OUTDOOR SHOWS COMING UP

My folk-rock duo, Knock on Wood, has performed about a dozen indoor shows so far and we’ll kick off our 11th outdoor season on June 25 in Kennebunk, Maine, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at beautiful Lafayette Park. This is one of our favorite venues and we always get a large, enthusiastic crowd. Just to keep things fresh, we’ve added a few new songs and will bring back a bunch of stuff we haven’t done in a while.

 

There’s one more outdoor concert in June (see below) and we have five in July. For the complete schedule, visit the Knock on Wood page. Hope to see you at a show.

ANNUAL FUNDRAISER JUNE 29

Knock on Wood’s fifth annual food pantry fundraiser is Sunday, June 29, 6-7:30 p.m. on the lawn at the First Baptist Church in Melrose, 561 Main St., from 6-7:30 p.m. This is a free outdoor concert. In the event of rain, we’ll go indoors at the church.

 

Last year’s show raised more than $1,000 for Pantry of Hope, a community food assistance program run by the First Baptist Church. We are once again partnering with this excellent program. We’ll be accepting donations at the show with all net proceeds going to the food pantry. If you can’t make it, advance donations are being accepted.

Thanks for your support.

​ONE MORE BASEBALL SHOW

I thought I was done with my Musical Baseball Shows for 2025 but got a call from the Georgetown Senior Center to do one on Tuesday, Aug. 12, at 1 p.m. If you’re in the neighborhood, check it out. These concerts have been really fun.

 

Baseball songs from my three baseball CDs, trivia, stories and other assorted craziness. For more info about the baseball shows – or to book one – visit www.howienewman.com/baseball-show

SHORT STOPS​

• In these trying times, don’t forget about Musicians for Democracy, a project that raises awareness of the threats to our freedom and supports leaders who uphold democratic principles. You can learn more about MFD, and purchase songs that support the cause, by visiting musiciansfordemocracy.org                                                                                                                                              

• The music video for Hannah’s Song has generated more than 400 views. It’s not exactly viral but mildly contagious. If you haven’t seen the video, please give it a look at www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT3Vv4MKD9Y                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

• A limited supply of free Trust Me, You’ll Like It T-shirts will be available at our outdoor shows. All you need to do is purchase the album, or a download, for a mere $12. Album plus a T-shirt for $12? What a deal.

 

It's almost summer!
