FREE CONCERT - RAIN OR SHINE

Concert will be held inside the church if it rains.

Howie Newman of Melrose and Joe Kessler, also known as Knock on Wood (www.howienewman.com/knockonwood), will be playing their third annual Bread of Life benefit concert at the First Baptist Church, 561 Main St., Melrose, on Sunday, June 25, from 6-7:30 p.m.

The concert is free but donations will be accepted, with a portion going to Bread of Life. The previous two shows have drawn sizeable crowds, raising several hundred dollars each time for this benevolent community organization. It’s a family-friendly show that may include some children’s music and songs for senior citizens. No matter what they play, it features excellent musicianship, pleasing vocal harmonies and … lots of fun.
