At the Carle…and at the Pines…and at Taste of Amherst
Quick reminder about tomorrow’s show and a longer-term reminder to jot some things down on your calendar.
First, tomorrow at 1, we’ve got Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem playing the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. Tickets are just $6 at the door, and benefit the Northampton Community Music Center. This is a must-see band, and if you’ve seen them, you must see them again.
We’ve also got most of the next season lined up:
8.7.10 • Princess Katie & Racer Steve
10.23.10 • Gustafer Yellowgold
1.22.11 • Royal Order of Chords & Keys
3.12.11 • Debbie & Friends
Also, this Sunday, Mister G, Primate Fiasco, and School for the Dead will be on the River Soundstage at Taste of Amherst for the Meltdown afternoon. Free music for the whole family!
Finally, and I’ll write a lot more about this, especially once we confirm the rest of the lineup, but on September 26 at the Pines Theater, we’ll have a CD release show for the Many Hands CD, featuring Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem and the Deedle Deedle Dees. As alluded to, there will be more on that lineup — some pretty amazing additions, I hope — but for now, just be sure to write that date down.
