What is your favorite local band? 

Don’t really get to hear many bands…I don’t get out much….sad but true.

What about Gloucester sets it apart from anywhere else? 

It’s community is like no other.   We are unique geographically which makes us tighter knit than most other communities.   In my opinion there is no other town with as much beauty and character (but I may be bias!)

Thanks, Joey
