Fun stuff this weekend & beyond

[Bill Childs]

Lots of stuff to check out this weekend, folks:

First, on Saturday morning, listen to our show (7-9 on 93.9 The River,
8-10 on 103.3 Valley Free Radio) where we'll have local band School
for the Dead performing live and talking about Sunday's "Raise the
Roof" show (more below). Plus a bunch of other great music for
everyone.

After the show head over to Amherst for the Pop Rockets playing at the
Jones Library from 10:30 to 11:30.

And Sunday at 2:00, be sure to be at the Calvin for the Raise the Roof
benefit for First Churches' reconstruction, featuring Maria Sangiolo,
Primate Fiasco, Keith Munslow, School for the Dead, and many many
more. It'll be a terrific family-friendly concert. See http://iheg.com
for ticket information.

Other upcoming events:

Friday, April 25, 5:00 -- Brady Rymer and the Little Band that Could
Rock 'n' Roll Casserole potluck concert at Lyman Hall (at First
Churches). Bring a dish to pass, or don't, but come and enjoy this
incredibly roots-rock family band. Co-presented by us and Hilltown
Families.

Saturday, May 3 -- the first day of our new timeslot on Valley Free
Radio, where we'll now be on from 7-9 (just like on the River), to be
followed by our pals at the Hilltown Family Variety Show, which will
now be a full hour from 9 to 10.

Saturday, May 10, 10:00 -- Recess Rock (Aric Bieganek) CD release
party at Cup & Top Cafe (he'll be on the radio show the week prior
too)

Saturday, July 12, 3:00 -- The Sippy Cups at Pearl Street. Much more
to come about this show, but it'll be perhaps the kids' show of the
year.

Keep an eye on our blog at http://sparetherock.com to keep up on
family music events, etc.

Rock,
Bill & Ella & sometimes Liam
