Cold Chocolate, a Boston-based duo that calls itself “a genre-bending Americana band,” makes its Cape Ann debut on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m., as part of the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation’s autumn-winter-spring series of concerts, lectures, silent movies and more. The location is the landmark 1806 Meetinghouse that is Gloucester’s oldest standing church and the home of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church.

With Ethan Robbins on vocals, guitar and mandolin and Ariel Bernstein on vocals, percussion and banjo, Cold Chocolate fuses folk, funk and bluegrass and has released five albums. Simon Waxman of The Boston Review wrote that Cold Chocolate’s high energy and original music “sounds softer than the dew on the mountainside, harder than a Harley pushing back red dust, and sweeter than true love."

With music for all ages, the band has shared bills with Leftover Salmon, David Grisman and Angelique Kidjo, and performed at festivals across the country.

The GMF Annual Fund is dedicated to raising the resources that are necessary to run the organization.  In 2026 the Meetinghouse will reach 220 years in service to Cape Ann, a miraculous survivor and centerpiece of the Historic District.  Our successful and ongoing mission is to preserve it as a cultural venue, civic hub and community gathering center. 

We are mostly volunteers but our paid executive assistant, Ashley Shedd, provides invaluable and efficient office support.  We also incur significant costs for building use, graphics, web hosting, marketing, advertising and other essential services.  This year we will be hiring additional professional staff for enhanced program growth, grant-writing, development, and planning for the upcoming Capital Campaign. 

Your generous contributions to the Annual Fund are central to facilitating our vision for a completely renovated and updated Meetinghouse, complementary to the new Sawyer Free Library and expanded Cape Ann Museum – an incomparable resource capable of hosting as many as 500 participants for community-focused forums, events and performances. 

Delivering on our great aspirations depends upon you.
