The music is back! Return of NCMS Beloved Fundraiser Play It Forward

Tickets for November 6 show expected to sell out, available online only

Nashua, NH – Following a three-year hiatus, a beloved live music tradition in the Greater Nashua region is back and better than ever. The Nashua Community Music School (NCMS) Play It Forward annual fundraiser concert will return on Sunday, November 6, for the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic. This revamped version of the beloved event will feature a new venue, new format, and more of the classic rock and pop from the last 50 years that Play It Forward fans know and love.

For the first time, Play It Forward well be held at the Anheuser-Busch Biergarten, located at 221 Daniel Webster Hwy. in Merrimack, from 1-4 pm. The afternoon concert will be held in an area with multiple TVs, so fans can enjoy the music while also keeping score of the Patriots vs. Colts game – all while enjoying drinks (first included with ticket) and appetizers. As always, concert-goers can expect fabulous sets from talented NCMS students, performing hit songs from the 1970s to today, as well as the popular Nashua-based rock band Aces and Eights.

“A lot has changed since the last Play It Forward in 2019, but NCMS’ commitment to putting on the best live music show of the year in this area has only gotten stronger,” said Lindsay Rinaldi, Executive Director of NCMS. “We are so proud of our committed musicians and volunteers who have patiently waited and worked tirelessly through the pandemic to make sure that when Play It Forward returned, not only would it be safe for everyone, but an even better show than we’ve put on in the past. We can’t wait to rock out with you all!”

Tickets for Play It Forward are limited, will not be available at the door, and are anticipated to sell out. To buy tickets, visit https://bit.ly/3z9xT8O.
