SCHOOL'S OUT

Concert series founders, Jon Dorn, Scott McEwen, and Harry Quinn will be on the radio this week talking about the series.

Don’t adjust your dial, that’s really us on the radio. Brewster Productions will be taking the airwaves by storm (relatively speaking…) this week with 2 (yes two!) radio appearances to talk about the concert series and share some music. You can listen to Scott, Harry, and I on WATD 95.9 tonight (Mon. 6/7) from 9-10pm on South Shore Live (click the link to listen live online). Then on Wednesday 6/9, I’m going to guest DJ on Harry’s radio show on WUML (listen online at wuml.org) from 12-2pm. The recap:

1. MONDAY 6/7, 9-10pm: WATD 95.9 (listen online: South Shore Live) – Scott, Harry, and Jon talk about the concerts and play local music

2. WEDNESDAY 6/9, 12-2pm: WUML (listen online: wuml.org) – Harry and Jon talk and play music

So whether you listen on the radio or the World Wide Interweb, check out the shows, they’ll be fun!

Big news from the Old Colony Memorial yesterday – the Town is in talks to give the Showmobile (the trailer stage aka “the main stage”) to the Chamber of Commerce, who will allow volunteers to open it.

PLYMOUTH – Event organizers saddled with the added cost of overtime pay for public works employees to open and close the town’s portable stage, known as the showmobile, say they will be forced to cancel free summer concerts or at least seriously curtail them.

But there may be a solution.

Town Manager Mark Stankiewicz has pitched a plan to give the town-owned showmobile to the Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce, which, in turn, would enlist volunteers to open and close the stage for free, or at very little cost.
