SEE YOU IN THE PARLOR
Northampton’s Parlor Room has two Valley favorites on tap this week. Actually, Brooks Williams, who plays Friday at 7 p.m., now lives in England, but the former Northamptonite has long been known in these parts for his stellar acoustic guitar work and bluesy vocals. And on March 24 and 25, chamber-pop specialists Winterpills will debut a new, full-band album, “Love Songs.” signaturesoundspresents.com

The Eric Carle Museum in Amherst has just unveiled a new exhibit dedicated to the work of Leonard Weisgard, a seminal 20th-century children’s book illustrator who brought modernism to picture books and often collaborated with Margaret Wise Brown, of “Goodnight Moon” fame. carlemuseum.org
