KOW26 IN FULL SWING
My folk-rock duo, Knock on Wood, will kick off the 2026 Resist and Regroup Tour on Wednesday, March 4, at the Parlin Memorial Library in Everett. The fun starts at 7 p.m.
There are 12 more concerts on the docket as of now and many more on the horizon. For the latest schedule updates and other assorted propaganda, visit www.howienewman.com/knockonwood
NEW VIDS
Speaking of Knock on Wood, we have some new videos to share. These were recorded at our outdoor show on the Foxboro Common last August. Check it out: www.howienewman.com/knockonwood-videos
PANTRY OF HOPE BENEFIT
This year’s Pantry of Hope benefit will take place on Sunday, June 21, from 6-7:30 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Melrose, 561 Main St. This is the sixth annual community fundraiser.
Proceeds benefit the Pantry of Hope, a charity run by the church that provides food for needy families in the greater Melrose area. We have raised thousands of dollars for this great cause over the years.
Mark it down on your calendar.
Don’t worry, I’ll wait.
BASEBALL SHOWS
There are five Musical Baseball Shows on the schedule so far: Attleboro, Northbridge, Southboro, Methuen and Medway.
For those of you who work for a living, the Methuen show is in the evening (6:30 p.m.).
Baseball songs, stories, trivia and more. Need more encouragement? Visit www.howienewman.com/baseball-show
CONGRATS TO ANDRUW AND CARLOS
As a fellow member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame (sort of), I’d like to congratulate Andruw Jones and Carlos Beltran on their recent inductions into the Hall. Well deserved, gentlemen.
I don’t actually have a plaque in Cooperstown but my Dump the DH bumper sticker is on full display, with my name below it. Don’t believe me? Visit www.howienewman.com/dumpthedh
Happy New Year!
