Notch Brewery

Our heroes SIX IS NINE go on first at 7:30 for a 30-minute set. They’re followed by I Want a Cat from 8:15 – 9:15. This band features Joe Pete’s son Ben Wetherbee on fiddle. Ben describes the band as “experimental” and says it sounds like Sonic Youth with fiddle. Lastly Eric Martin leads the great Martin/Morell/Fredette to close the show in style. Should be a great night, so COME ON DOWN!
