LIVE MUSIC never lets up in the Berkshires , and that ’ s a beautiful thing . The talent we have , as well as the artists who visit and perform here , means that on any given day , there ’ s live music to be had .
And in any given issue of Berkshire Magazine , music plays a big part of the content . Flip through these pages , and you ’ ll see what I mean . It starts with the legendary Joan Baez on the cover , whom I interviewed for a story on her new movie , her talkback at the Triplex , and her forthcoming book of poetry . Keep turning , and you ’ ll read 10 Minutes with R & B artist Raiche , upcoming peformances in “ Spring Awakens ,” some unbelievable rock star tales from caterer Gordy Hebler , and a visit to rustic Race Brook Lodge . It ’ s all right here at your fingertips , in what is now a designated music section in each issue . I am equally excited to share with you the news that our parent company has acquired Music in the Berkshires , musicintheberkshires . com . We are thrilled to have the digital publication as a part of the Old Mill Road family , providing expanded coverage of the live music scene . Read more in “ Music at Your Fingertips ,” on page 10 .
Also check out the latest Spring / Summer issue of the Outdoor Rec 413 , which begins on page 65 and features a two-page spread of the new berkshiresoutside . org , launched by the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission . We are proud supporters of the new website that includes stories from our Outdoor Rec 413 . Live music and exploring the outdoors , all at your fingertips — what a winning combination !
