will rock for food--update!!!

honest--there isn't a coordinated plan to spam the blog with daily "will rock for food" posts, but the sun today has volunteered a story on the great venue, brian's ivy hall, and it's new management team, and it's too good not to link for those who might be curious.

who knew it used to be a church, but it's clear the moment you walk into the space that the "swooping blue ceilings and ornate white molding" give brian's ivy hall an ambiance that sets it apart. owners kevin, brian, eric and sean are being incredibly helpful and generous with their assistance in setting up and holding the "will rock for food" event, (the new entry sustainable farming project and the merrimack valley food bank are already grateful, and the audience soon will realize how much they are, too), and it's a great space in which to set up and see the great musicians lined up to play the event. (have you memorized them yet? peter lavender, melvern taylor and his fabulous meltones, jen kearney and the lost onion and treat her right). sound will be courtesy of fastlane productions, and stay tuned for news on bar specials and other special treats to make it a party to remember.

still time to put in a word if you'd like to participate in the merchandise area, where local artists and artisans are invited to show off a little bit more of what makes lowell so special. there will also be upcoming announcements on how you can do more to support the new entry sustainable farming project and their world PEAS CSA, as well as the merrimack valley food bank, so be sure, if you haven't already, to put sunday, august 29th on your calendar. it's going to be great!

edited to add the date and time: sunday, august 29th at 4pm till 11. see you there!
