Nields “Organic Farm” DVD Release Party

Jun 02

We’re crazy lucky to have The Nields here in the Pioneer Valley.  They’ve got a super fun new DVD, “Organic Farm,” out now, and they’re having a DVD release party for it at the lovely Tuesday Market in just a couple of weeks – Tuesday, June 15, from 2:30 to 5:30.

And of course, don’t forget that they’re playing the Meltdown Stage at the Green River Festival!
