Concord Youth Theatre Hosts Music Fundraiser with Regional Favorites The Butler Frogs

CONCORD, MA: On June 4, 2016, Concord Youth Theatre (CYT) will be hosting a musical fundraiser with local favorites The Butler Frogs at the Concord Rod and Gun Club, 74 Strawberry Hill Road. Tickets for the 8pm show are $50. This is a 21+ adult event, with proceeds going to CYT’s programming. For tickets and/or information, call (978) 371-1482, email concord_youth_theatre@concordyouththeatre.org or visit www.concordyouththeatre.org.

The Butler Frogs were formed in 2011 as a vehicle to support each individual member’s work, but they soon began collaborating and are releasing their first EP this year! The versatile band is comprised of musicians Chuck Clough (Guitar & Vocals); David G. Moore (Guitar & Vocals), Tim Fiehler (Bass & Vocals), Greg Mara (Percussion & Vocals) and Ronnie Hirschberg (Keyboard & Vocals). Their music according to their website is described as “music for the non-poikilothermic” (cold-blooded), but David Keevil of Acoustic Showcase was far clearer in his thoughts: …“really good music -- melodic, thoughtful, layered -- played and sung by excellent musicians creating an emotional environment for the lyrics to live in. Good stuff.”

Proceeds from this concert appearance will benefit Concord Youth Theatre.
