A Night Of Music In Memory Of Melissa Rich Mulcahy

This week is all about this HUGE and IMPORTANT benefit that we are having this Friday (November 14th) here in Northampton, MA.

On Friday, November 14th, at 7:30PM, local Pioneer Valley musicians will be hosting An Evening of Music in Memory of Melissa Rich Mulcahy, who died unexpectedly on September 13th. She was a dear friend to many musicians in the community and an avid supporter of their endeavors. The concert, to be held at the Northampton Center for the Arts in downtown Northampton, is an opportunity to celebrate her tremendous spirit and her love of music. All proceeds from the event will go directly to her family.

The concert will start off with special performances by such local favorites as: Winterpills, Lo Fine, The Fawns, Spouse, National Carpet, School for the Dead, Aloha Steamtrain, Spanish for Hitchhiking, Haunt, The Claudia Malibu, Sitting Next to Brian, Jason Bourgeois, Trallfazz, The Caroline Know, The Humming Field, Zeke Fiddler, Steve Westfield, The Drunk Stuntmen, and others. New Haven-based musicians, Mr. Ray, The Mountain Movers, and Jeff Greene (Butterflies of Love) will feature in the latter portion of the event, along with a special performance by renowned Dinosaur Jr. front-man, J Mascis.

There will be a number of items raffled off throughout the evening, including an electric guitar autographed by participating musicians, handmade crafts, works of art, gift certificates, and CDs. Additionally, the merchandise area will feature arts/craft items produced by friends of Melissa Rich Mulcahy, in addition to albums and t-shirts donated by the bands.

Advance tickets are available at Pleasant Street Video in Northampton, and the Apollo Grill in Easthampton (Eastworks Bldg.), as well as online at rubwrongways.com. Ticket price is a suggested donation of $20.
