The stage at Flatbread was packed with instruments on Monday night and the dance floor filled with fans standing shoulder to shoulder. Deer Tick, an alternative rock band from Providence, R.I., was back in town after a two-year hiatus.

One of Edgartown’s properties with an interesting story has changed hands recently. What we know as the Vose property at Tower Hill started out in the 1890s as Quiet Corner. The house and its outbuildings, including the iconic boathouse, were built by Sol Smith Russell, a vaudeville star who became very successful as an actor and singer, but who made even more money as a real estate entrepreneur in Minneapolis.
