Page 22 CONCERT | FROM PAGE 10 a child in Texas and took to singing folk songs, Spanish traditional tunes, and ballads. Lamb honed her vocal craft as a classical musician, exploring concert singing and opera in college and later in Vienna, Austria. Back home in the United States, she took time to raise a family in Massachusetts, and she eventually found her way back to her first love: American music. Once her children were launched, she picked up the guitar and started playing and singing covers while practicing and listening to whatever music came her way. Strongly influenced by the vibrant local music community, she started writing originals and rebranded herself as a singer-songwriter. She just recorded her first album of originals, Not Your Mama’s Blues, and performs across New England at a variety of venues from cafes, coffeehouses and restaurants to small concert stages, porch fests and farmers’ markets, singing and playing her heart out. Kenny Selcer will accompany Roberta. Wild Maple is Gary Dolinsky on guitar and vocals, Trish DeCaprio on violin and vocals and Steve Straight on acoustic bass and vocals. The group’s original songs are influenced by a variety of music genres: Americana/roots, blues, bluegrass, classic country, folk, Celtic, popular music of the past 60 years and classical. Music critics have praised Wild Maple’s “appealing and polished sound” with both male and female lead vocals and “sensational vocal harmonies.” Recent performances include Club Passim in Cambridge, the Guilford Performing Arts Festival in Guilford, Conn., and the Crane Estate in Ipswich, Mass. Wild Maple’s lively shows include a healthy dose of relaxed fun, humor and audience engagement. The show begins early at 7:30 p.m.; doors open at 7:00. Homemade baked goods and beverages are available. Tickets at the door are specially priced – just a $5 minimum donation for this show to introduce the World of Folk and Acoustic Music to area residents.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Wednesday, November 27, 2019 EASTERN AVE. | FROM PAGE 3 juana cultivation and extraction business in Maine, would be Craft Cultivation’s chief operating officer. “He seemed sincere and passionate about the industry,” said Molis. Like other members of the commission, Molis was impressed with Crumb’s emphasis on the quality of the product Craft Cultivation intends to produce. “Their goal is to make a product where the quality has some appeal because the process is pure, and more organically or environmentally friendly,” said Molis, adding that he liked the idea of products made in Malden. Commission members also liked Craft Cultivation’s threepronged proposal that would allow them to supply other local retail marijuana shops. Molis also felt the business would enhance a blighted section of the city and would not cause any problems for residents who live nearby. “The location is ideal but they have some parking issues to figure out,” said Building Commissioner Nelson Miller, who is also a member of the Cannabis Commission. The building has 13 existing parking spots and the business needs at least 21 spaces. The Heffernans plan to lease additional space for parking on an adjacent lot. CLEC Member Jenelle DeVits pushed to move the proposal for The Frosty Nug forward in the licensing process. The proposed location for the Frosty Nug shop is 639 Broadway, in a building now occupied by a pizza shop. But the commission has already approved MassMedicum’s proposal for a retail shop across the street at 616 Broadway, and that company is now heading into a special permit hearing with the City Council. MassMedicum faced some vocal opposition during the required community outreach meeting held at Linden STEAM Academy last month. Angry residents, who felt they were not given adequate notification of MassMedicum’s plan, opposed siting a retail marijuana business in a densely populated neighborhood across the street from a daycare center. DeVits suggested that the commission could approve GRANTS | FROM PAGE 6 stars and placing them on walls across the school to inspire and motivate students – along with a host of creative fundraising activities. “This served as a reminder that with a community working together, we could provide renewed hope and the Frosty Nug proposal and then leave it to the neighbors and the City Council to decide between that business and MassMedicum. But Ron Hogan, who chairs the Cannabis Commission, felt it would be unfair to throw another proposal for a retail marijuana business at the neighbors. Hogan also suggested it would be unfair to applicants who are investing time and money to pursue local retail licenses. “There’s no scenario that the City Council would approve that has two of these across the street from one another,” he said. Still, Hogan said that the multistep licensing process is fluid and proposals that have been approved by the commission may hit roadblocks further on with the City Council, the mayor and the state. And that could open up opportunities for other applicants who are still hoping for the chance to launch a retail marijuana business in Malden. uplifting joy when it is needed most,” said Malden Catholic Girls Division Principal Lisa Cenca, program lead. Malden Catholic’s Make-AWish Club also recently announced its fundraising plans to fulfill another wish through a second donation of $10,000 at the end of 2020.
