DON'T MISS THIS SHOW!

The first time we met John Flynn of Delaware, we knew we'd met a man of substance. He travels the country lending his voice for many social causes in kinship with other singer/songwriter activists like his friends, Arlo Guthrie and Kris Kristofferson.

Besides getting plenty of airplay, his award-winning music has been featured in two movies. We can't say enough about his songwriting skills, his insight into the human condition and our society and his ability to TELL A STORY. Quite often with humor. Then, he backs up his music with action, raising money and awareness for causes like children with AIDS, Katrina Victims, the environment or volunteering his time to mentor men at the local prison. When does this guy sleep?
John Flynn is a National Treasure. His great vocals and musicianship are frosting on the cake.

You owe it to yourself to meet this man and his music.

We are his first stop on his Massachusetts tour. Check out John Flynn at http://johnflynn.net

THREE AWARD-WINNING SONGWRITERS-IN-THE-ROUND - OCT 3RD

RAYNHAM On Friday, October 3rd, Rick’s Music World will host an evening of creative entertainment featuring three award-winning New England songwriters, Terry Kitchen, Garry Foisy and Jennifer Minuto. Terry Kitchen is a Boston-based Songwriter with a multitude of awards and accomplishments to his credit. Terry performs nationally in festivals and popular folk venues across America from Alaska to Boston, including the famous Blue Bird Café in Nashville who says of Terry, “Terry Kitchen is definitely a cut above with his eye for detail and unique song ideas.”

Joining Terry will be Garry Foisy, often featured in the cafés and coffee shops around New England, especially the MA and RI area, where he calls Pawtucket home. His personal style exhibits a keen passion for vocals, harmony and meaningful lyrics. It is reflective and capturing of life situations.

The third performer, another Rhode Island native, Jennifer Minuto, has taken her music on the road as well, playing across New England, New York and beyond. Bob Gulla of the Providence Phoenix says of Jennifer, "When talking with Jennifer Minuto, you get an idea that music is not so much a vocation but a destiny, a place she knows at which she'll arrive no matter what the conditions or obstacles.”

There isn’t a successful performer out there that hasn’t had to overcome obstacles to pursue their chosen career. As Songwriters-in-the Round, Terry, Garry and Jennifer will share their experiences and inspirations with the audience members and each other as they weave a night of original music and the stories behind them.

Showtime is 8pm in the Café at Rick’s Music World, 421 New State Hwy (Rt 44), Raynham, MA. Tickets are $8. General Admission. For more info, call 508-977-0200 or go to www.ricksmusic.com
