Cool Sounds Concert Series: Flash! In The Pans

By: Melinda Hart

The wind and rain ended in time for the third week of this year’s Cool Sounds Concert Series in Pickering Square. Flash! In The Pans performed and Court Street filled with vendors on both sides.







There is a lot of foods to try at the outdoor market. No Gluten for Punishment has many different kinds of treats that are – you guessed it – gluten-free. Try Stephanie Courtemanche and Andria Francisco’s marshmallow squares or cinnamon rolls.



Look for a crowded table infront of the Whig and Courier, and you’ll find Daily Bread of Levant. For about five years, Daily Bread has been creating interesting flavored breads, like spinach cheddar, garlic dill, chocolate swirl, as well as flat breads and other bread products.









Pickering Square vibrated with the rhythmic stylings of the Blue Hill steel drum band, Flash! In The Pans. The audience danced and played tambourines, picking up every beat drummers put down.




The popular group consists of approximately 35 musicians, ranging, from students to professionals to retirees. Many members have little to no musical background, as steel pans are considered generally easy to learn.

Come by next week and catch Blue Northern, and see what sweet treats are waiting for you in the outdoor market.
