Narragansett and rock music go hand in hand. It's no wonder we just got on tap at an awesome bar in Lowell that showcases great live music. Taproot will be taking the stage tonight at the Brewery Exchange in Lowell, MA. Rock fans will remember their hit, Poem, which was released in 2002 on the Welcome record. Their most recent release, Our Long Road Home, hit stores last year and has been tearing it up ever since. Also on the bill is Novus Dae, Keep Me Conscious and Break The Dark. Taproot will be appearing for a few more shows, then hitting the studio to work on their next record. So make sure you don't miss this one. And what's better than rock music with a cold draft 'Gansett? Nothing!
Provisions United will be hosting Wonderland this Friday night to benefit local and global food pantries. This gala will be a night of food, fun and fantasy. Of course Narragansett will be there for the mayhem. They are even raffling off a Toyota Prius. It all goes down at the Hope Artist Village in Pawtucket, RI from 7 to 11 PM. For tickets and more info please visit Provisionsunited.org.
