Music will fill the second hour, provided by first-time FNC performer Phil Nolan. If you live in Ashfield you know Phil, perhaps because you were also born and raised in the town, but definitely because you see him each week at the Transfer Station where he has run the show since 1987! Phil will bring his guitar and play some of his original "transfer station blues".
The show is from 7:00 - 9:00 at the Village Church in beautiful downtown Cummington in the heart of the Cummington Cultural District.
The event is free, donations are appreciated, snacks are provided, BYO drinks. The show will take place in the intimate Vestry space. Masks are welcome, and encouraged. Once again brought to you by the friendly folks at the Village Church who believe music can be a powerful force for building community.
Friday Night Cafe receives promotional support from the Cummington Cultural District, and is supported in part by grants from the Chesterfield, Cummington, Goshen, Hinsdale-Peru, Plainfield, Williamsburg, Windsor, and Worthington Cultural Councils, local agencies which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
