    We’ll play right after the drum circle finishes.

    From the organizers
    You may have heard that 2025 is the 30th anniversary of the New Deal Cafe.

    We’ve formed an organizing committee to scope out the celebration and have decided that we will have a Roosevelt Center festival on October 4, from 12 – 7pm.

    The focus that day will be on music, and we would love to have the Honk! play early on in the festivities, around 1pm after Katy Gaughan’s drum circle.

    We’d also like to invite the Co-op to table during the event as has been done during other festivals in the Center.

    I look forward to hearing from you. The day simply wouldn’t be complete without the Honk! With Katy’s drum circle and the Honk! kicking things off, we’ll have ourselves a rousing, rowdy start!

    We’ve been invited to play the OG Honk! in Somerville!

    from the organizers:
    The HONK! Organizing Committee is delighted to invite you to be part of the HONK! festival in Somerville, MA during the weekend of October 9-12, 2025.

    As usual, all musicians will be provided with food and accommodations by residents, volunteers, and local businesses. We always try to help with travel expenses for participating bands that have to travel from afar as best we can (we will be in touch with you about this later if we haven’t already discussed it). Keep in mind, though, that we are a non-profit organization with limited resources.
