Music, Community and Fred Schane

Fred Schane with Brock Wehry

 If you’ve been to Infinity Hall you probably know that this building was built a long time ago, 129 years to be precise. But did you know why it was built? It was built as a community center. In fact it is the oldest multi- purpose community center in the country.  The community is still very  important to us here, and that commitment to the community is one of the reasons I love being a part of Infinity Hall.

What better way to celebrate the community than putting our own sound man and local musician Fred Schane up on the stage for a night? And in keeping with that community spirit the ticket prices are so low that anyone can afford to buy a ticket. Ten bucks. The best bargain in Connecticut. For ten bucks you can come in,  grab a drink and listen to Fred who will make you laugh and make you cry. He will. I guarantee it. Well, maybe I can't guarantee it, but if you listen to his songs about lost love and heartbreak or about riding in the car with his dog Mary and you don't get a tear in your eye, you're a tougher person than I am. And if you can sit through Fred's Rasta man tune without cracking a smile, well, your funny bone just might be broken.
Supporting the community has always been important to Fred, and so he wanted to find a way to use his show to  raise some money for the Norfolk emergency services.  So here’s what we are going to do.  We are going to take this cool poster that I made for Fred’s show and make a small edition of the poster that will be for sale after the show.  Five bucks. Probably the second best bargain in Connecticut. All of the proceeds are going to go the Norfolk Ambulance. Fred will even sign it, increasing the value by at least three or four dollars.
So come on down TONIGHT and support Fred; support the Norfolk Ambulance ; support the community;  have a blast.
