On Saturday, December 12, 2009, the Driftwood Folk Cafe presents Antje Duvekot at 7:30 pm at the First Parish Church, 19 Town Square in Plymouth. Antje is one of the brightest singer-songwriters to rise out of Boston's competitive acoustic music scene. Driftwood Folk Cafe, an alcohol-free and non-smoking venue, is bringing great folk, acoustic rock, country folk, roots and blues musicians to America's Hometown. The family-friendly venue is dedicated to encouraging and supporting acoustic music and its appreciation in an intimate coffeehouse-style listening atmosphere. On December 12-13, the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra presents "Holiday Pops!," featuring the Pilgrim Festival Chorus and the Federal Furnace School Treble Chorus at Memorial Hall on Court Street in Plymouth. And don't forget to save the date for America's Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration, to be held November 20-22 on the Plymouth waterfront! |
