Summer Concert Series 2002 

Just a quick update....

Melissa Martin, Dil and I are hard at work for securing the shows for this year's Summer Concert Series. Right now, we are looking to hold at least 6-8 shows in the Providence area.
This is obviously a gain for us, after working hard with the City officials and neighborhood associations for our last summer of only 5 shows (down from the usual 10).

As for booking bands, that's always a big secret so be patient. Or just visit www.wbru.com for more details. :)

The next station membership meeting will be taking place on Sunday, April 14th.
