Still, wh e n the ha m m e r finally came down last Wednesday — with the ann ouncement by ow n e r Peter K a r m a n o s Jr. that he wa s selling the O H L franchise to a Flint group — the Plymouth residents reacted with sadness and even a bit of anger.

T HURSDAY, HOMETOWN J A N U A R Y 22. 2015 ENTERTAINMENT UFE.COM Doctors Without Borders benefit in Bedford expands music lineup

By Sharon Dargay Staff Writer

M i c k Gavin will mi x it up musically for his sixth annual Doctors Without Borders bene­ fit next mo n t h in Bedford. Bluegrass and Americana folk bands, Spanish dancers a nd a Scottish music trio will join the usual lineup of Irish music ma k e r s at 5 p.m. to mi d ­ night Saturday, Feb. 7, at the Ancient Order of Hibernians Hall, 25300 Five Mile. “It’s going to be quite differ­ ent,” said Gavin, a Bedford resident wh o plays and teaches Irish fiddle music. “We have a huge variety this year. We have a hu g e lineup and it’s an all­ volunteer force. I think this is a great melting pot of music.” Gavin recruited the Corn Potato String Ba n d for the benefit after attending a few of their concerts. Th e trio plays old time Am e r i c a n and Ap p a ­ lachian mus ic and will release its second CD , C o m Potato String Ba n d Vo l um e Two, on Valentine’s Day. “T h e first time I sa w them, I said, these guys are really good,” Gavin recalled. “W e ’ve both played at parties, but we have never actually joined forces. This would be our first time. This is something I’ve never had before (at the bene­ fit) but I’m a big fan of good bluegrass music.” Multi-instrumentalists Aaron Jonah Lewis, who g r e w up in Oa k Park, created the band two years ago with Lindsay McCaw, an Iowa na­ tive, and Be n Belcher, wh o lives in Ne w Hampshire. Belcher plays guitar, banjo and fiddle; M c C a w calls square dances, does puppetry, and plays fiddle, banjo, guitar, accordion and piano; Lewis plays fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar and bass. El Al m a Espanola specializes in flamenco, classical an d regional dances of Lewis started taking violin Spain.
