Wakefield’s alive with the sound of music & more on 4th of July
Thanks to the WSSC
By JACQUI PHIPPS
WAKEFIELD - Wakefield Common will be alive with the sound of music on the Fourth of July. The WSSC proudly presents an afternoon and evening of concerts to entertain the young and old. Starting at 1 p.m., we have three young, up and coming bands performing.

“Yellow Team” from Goffstown, N.H. plays a powerpop/pop punk/electronica, style of music. They are currently on their Summer Tour 2009 traveling from here down to Florida across to Texas and back up through the heartlands until they make their way home again in August. They promise to be a fun band to listen to and watch.

Next up is “Envy of August” which is made up of young men from Stoneham and Reading. They are more indie/pop/rock and have an upbeat sound with some deep growls. Although they are a relatively new band in the area, they have already begun to make a good name for themselves on their way to stardom and we are pleased they will be here with us on the Fourth.
