We have one more show of the year coming up next month, so hold on to your butts and bring them to see us before we take a long sleep for the cold season! 🐻 💤
TWO chances to see us today! First is at the Envision Berwick's Bring Your Lawn Chair to Sullivan Square, downtown Berwick. We are on at 4pm. But come over early, it's a great little festival with tons of food and vendors and variety acts. And it's FREE!
Then at Auspicious Brew with Andy Klosenski doing an opening set at 8pm. $10 at the door.
Gonna be a full day of musics, food, brews, and fun!
Happy Shakespeare day everyone! We wouldn't be a band without ya, ol Willy boy!
We actually started as a four piece acoustic band back in 2018 for a production of "Titus Andronicus"- Shakespeare's bloodiest play!
.
Here is the final monologue from our production of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, followed by our song "Dead, Dead" that was then put on our first album "Prepare Your Throats" in 2018 at the Players Ring in Portsmouth NH
Today marks Arthel Lane "Doc" Watson's 100th birthday!
1923-2012
One of the greatest or all time, his music is a part of all of us whether you know it or not! Check out the link in our story to the giant Doc Watson playlist Emily has been working on over the last couple of years and celebrate one of the greatest story tellers of our time
JUST ANNOUNCED! Bella's Bartok and Bitter Pill is here May 31st at 8pm! Tickets are on sale FRIDAY at NOON! https://www.ccanh.com/show/bellas-bartok
Live your fantasy and embrace the stranger side of life with Bella’s Bartok. A band known for raucous theatrical performances and an outspoken political message of finding hope in a world beset by cruel uncertainty. With utter joy, they seamlessly blend a rich cacophony of sound and soul into their music with influences ranging from Punk to Folk and Pop to Americana. Let your freak flag fly high, fiercely and free, throw your societal inhibitions to the wayside and seek comfort in the warm sonic embrace of Bella’s Bartok. We are the night and you are bound to boogie! Floors may be broken but hearts will be mended.
Bitter Pill is self-described as “rhythm and bluegrass,” Bitter Pill is a tight-knit family, (literally father and daughter) who play a dark and anachronistic twist of folk, blues, jazz, rockabilly, and country. “Smart, dramatic, visual, evocative compositions that cross genres and casts shades of Tom Waits and Shane MacGowan.” - NH Magazine

Hackmatack Playhouse is starting to expand their music series and they plan on producing larger scale festivals in the very near future. We get to be a part of a first of a kind and want you all to come. If you've never been there, well now you have an excuse. It is also a working farm that has been in the Guptill family since the 1680s. They now raise 100% grass fed American bison (or buffalo) and heritage breed Mangalitsa pigs. They host their own products with a variety of locally raised lamb, duck, chicken, organic eggs, and locally crafted artisan goods. A rare gem in our community with a new generation taking the reins.
We play 1-3pm but there is a whole day of events.
Please come be a part of the launch of something new and maybe pet a buffalo or two.
❤️🤘💀💊❤️
Happy 5 year closing night to the show that turned us into the band you know today!

Also happy recording anniversary to our first album, Prepare Your Throats, was based on the music from this very twisted take on one of Shakespeares' most gruesome plays.
