Prince Pizzeria is excited to announce the kick off concert of the Summer by the College Fund Band.

Taking their musical inspiration from the infectious pop and rock of the 70’s and 80’s, this trio’s journey started six years ago when Jack Gantt—then age 11—and his brother, Dan, convinced their mother, Debbie, that they should form a band. 

The concert begins at 6 p.m. with the Prince Pizzeria menu available.

Admission is $5 per person.

Please reserve now by calling 781-233-9950
