DALTON, Mass. — The Grammy-nominated band Crash Test Dummies will perform live at the Stationery Factory on March 11.
The Canadian rock band was originally scheduled to perform in May 2020 but the show was canceled in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The band rescheduled their Berkshire County stop on the 30th anniversary tour to Friday, March 11.
"We have been so excited with the response to the 25th-anniversary tour that we knew we had to continue the party and celebrate 30 years since we made our first album. We had no idea that fans would be so enthusiastic and we are all a little gob-smacked that we can still play sold-out shows to our fans and, awesomely enough, their kids," said original band member Ellen Reid.
The concert starts at 8 p.m. Click here for more information.
Thirty years ago, the Crash Test Dummies recorded their debut album "The Ghosts That Haunt Me.'' It garnered them their first hit in "Superman's Song," and a Juno Award for Group of the Year. They carried that momentum into their successful and multi-Grammy nominated "God Shuffled His Feet," released in 1993. This album, which went double platinum in the United States, included the popular song "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm."
Setlists will include hits from the band's catalog. Original members Reid, Brad Roberts, Dan Roberts, and Mitch Dorge will be joined onstage by Stuart Cameron and Marc Arnould.
The Stationery Factory houses local businesses and community events. On the main stage, both local talent and national touring acts perform.

Pittsfield, Central Berkshire Get Life Science Grants
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Pittsfield and the Central Berkshire Regional School District are among 400 organizations getting $12.3 million for education and workforce development.
The announced disbursement was made on Thursday in Waltham for the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center's Education and Workforce Development Grant Program.
A total of 68 awards will support more than 400 public schools, colleges, and non-profit organizations across Massachusetts through four tracks: Elementary and Secondary Education, Out-of-School Time (OST), Post-secondary Education and Training, and "Gamechanger" matching grants.
The Pittsfield Public Schools and Central Berkshire will receive $36,000 and $17,843, respectively, in Elementary and Secondary Education Grants. These are two of 23 grants totaling more than $2.4 million to support more than 170 public schools.
The funding will provide hands-on/applied learning for students in Grades 3-12 while supporting professional development for teachers and the purchase of life sciences equipment, materials, supplies, and technology.
The Berkshire Innovation Center is getting $24,000 in Out-of-School Time Grants. It is one of 21 nonprofit organizations receiving nearly $600,000 total to provide life sciences programming beyond the traditional school day.
Together, these investments are designed to expand access to hands-on life sciences education, OST learning opportunities, industry-aligned certificate and degree programs, and transformational workforce development initiatives that strengthen the life sciences talent pipeline and prepare learners for careers in the life sciences.
