Nearly thirty people showed up at the Sackville Commons on Friday night to watch three New Brunswick punk bands. There was a cover charge, but no one will be turned away. Not even kids.
A refreshing twist according to high school student, Seth Thomas. “A lot of the shows we have here are at Ducky’s or bars, so if I go I’d have to go with a parent,” said Seth. “And if I want to just hang out with my friends and go to a show, these all-ages shows are pretty awesome for that.”
This is exactly the reaction Glenn Barrington was hoping for when he started the all-ages music series in January. He planned to make the monthly events as accessible as possible. So, it isn’t just teenagers who are showing up.
“There’s been really good turnouts, somewhere around 50, 60 people have been coming out,” said Barrington.
