Coffee House Nov 6: Thompson Twins

Since 1969, First Parish Church has hosted Off the Common, a monthly coffee house that continues to bring some of the best musical talent in the region -- and the country -- into a cozy venue in Bridgewater Center. The first Saturday evening of every month (except summer months) features an amazing musical artist, with open mike available to aspiring artists. (Sometimes even the open mike attracts established musicians.)

This Saturday, November 6, Chris and Meredith Thompson -- the Thompson Twins -- will be returning to Off the Common. Known for their harmonies, flute, and guitar, the Thompson Twins have been highly acclaimed in many national venues, from Lilith Fair to the U.S. Songwriting Festival. We are indeed fortunate for the Thompson Twins to be returning to the Off the Common stage.

Performing with the Thompson Twins will be Sarah Borrello, who performed earlier this year at Bridgewater State University. Borrello is an award-winning, independent local artist known for her youth, her maturity, and her "blistering intensity."

The show begins -- as always -- at 8:00 p.m. in the Upper Parish Hall (rear of building) at 50 School Street in Bridgewater (nestled among several buildings of the BSU campus).


Admission is $13; refreshments are for sale, as are performer CDs.
