The Fawns at Laurel Park Northampton, MA

This Saturday, while I'll be up in the back-nowheres-woods of Maine, the rest of The Fawns will be playing a free outdoor concert! Have you been to Laurel Park in Northampton, MA? Oh man. First of all, it's not a park. It's a little neighborhood. It's a strange little elf-like neighborhood with colorful houses ranging in size from gnome-nest to regular house. If you haven't checked it out, you should, and this is your perfect chance... for they are having a FREE and ALL AGES outdoor event. Here it is in their words:
