Hey Winstigators,
Back in the seminal issue #036 of Winchester Wire, I wrote about Cedar Creek Grade. For those who are new here or missed the issue, CCG is a great band based right here in Winchester that’s been performing for a little over a year now. They started off by performing covers but recently they’ve started writing their own music.
On January 1st, CCG released their first self-written and self-produced song and it slaps! Check out “Lie to Me” on Apple Music or Spotify and follow them on Instagram to get notified for upcoming shows.
Pet Adoption!
Check out sweet Ginger, cute Mirabel, handsome Achilles, loyal Lucy, stoic Skyla, sleepy George and intimidating Asha.
