Coffee and Desserts
November 21, 2007 - Volunteers sell coffee, tea, soft drinks and desserts at last Saturday's Steeple Coffeehouse performance by the Nields. The Steeple Coffeehouse is located at the Pilgrim Church on Common Street, Southborough. The non-profit all-volunteer Steeple Coffeehouse contributes to Pilgrim Church's Outreach Program and the proceeds are donated to various local and regional charities such as All Our Children Campaign, Assabet Vallley Pastoral Counseling, Abby's House, Southborough Food Pantry, Walk for Hunger, Rhett Syndrome Foundation, The Brain Tumor Society, The Heifer Project and many more. This is the Steeple Coffeehouses 12th year. For more information click Steeple Coffeehouse.
LRH Music and Productions presents an evening with singer-songwriter Meg Hutchinson who will perform at the Steeple Coffeehouse on December 8. In the spring of 2000 a twenty-two year old Hutchinson completed her BA in Creative Writing, quit her long time job on an organic vegetable farm in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts, and hit the road. She went on to win awards at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas, the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest and the Telluride Troubadour Songwriter's Showcase in Colorado, as well as The Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest in North Carolina, all in the course of a year. The following spring her self released album "Against the Grey" was nominated for a Boston Music Award for "Best Debut Singer-Songwriter Album of the Year." Part young farm kid, part old poet, Performing Songwriter calls Meg, "...A master of introspective ballads filled with understated yearning and an exquisite sense of metaphor." Her songs are characterized by an unselfconscious optimism, a love of language and a fascination with the workings of the human heart. Among her major influences she is quick to mention Mary Oliver and Garrison Keillor. Hutchinson is currently living in Boston and completing her fourth album "The Crossing" with producer Crit Harmon. For more information visit her web site at www.meghutchinson.com |

Southborough News passed two major milestones November 20, 2007 - This past weekend. The 25th week was archived and we received our 15,000th visitor to celebrate the sixth month anniversary of the Southborough News. When the Southborough News started back in May of 2007, we had about 500 people total that month take a look at the site. We are now averaging over 1,000 people per week!!

We have tabs that can take you direct to the Southborough Recreation, Southborough Town House or Arts center. There is a tab that links all the community organizations that have websites in town. If I’ve missed one, please let me know and I’ll add it to the list. For your convenience there are a number of tabs that take you to the local and national news media, dictionary for school help, transportation, local weather and more. From the emails and phone calls I have received, there are many residents and former residents that have waited a long time for something like this to come along. The Southborough News has now received hits from every state in the USA and fourteen countries. Many of the out of town emails I have received are from former residents or relatives that still have family in town. They have all appreciated the chance to “stay in touch” with the goings on of Southborough.

Narissa and Katryna Nields
November 18, 2007 - The Nields performed a flawlessly wonderful concert last night to a packed audience at the Steeple Coffeehouse. Shown is Narissa playing guitar and Katryna singing. The duo were brought up singing in the family kitchen, in the family car and around the campfire with their dad. They have been singing together professionally since the 1980's and have released 14 CDs, their latest being Sister Holler. Several songs were sung from this CD last night including Give Me a Clean Heart, This Train and We'll Plant an Oak. Interspersed throughout the night were bits of their life growing up as they joked with the crowd. Sitting in the audience was Southborough resident Dick Upjohn who knew their family when they sang around the campfires in the Adirondacks. They were all part of the forty-sixer club. (The forty-sixer club is the name given to those that have hiked to the top of all of the mountains 4,000 feet or more in the Adirondacks there are 46 peaks).
