North Shore Acappella Concert Scheduled for Next Week

Submitted by Mayor Edward A. Bettencourt Jr.’s office:

Mayor Edward A. Bettencourt Jr. announced that North Shore Acappella will perform as part of the 22nd annual Summer Concert Series. This concert will be held at the Leather City Common located on Lowell Street on Thursday, Aug. 7 from 6-8 p.m.

North Shore Acappella was originally slated to perform July 27, but the concert was scuttled by rain.

The North Shore Acappella has entertained the Boston area, for the last 27 years, by adding their experienced blend of harmony, rhythm and tempo to songs from the 40’s through today. This special art of delivering music without instrumental accompaniment is what North Shore Acappella is all about. The award winning group offers a continuously fresh repertoire of hundreds of popular hits that cover the last five decades. Each number and performance is arranged in a way that showcases each member in a role of lead singer- a trait that very few acappella groups in the country can claim.

Bring your lawn chairs, blankets and picnics and then sit down, relax and enjoy! In case of rain, the concert will be cancelled and rescheduled to a date to be announced. Please check the city website www.peabody-ma.gov, or Peabody Access Television Channels 8, 9, and 99 for announcements regarding the concert.

Admission is free and this event is open to the public. For more information, please contact the Mayor’s Office at (978) 538-5704.

Aug. 3 Hip Shot

Aug. 10 Studio 2

Aug. 17 Beantown Swing Orchestra

These concerts will all be held on Sundays at the Leather City Common from 6 to 8 pm.
