Weathersfield News December 30, 2015
Happy New Year! I'm sitting here
writing, trying to decide how to spend New Year's Eve. What do you folks do? Do
you go out to dinner? Head to a bar for a live band? Drive to Boston ,
Burlington , or Claremont for "First Night" or just
hang out at home and watch the celebrations on TV? If you'd like to head out,
there are a lot of very cool things planned in the area (see below.) Whatever
you do, I hope you have a very Happy New Year!
Saw a great show in White River Junction Sunday afternoon. The Briggs Opera House hosted a Yellowhoue Media show- Brooks Hubbard EP Release party.
Brooks Hubbard, a Mascoma High School graduate who is just back from recording in Nashville performed for a SOLD OUT audience. He was joined on stage by Val McCallum-who grew up in Brownsville and performs with Jackson Browne. At one point Brooks's father left the sound board and joined Brooks and Val on stage for a Jackson Browne/Eagle's song.
A former classmate of Brooks-Hannah Hoffman opened the show.
