Unfortunately this show is already sold out, but it is a benefit for the Northampton victims of arson. So, that’s a good thing.

But — Winterpills are playing a show this Saturday, Jan. 23rd at the Academy of Music in Northampton at 8 p.m., with Arlo Guthrie and Primate Fiasco.

We’re really looking forward to it. We’re on first.

If you couldn’t get tickets or come to this event either way, you can help out the victims by going here, at hampshirecountycares.org.
