Vickie and I are looking for someone who wants to learn the concert business and is willing to work at it with determined dedication. We’re a very small company. Everybody does everything, from booking to promotion to customer support to data entry to house and stage management to washing towels and shopping for the artists’ back-stage goodies. So will you.
This is not an easy job. Hours vary from week to week. Priorities can change suddenly without warning. No matter how much you prepare, the unexpected always happens. And sometimes it all seems to be going terribly wrong.
If you are an excellent communicator, great with people, thrive on challenge, love to learn, love music, embrace the unknown and can find clever ways to get stuff done with almost no supervision, this could be the job for you. It’s not an internship. You’ll get paid.
Watch our video (below) and get a taste of what it’s like to put on an outdoor concert (most of our shows are not outdoors, but it’s the only video we have that shows some of the work we do behind the scenes).
CLICK HERE. Check the box that says, “I want to be on your Street Team” (Oh, did we say you’ll be managing a street team too?) and tell us why you want to learn the concert business. We’ll get back to you.

Hey Joey! Just wanted to drop a quick note to thank you for keeping our spirits up all winter! …wicked winter that it was! (Yep..we had snow today, April 23..) Even seeing our favorite vacation spots under the snow made us happy. Everyday after shoveling we would come in and read your daily blog. We would “catch-up” on news, see what Sista Felicia was cooking, and plan new places to go on our next visit. Sharon and Leo

Back In January we were there when Brian’s Solar Advisor Kevin Prickett came by to look at Brian’s house and make recommendations. Here is what he had to say back in January-
Hi Joey, Just a quick follow on Brian and Diane O’Connor’s Solar evaluation. Brian and Diane’s home has qualified and they have decided to put rooftop solar on their home in Gloucester. (Only 15% of homes in MA are eligible.) Because of their home’s orientation to the sun and other factors, their entire cost will be covered by various federal, state and utility incentives. In fact they will actually be making money over and above their cost. And getting 90% of their electricity for free. If anyone else would like to find out if their home qualifies, I just need their contact information and our techs will initially rate the home via satellite. If it qualifies, we can up with a time for us to talk about how it all works. (About 90 mins.) I am in the process of working with several other Gloucester residents and will keep you posted on their progress. Many thanks for your continued support, Kevin Prickett Solar Advisor
As you can see it’s all come to fruition!
If you would like a completely free Solar evaluation to see if your house qualifies for the crazy amount of incentives and as Kevin states potentially 90% of your electricity for free, Fill Out The Form and They Will Contact You To Set It Up-
From just a few months ago in the snow for the evaluation when we took the video, to an Earth Day install, Brian’s gotta be psyched! Looking at the installation it looks like a super clean job.

Michelle Anderson sent along the following wonderful series of photos of her troupe of young naturalists.
Elijah, Atticus, and Lucas
Atticus ‘Eagle Eye’ Anderson discovered a pile of owl pellets under a large hemlock tree in Rockport.
Dissecting the pellets are Sabina and Lucas Sappia, Esme and Elijah Sarrouff, and Atticus and Meadow Anderson. So interesting and so cool! THANK YOU MICHELLE FOR SHARING!!!
Puzzle piece for scale
Close-up
Earlier that same day, the naturalists were checking for alewife at the Gloucester fish ladder. They saw seven alewife in total, three actually going up the ladder!

My wife, Anna and I have a son, Yianni, who has Down Syndrome so we were happy to hear that Shawn Williamson and Kathy Verga have taken on the herculean task of establishing a Cape Ann chapter of Massachusetts Special Olympics. Currently, they have a track and field team practicing on Saturday mornings at the Gloucester High School. They plan to add soccer for the fall and basketball for the winter. This is huge for all the local athletes who previously had to travel to Peabody or Danvers or further. We are so appreciative of their efforts and hope that the Cape Ann Community will support their efforts.

Eric Lorden, chef and owner of Passports has stepped up to be the first community/business leader to help us with our fundraising efforts – Thank you Eric! As some of you may have heard, Eric has started “Community Tuesdays”, at Passports on Main st. A win – win night for everyone! Diners can choose from several options on a Prix Fix menu, offering 3 courses for $15.00 (regular menu also available) and non-profits get 10% of the nights proceeds. When Eric heard about Cape Ann Special Olympics he offered us two Tuesdays, next Tuesday 4/28 and the following Tuesday 5/5. What an easy and delicious way to raise money!

How does art tie in here? In addition to Community Tuesdays Eric also supports the local community by showing the work of local artists in Passports. The latest show is one, printed at Cape Ann Giclée, for local photographer and FOB Len Burgess. Len’s series of Flower Photography now on display at Passports is beautiful and brings spring back to Cape Ann.
