WOOL-FM hosts finale of indie-rock concert series on Sept. 15

BELLOWS FALLS — Community radio station WOOL-FM's Summer 2012 indie-rock concert series, presented in partnership with the What Doth Life music collective and featuring some of the region's top up-and-coming bands, wraps on Sept. 15 with a triple-headliner show.

The bill includes the “best band in Vermont” according to the Boston Phoenix, the quirky outsider folk-poppers The Happy Jawbone Family Band; along with Upper Valley music legends The River City Rebels, who have been tearing up stages with their fun, melodic, high-energy Americana punk for more than a decade; and a rare performance by The Jobz, a talented regional supergroup of seasoned alt-rockers that's been praised as “a band in possession of the life force.”

In conjunction with the evening concert, there will be a free afternoon musical set by singer/songwriter Davis McGraw on the deck at Popolo Restaurant beginning at 6 p.m. (or inside in case of inclement weather).

The concert is at 33 Bridge St. in Bellows Falls. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., with music at 8 p.m. The cover charge is $5, and there will be a cash bar.

Proceeds benefit WOOL-FM, Black Sheep Radio, a member-owned and volunteer-run community radio station based in Bellows Falls, broadcasting on 100.1 FM and streaming worldwide via their website, www.wool.fm.
