Yep, moved here after the pandemic killed my food truck job in Boston...started a little mobile donut biz, did a little business incubator program run by the city where I met a bunch of town officials and shop owners, all bending backwards to help us.

A couple of weeks ago we were at a free, jammed packed Saturday night show at Luthiers...when the band finished at 11 (normal end time), the mayor came out from the crowd and basically ordered them to play another song.

After, we followed the guitarist down the street to the Marigold where he played trombone in a salsa band till 1am...

Plenty of times living in Brighton / Medford (aka Boston) + there wasnt as much going on as in this sleepy town of 16,000

I fuckin love Easthampton lol
