CANTON Josh Brewer stood inside The Auricle on a recent morning, the music club vacant and quiet.
A stage and upgraded sound system were idle. So was the bar, where customers haven t sat and ordered beer or watched a rock show since May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Brewer admitted if it hadn t been for a federal 30-year loan he received in November through the Small Business Administration, the live-music venue would have been forced to close. It s no joke, he said. I had $500 in my account for The Auricle.
A smile flashed across Brewer s face as he talked about reopening The Auricle on Friday with a free 8:30 p.m. outdoor performance by the Pinkertones, a Weezer tribute band, as part of First Friday events in downtown Canton.
