CALLING ALL MUSICIAN FRIENDS who may like to submit a video to THE GROTON CHANNEL for an upcoming series

Greetings Groton Grange Open Mic friends!

I'd like to share this potential virtual TV performance opportunity with you all. The Groton Channel has reached out to me to invite local musicians to submit video performances for consideration for a Community Living Room Concert they plan to host. This will probably will be a series and so they welcome all of your submissions. Please share with other local musicians who may like to be a part of this.

The Groton Channel has teamed up with the School District and The Groton Center for the Arts to put together a Community Living Room Concert.

As the Grange Open Mic Nights are temporarily on hold,
they would love to be able to include submissions from
the talented folks who usually attend our great open mic nights.

If anyone is interested in taking part, videos can be
sent to [email protected] via Google Drive, WeTransfer, Dropbox, or whatever is most convenient.

They are hoping to put together a few of these concerts so there is no limit to how many videos people can submit. In fact, they need your submissions to get this up and going.

I hope you are all enjoying more time practicing, playing, and creating music. Most of all I hope you are all staying healthy and happy. Maybe, like me, you are enjoying more time with family in person or via zoom.

Until we meet again in person or virtually, stay tuned!

warm wishes to you all

Aisling

We will push the pause button on our Groton Grange open mic until further notice my friends. And when the time is right, we will gather again to share our songs our stories and our friendship. Stay healthy.

“And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and grew gardens full of fresh food, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.

"And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.

"And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed."
~Kitty O'Meara

Rob Ayres RIP

We’re heartbroken to lose Rob. He was such a gentleman and a sweet soul. I loved when he came to our open mic at the Groton Grange. He always had a kind word and a big smile and when he was on stage he played and chatted with warmth and connection to everyone in the room. He was just with us last Friday filling the room with his lovely music.
Sending out our deepest sympathy and love and comfort to his family and friends. Rob will be remembered in our music and in our hearts forever.
