SCHOOL'S OUT

The Eagle Hill Band will open up the summer season with an acoustic show at the Hedge House Lawn May 28th.

We just had a great show last night at Sweetwater Cafe in Boston, which was somewhat of a mini preview of our big July 3rd show – the stage was graced by Hitch from 3rd Left, The Eagle Hill Band acoustic, and a surprise appearance by Jake Hill. We’re still gearing up for the concert series, and it’s just about upon us. Only just under a month to go, and we’ll be sitting on the Hedge House Lawn soaking in some great summer tunes.

So now for one of my favorite things to do, announce the first show of the season when it’s right around the corner:

THE EAGLE HILL BAND ACOUSTIC
w/ Doug Logan
6pm @ The Hedge House Lawn
Free + all ages

I haven’t got to say that in a while, “free and all ages”. Feels good. Well, we’ve got 29 days until the big night, and we’ve got great things in store for everyone. We absolutely can’t wait.

And while you’re here, go to the Old Colony Memorial site and read about the Plymouth DPW overtime issue: ‘Threat to Thursday concerts raises question of union control’ (I also did a cartoon about it in the OCM). Yes, it is going to end up costing us about $360 per main stage show because the DPW union forces the town to open the stage w/ two workers who must be paid overtime for a minimum of 3 hours each for opening then closing the stage. That means we must cover a total of 12 hours of DPW labor at $30/hr per show. That’s a lot of money. And no, we don’t have it, by the way. (And they won’t allow for volunteers to the job.)You’ll be hearing much more about this very soon.

Until then, get excited for the Hedge House shows, which are completely unaffected by all that nonsense – it’s all going to be an incredible time. SEE YOU AT SHOW #1!!
