main St. continues its Local Filmmaker Series on Thursday, Aug. 31, at 6 p.m. with Althea Levin Rieff Keaton.

The following short films will be screened and discussed: “Althea, 2017: The Marriage Question,” “Anonymous, 2018: I Knew,” “Out of the Blue,” “Head Space” and “Growth.”

Levin Rieff Keaton is a western Massachusetts writer, artist and arts educator. They received their master’s degree in studio arts from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2019. Visit alrkeaton.com to view more of their work.
