The Gaslight Tinkers light up the Shrewsbury Meeting House stage
on Friday, July 11 at 6 pm

African, Caribbean, Funk, Reggae, and Latin grooves meet traditional fiddle music. It's the genre-bending future of the music of the past. Their blend of global rhythms creates a joyously danceable sound around a core of traditional New England old time and celtic fiddle music, merging boundless energy with melody and song. Since its formation in 2012 the band has lit up the East and West Coasts, and the Caribbean, headlining clubs, dances, and major festivals. Playing what The Valley Advocate describes as "Music that consistently fizzes and pops with unexpected textures and turns," The Gaslight Tinkers' shows are packed with delightful surprises, elated crowds, and exuberant musicianship. At the Shrewsbury show, they'll be joined by Calypso singer and musician Choc'late Allen from Trinidad.

Who Are The Gaslight Tinkers?

Cash, check or Venmo $ contributions of any amount support the musicians and the historic Meeting House.

No matter the weather, the concert goes on, outside or in.

Our very own Harry and Elena of Pierce's Store fame offer up delicious entrees during the concert. Food served starting at 5:30 pm.

For more info call or text 802-558-2708 or reply to this email.
