⚓️ There are still a number of cancellations and delays across Rhode Island this morning.
⚓️ Due to the storm (and lack of power), our conversations scheduled with Tom Rush and Newport School Superintendent Colleen Burns Jermain had to be rescheduled.
We’ll chat with Tom Rush this morning at 10 am and Jermain next Wednesday at 1:30 pm.
⚓️ Busy Saturday night? If not, there’s a really cool concert happening, and we’ve got a pair of tickets to the show to give away.
Folk/Roots singer-songwriter S.G. Goodman is playing the Casino Theatre at the Tennis Hall of Fame Saturday, October 30th at 8PM. The show is part of the Fall Music Series from Common Fence Music, the award-winning music organization on Aquidneck Island.
