Although we cannot charge admission to these shows, it is expected that viewers would donate what they can. Usually, Linden Tree Coffeehouse charges $20 for adults and $10 for those under 18 years old. Our performers have bills to pay and most of their live concerts since last March were canceled for the year. There is much uncertainty when live shows will resume. So be generous if you can, by donating $5 or $10 to their Pay Pal accounts or send in a personal check to Linden Tree Coffeehouse with a note for the performer and they will get sent to them.
We thank the Massachusetts Cultural Council, Wakefield Chapter, for supporting the concert series that has allowed us to bring quality programming to our community. We also thank The Ivy Chord Coffeehouse for their help in bringing this special show to our area.
