Newton Free Library
330 Homer St, Newton, MA
We're delighted to be returning to the Newton Free Library, home to many of our friends.** This being Newton, we can expect a highly erudite and educated audience - writers, rabbis, experts on early New Orleans cornet players, doctors, that sort of thing.

And what will all these movers and shakers be doing at 2 PM, Sunday, June 9th? Moving and shaking to the infectious groove of Boston's favorite jug band! Come down for an entertaining and edifying afternoon!

**Our friends live in Newton, that is, not the library per se. At least, we hope that they are not lurking at night, gollum-like, in the inky depths of the stacks. To wit, we trust they have someplace to go when the library closes. But we digress.

Alexander's Jazz Time Band!
1 Grafton Common, Grafton, MA, United States, 01519
Chris is playing rhythm guitar and singing lead w Alexander's Jazz Time Band in a concert in Grafton. It's a tuba instead of a jug and a cornet and trombone instead of kazoos, but they play with a lot of spirit nonetheless. A top-notch big band playing stock charts from the late 20s and early 30s will make a joyful noise.
