John Lincoln Wright Memorial Concert

This celebration of the life and music of the man who carried a torch for unvarnished, by God country music in New England for four decades will include appearances by alumni of Lincoln's band, the Sour Mash Boys, from across those years. Through the donations collected on what is planned to be an annual event, it will also provide a funding start for bringing Lincoln's music back into print.--Stuart Munro, Globe Correspondent
