The Andover Community Coffeehouse, launching a hoped-for return to its usual schedule of indoor monthly “Third Friday” concerts beginning in September, will be held outdoors on Friday, June 17, in the AE/MS outside amphitheater located between the school and bank parking lots.  

Kicking off the season will be Lindsey Schust and the Ragged Mountain Band, all Andover residents, playing a mix of country, folk, acoustic rock, and original songs. Performing will be  Jim Schust (guitar), Grace Schust (drums and vocals), Lindsey Schust (vocals, piano, and percussion) and Paul Currier (mandolin, dobro, fiddle, and vocals).  Featured will be Lindsey’s music, including several songs from her new album, Country Ways, to be released in June and available at the concert.

Music will begin at 6 PM;  light supper food items will be available for sale, prepared by the folks from the Andover Community Church, well-known for the food they sell at regular Coffeehouse performances. Attendees should bring their own chairs or blankets or plan to sit on the grass. The event is open to the public at no charge, although the traditional Coffeehouse hardhat will be passed for donations for the band. 

Parking is available behind the Town Hall. The concert will be canceled in the event of rain. For last-minute information, call 603 735-5135, text 603 724-4670, or email TheAndoverHub@nullgmail.com. 

The Coffeehouse is an arm of the Andover Community Hub and traditionally offers concerts monthly from September through June at the Highland Lake Grange Hall in East Andover.
