BELLOWS FALLS — Bellows Falls-based Great Falls Community Media will present three concerts with the What Doth Life music cooperative from Windsor. The concerts begin on Saturday, July 21, and continue on Aug. 18 and Sept. 15.
Great Falls Community Media is the nonprofit parent organization of community radio station WOOL 100.1 FM, and of What's Up In the Valley magazine, a monthly events periodical for the mid-river valley.
What Doth Life (WDL) is a consortium of musicians who have banded together to promote and produce music in a wide variety of styles. WDL is neither a label nor traditional distributor and has built a wide audience through the association of like-minded artists.
“We're wildly excited to be building a bridge to Windsor in this way,” said Gary Smith, president of Great Falls Community Media.
“What Doth Life's purpose and methodology have much in common with what we're doing at WOOL. They offer a high quality outlet to a wide range of area artists. This concert series is a natural extension of WOOL's mission to give voice to our community and we're honored to be associated with this motivated and talented bunch of people.”
The first of three concerts begins July 21 and features Derek & The Demons, Dudestew, and Caleb Thomas and Ryan Hebert. Performances are to be held at 33 Bridge Street in Bellows Falls, home of Great Falls Community Media and a number of artist studios.

The two organizations will host an afternoon preview of some WDL artists on the deck at Popolo Restaurant on Saturday, July 21, beginning at 3 p.m. Popolo will serve drinks and light food throughout the performance.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. for the nighttime concert at 33 Bridge St. Admission is $5 at the door. Music starts promptly at 8 p.m. There will be a cash bar at the event. Proceeds benefit Great Falls Community Media.
