A fan from Groton, CT had this to say about our recent performance in the Gallery on Sunday, February 19, 2012:

"The concert by the Side Doors was exceptional! Your performance brought back memories of times gone by.
Your band transported me to another time and place, a very magical combination of players and music".

As young stars usually do, our lead female singer Colleen Songbird Seymour is moving out west to seek new horizons and opportunities. We miss her fiercely already. The Concert in the Garden on August 22 will be our last scheduled performance with her.

However, being the prudent and gallant young gentlemen that we are, and with Colleen's blessing and assistance, we have good news to share with you:

With great pleasure we will be presenting our newest band member, Jessica Collins, at the Red House on September 21st. Please join us there to welcome her into our band!

Hale Hill Farm To Host Ninth Annual Christmas Tree Charity Day
It's said it's better to give than receive. If that's true, one local farm is harvesting a bumper crop of joy. For a ninth year, Hale Hill Farm, situated on the town lines of Glastonbury and Portland, will host on Saturday, Dec. 7, its annual Christmas Tree Charity Day, complete with a good old fashioned barn party. The holiday-themed event features pre-cut and cut-your-own trees for a suggested donation of $50. All proceeds benefit the fight against multiple sclerosis.
