News and happenings in the Greater Fall River area

News and happenings in the Greater Fall River area

Here’s some news and happenings taking place in the Greater Fall River area.

Heads up when driving on New Boston Road. There is a new stop sign at the corner of Stetson Street and New Boston Road (at New Boston Bakery). I don’t know when it went up, but I hope it was recently. I only noticed it last night. It seems like a strange place for a stop sign, but it is there. Be careful!



The Narrows will be hosting The Pousette-Dart Band, led by Jon Pousette-Dart February 10 at . According to their website” The Pousette-Dart Band, led by Jon Pousette-Dart carved a place in the landscape of American music in the 1970’s. They were a mainstay of album radio, a favorite on the college circuit, and became one of the busiest touring groups in the US working with such acts as The Byrds, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, The Eagles, James Taylor, The J. Geils Band, Eddie Money, Manfred Mann, Jonathan Edwards, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Emmylou Harris, Gary Wright, Robert Palmer,Randy Newman, Journey, Billy Joel, and many more including the now famous Frampton Comes Alive tour, and the progressive Yes Fragile tour – playing arenas from Coast to Coast.”

Blue legend Joe Louis Walker will be appearing at The Narrows Center for the Arts Saturday night February 11, just days after the release of his latest album “Hellfire”.  Walker, who wrote or co-wrote seven of the CD's eleven tracks, says it's the hardest rocking and most deeply soulful album of his career. His blistering blues guitar playing and gospel-tinged vocals effortlessly blend throughout the album, according to his website.

Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School will host the 2nd annual Bristol County Home & Garden Show presented by the Herald News, Taunton Daily Gazette and the Fall River Chamber of Commerce. Ideas and products for your home and garden will be presented by local business. The event is free and will be held at Diman, 251 Stonehaven Road, Fall River, MA
on Saturday March 17.

The Fall River Little Theater will be presenting the Broadway play “A Few Good Menby Aaron Sorkin. Many recall the movie version of the play of the same name which came out in 1992. It will be presented March 8 thru 11 at the Margaret L Jackson Performing Arts Center at Bristol Community College.

Here are a few indoor activities to enjoy over the next few weeks. The winter has been good to us, so far. Pretty soon we will be itching to get back outdoors to welcome spring!
