Music By the River: Matthew McLaughlin!

Come hear Music By the River with Matthew McLaughlin, Sat., Oct. 12, 12-2pm at the Co-op! Matthew crafts catchy, eclectic songs that convey his perspectives on life. Their music takes inspiration from 60s classics (The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Burt Bacharach, Motown) as well as modern artists (Belle & Sebastian, Jens Lekman, Joanna Newsom).
Grab some friends and some lunch from our cafe and enjoy Matthew’s music on our deck overlooking the beautiful Assabet River!
