SUMMARY:Newton Family Singers Presents Music of R.E.M. and the Indigo Girls!
DESCRIPTION:This season we’re celebrating the music of R.E.M. and Indigo Girls\, two decade-defining bands who came out of Athens\, Georgia. \nFun fact about Indigo Girls and R.E.M.: the trajectory of the Indigo Girls’ career mimics the path carved by R.E.M.\, often passing through the exact same physical spaces. Both bands’ spiritual home became the Athens clubs. The 40 Watt Club stands out as the central hub of their shared history. Even decades later\, in December 2022\, the Indigo Girls returned to the 40 Watt to perform at the 40th Anniversary celebration of R.E.M.’s Chronic Town EP\, cementing the venue as a historical monument to their shared lineage. Keep your eyes open around town for our flyer\, and see if you can pick out “40 Watt” imagery. \nMark your calendars: Saturday\, May 9 @ 4:00 PM. This season we’re performing at Newton Community Stage at the Lincoln-Eliot School\, 15 Walnut Park\, Newton. \nAdult tickets are $15 if purchased before May 2nd and $20 if purchased after May 2nd or at the door. Kids’ tickets (12 and under) are always $15. Get yours at https://www.newtonfamilysingers.org/events.html.
