Leominster Musician Randy Austill to Perform 1960s-70s Pop Rock at Lunenburg Public Library on June 18

Leominster, Massachusetts‑based guitarist and vocalist Randy Austill will headline a pop‑rock evening at the Lunenburg Public Library on Thursday, June 18, 2026. The show, scheduled from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., is part of the library’s Monthly Music Series and will feature songs from the 1960s and 1970s, including Beatles‑era hits, folk‑rock staples and other popular tracks of the decade.

Austill, a Berklee College of Music alumnus, has performed in bands, choirs and as a solo artist for several decades. His career has spanned multiple instruments—guitar, bass, keyboards—and vocal work. The upcoming performance is a local showcase of his experience and a celebration of the era that shaped much of contemporary popular music.

The library event is held in the Lunenburg Public Library’s main reading room, located at 1 Main Street in the town of Lunenburg, Worcester County. Lunenburg, with a 2020 census population of 11,782, sits just north of Leominster and is part of the greater Worcester region. The library’s Monthly Music Series has been a community staple, offering free concerts that highlight different musical styles each month.

The June 18 show is sponsored in part by North End Subaru and the Friends of the Library. North End Subaru, a local dealership, has supported the library’s cultural programming for several years, while the Friends of the Library is a volunteer organization that raises funds for library services and events.

Austill’s set will include a mix of pop rock, folk‑rock, and jazz selections from the 1960s and 1970s. The program is designed to evoke the optimism of the Beatles era and the folk‑rock sounds that defined the 1970s. The library’s website notes that the event will feature “a curated selection of songs that capture the spirit of the 60s and 70s, from Beatles‑style pop to folk‑rock and beyond.”

The event is free and open to the public. Tickets are not required, but patrons are encouraged to arrive early to secure seating. The library’s event page lists the performance as a “Pop Rock of the 60s and 70s” concert, and it is listed on several local event calendars, including HappeningNext and AllEvents.in.

Local residents have expressed enthusiasm for the event. The library’s Monthly Music Series has historically attracted a diverse audience, from students and families to retirees and music enthusiasts. By featuring a local musician who has studied at a prestigious music school and performed extensively, the library continues its mission to bring quality cultural programming to the community.

The event also highlights the broader cultural significance of the 1960s and 1970s. The Beatles, whose influence is noted in the program description, were a defining force in the era, while folk‑rock artists such as Bob Dylan and The Byrds helped shape the sound of the 1970s. Austill’s repertoire reflects this historical context, offering listeners a musical journey through a transformative period in popular music.

As the library’s Monthly Music Series moves into its next month, the June 18 concert stands as a reminder of the enduring appeal of classic pop rock. The library’s partnership with local sponsors and the participation of a seasoned local musician underscore the community’s commitment to preserving and celebrating musical heritage.

The Lunenburg Public Library will continue to host free concerts throughout the year, with the next scheduled event announced on its website. Attendees of the June 18 performance can expect a concise, one‑hour set that showcases Austill’s skill and the timeless appeal of 1960s and 1970s pop rock.
