The 2010 Lunenburg Bandstand Concert Series continues September 12 with a performance by Kelly Blair.
A popular Bridgewater-based singer and songwriter, Ms Blair has been putting words to music for most of her life, crafting stories that speak of her passion for life and especially for her beloved South Shore home.
She will be joined for this performance by musical friends Kris Richards, Mary Chisholm and Rachel Weagle.
For this week only, the free, hour-long concert begins at 4 p.m. at the Heritage Bandstand, which is located next to Lunenburg town hall.
The series, which runs each Sunday until September 26, is sponsored by the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival. In the event of inclement weather, concerts will take place at Central United Church.
