Concord Indies http://concordindies.org Choose Local :: Choose Indie :: Concord Independent Business Alliance Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:16:43 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 New Website Supports West Concord http://concordindies.org/new-website-supports-west-concord/ http://concordindies.org/new-website-supports-west-concord/#comments Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:58:27 +0000 Deborah Bier http://concordindies.org/?p=2691 Concord Indies Member Concord Marketing Partners recently launched westconcordvillage.org, a site devoted to West Concord Village.  Be still our hearts!

The website intents to be a one-stop source of information about special events, sales and other happenings in West Concord. This wonderful community of independent retailers, eateries, caterers, artists, designers, health, wellness & fitness centers, service organizations, a spa and much more has got our love, and we hope this new effort helps others from outside of Concord fall in love with West Concord, too.

While this site includes chains and franchises in addition to some of our Concord Indies members, we salute them for their support of their village way of life!

July 12 is his birthday, and we and others across the world salute him and his legacy.  Born in 1817 at his grandmother’s house, he is the only of the Transcendentalists to have been a native son. Happy birthday, big guy!  You leave very big shoes for us Concord Indies to fill (which is why there are so many of us…).

She has been totally easy to work with and very professional.  And since she’s a Concord native — as well as a Concord Indie! — she totally gets our town and how we do business here. Thank you, Lorell!

Of course, a website is an ongoing creative process. It’s never truly done!  And ours you should expect to continue to be a work in process.

All ages show.  For further details and to purchase tickets click here or buy them at Concord Hand Designs, 33 Main St. Concord Center 

The Nowheremen, Boston’s feistiest Beatles cover band, have packed a lot of living into their time together. They kicked off  the band in 2007 by rocking out Governor Patrick’s Inaugural Ball, and played at Ringo Starr’s Harvard Square art gallery opening.

Each Nowhere Man is a powerful singer capable of leading the song or blending in harmony. The quartet remains faithful to the Fab Four’s concept of three guitars up front with cuddly drummer in back.  Absolutely no digital gimmickry or taped backup is used. (And, no Beatles wigs!)

Bookings see these seasoned musicians laying aside their vast storehouse of rockabilly, soul, Celtic, pop, and original ballads and rockers to concentrate on reproducing and celebrating the greatest music of our time. A splendid time is guaranteed for all ages.

This evening will benefit The Concord Indies nonprofit mission.
