Location:
Robbins Memorial Town Hall
730 Massachusetts Ave
Arlington, MA 02746

Facebook event: The Gordon Webster Band at the Arlington Town Hall

Please note: The Arlington Town hall is a beautiful venue, but it’s about 3 times as expensive as Q Ballroom, so a large portion of the ticket price will go towards paying for the venue. We recognize that this dance is more expensive, due to the venue and out-of-town musicians, so have volunteer spots available for those who may need them.

This event is part of a fundraising fall tour in advance of Gordon recording an album in Brooklyn, New York, including A-list musicians from Europe and South America. Because this is a large project, with many people involved, expenses will be high. If you are interested in the album, please consider pre-ordering or donating now to support this project. If you’ve supported Gordon in the past, he sends his thanks, and is still releasing tracks from the “Single of the Month” club. If you have any questions or would like to support him, please reach out to us at: info@bostonswingcentral.org
