WESTFORD, MA: Rock Hearts brings together five seasoned musicians from Southern New England who love to sing and pick bluegrass, old country tunes, and seek out tunes from other genres to “bluegrass-ify.” Coming to the Parish Center for the Arts (10 Lincoln Street) on May 9 at 7:30pm, they will share over a decade of their music to all in-house. Doors open at 7pm. Tickets are $20 for Members and $22 for Non-Members in advance; $25 at the door (if available).
