Returning to its regularly scheduled monthly “Third Friday” live concerts, the Andover Community Coffeehouse announces two coming featured performers:

For Friday, December 16, The Mink Hills Band, a “New Hampshire-based acoustic band whose selection of music includes Bluegrass, Swing, Folk, and Original compositions”

For Friday, January 20, Holly Furlone, also New Hampshire-based, “a singer, songwriter and storyteller whose heartfelt lyrics are brought to life by a passionate and commanding voice, tuneful acoustic guitar, and connected on-stage experience.” (Both quotes from the artists’ websites.)

Both concerts will begin at 7 PM in the East Andover Grange Hall at the corner of NH Route 11 and Chase Hill Road. Grange Hall doors open at 6 PM for simple supper food and beverage purchases, and for up to five local musicians to sign up on a first-come, first-served basis for “open-mic” opportunities to play a song or two during the show.

The concert is free of charge, although viewers may show their appreciation of the performance by making a contribution during the “passing of the hat.”

Sponsor of the December concert is Bluewater Lodge, an Andover lakeside wedding and event venue.  The January sponsor is The Andover Energy Group, an organization of volunteers working to improve energy efficiency at the local level.

The Andover Community Coffeehouse operates under the umbrella of The Andover Community Hub.  For more information about The Hub or the Coffeehouse, follow The Andover Community Hub and the Andover Community Coffeehouse Facebook pages and websites, or look for the monthly listing of events and programs in The Andover Beacon.
