Produced by Provincetown resident and musical impresario Bart Weisman and funded by the Provincetown Tourism Fund, each of the musicians has generously donated their songs for this project.  “I am very proud of this CD project,” says Mr. Weisman, “and I am honored to help our Town fund the Fourth of July Fireworks.  These musicians represent various styles of music and showcase the talent of the artists who perform in Provincetown year-round.”

 

“Provincetown has a long-standing proud commitment to the celebration of the Fourth of July,” Austin Knight, Provincetown’s July 4th Task Force member states.  “This commitment to independence and equal justice for all is the anchor that holds our community together.  Bart Weisman and the ‘Provincetown Stars’ is a wonderful affirmation of this spirit,” adds Mr. Knight.

 

Tom Tracy Music Productions in Brewster, who has experience producing CDs throughout Cape Cod, will master the compilation and Disc Makers will package the CD, which will be sold for $15.00.  The CD will be available at selected locations throughout Provincetown as well as by contacting the Provincetown Tourism Office at (508) 487-3298.  For more information, please visit www.provincetowntourismoffice.org.

 

Just a short 125 miles from Boston, but worlds apart, Provincetown has been hosting culturally-diverse visitors since the Pilgrims first arrived in 1620.  A year-round destination nestled along the National Seashore, Provincetown transports visitors into a world that brings together significant arts and culture with America’s best harbor and beaches, the historic with the modern, and old-world charm with world-class lodging, dining and entertainment.  Nominated in 2006 as one of the Dozen Distinctive Destinations awarded by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and named Best Gay Resort Town by PlanetOut, Inc., Provincetown is clearly like nowhere else.
