Berkshire Theatre Group presents Four Sticks, the Music of Led Zeppelin at the Colonial Theatre
Pittsfield— On Saturday, April 4th at 7:30 p.m., Berkshire Theatre Group presents Four Sticks, the Music of Led Zeppelin at the Colonial Theatre.
Composed of seasoned NYC session and touring musicians, Four Sticks brings a deep musical command to the stage. Each member steps into the role of their Zeppelin counterpart with remarkable fidelity: soaring vocals in the spirit of Robert Plant, thunderous and dynamic drumming worthy of John Bonham, masterful guitar work capturing the tone and creativity of Jimmy Page, and a versatile multi-instrumentalist handling bass, keys, mandolin, and harmonies—just as John Paul Jones did. The result is not just a tribute, but a full-bodied live experience that resonates with both longtime devotees and new fans alike.

Monterey Historical Society, Monterey Library, and the Bidwell House Museum present final programs to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Henry Knox’s Noble Trail of Artillery through southern Berkshires
Monterey— On April 11th and April 16th, the Monterey Historical Society, Monterey Library, and Bidwell House Museum present the final two programs to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Henry Knox’s Noble Trail of Artillery through southern Berkshires.
Beginning in December of 1775 from Fort Ticonderoga in New York, twenty-five-year-old Henry Knox led an expedition to move 60 tons of captured British artillery to the Continental army in Boston in order to force the British to evacuate the city. Knox’s journey took three months, taking through the Berkshires in January of 1776, during the depths of winter, using little more than ox and horse-drawn sledges and manpower.

On Saturday, April 11th at 10 a.m., there will be a guided walk on the Knox Trail. The program begins around a bonfire at the Bidwell House, located at 100 Art School Road in Monterey. Rob Hoogs will introduce the story of the Knox Trail and Henry Knox’s journey through Monterey. Then, as you walk, you can imagine the teamsters pulling 60 tons of cannons through those very rough roads and mountains. Admission is free. Registration and more information can be found online.
On Thursday, April 16th at 7 p.m., Tom Ragusa will deliver the final talk in the Knox Trail lecture series. Ragusa has spent almost twenty years researching and documenting the location of the old “Great Road” road through Sandisfield and Otis. It is the longest undisturbed stretch of the historic road in Western Massachusetts, and was used by Henry Knox and countless others through “The Greenwoods.” Ragusa is retired from a 42-year career with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. He is a long-term member of the Otis Historical Commission and is one of the authors of the upcoming book “Ye Trodden Path.” The talk will be held at the Monterey Library, located at 452 Main Road in Monterey. It will also be available to watch on Zoom. Admission is free. Registration and more information can be found online.
