The season finale of the Andover Summer Concert Series will feature singer-songwriter-guitarist Brad Hooper on Friday, Sept. 23 at 6 p.m. on the Andover town common, weather permitting. The concert is free with donations appreciated to help cover expenses. For more info, call Ross at 207-392-2572. Hooper’s vocal quality often has him pegged as a “blues man,” but his content spans many genres making it difficult to pigeonhole the guy. The timbre and raw emotion of his vocal-styling is clearly Brad Hooper’s trademark. Genre aside, one thing seems to be certain: “Brad Hooper is the real deal. No flash, no gimmicks, just solid guitar playing and soulful vocals.”  — The Bollard.
