STONE MOUNTAIN GETAWAYS WITH THE INN AT CRYSTAL LAKE ®

"Up Close and Personal"

Stay at the Inn at Crystal Lake in the beautiful town of Eaton, New Hampshire where just over the Maine state border in the town of Brownfield is the Stone Mountain Arts Center (or "SMAC" as it has become known). Enjoy all the comforts of our cozy country inn complete with our own dining room and pub. Relax and have an intimate dinner before the show... we will definitely all take good care of you!

We are very happy and honored to say that we are the only inn that has exclusive lodging packages with the Stone Mountain Arts Center.

Package prices are based on double occupancy (of course, single person packages are available).

Some weekend packages have a two night minimum and are noted below.

Most packages include two tickets (no need to call the Arts Center), dinner at the inn, gratuity for dinner, breakfast and a shuttle to and from the show (tax, beverages and any additional gratuity are not included).

Unless otherwise noted, PACKAGES INCLUDE **PREMIER SEATING** AT THE ARTS CENTER! You will be treated as our special guests with a fantastic table near the front - the Arts Center will get you as close to the stage as possible! (NOTE: because of the set up for some shows - like Stone Mountain LIVE - some packages will have guaranteed balcony seats, most likely in the front row of the balcony)

Just make one phone call to 1-800-343-7336 or within New Hampshire 447-2120 to reserve your complete getaway!

Unless otherwise noted, concerts begin promptly at 8pm. Dinners at the inn are at 5pm and the shuttle is at 7pm.

We require a 50% deposit on any major credit card with the remainder due upon arrival. IMPORTANT: Because of the popularity of these concerts and the limited number of tickets, deposits on Getaway Packages are NON-REFUNDABLE. We treat these packages as you would when you purchase tickets to any other concert.

  Check back for updates on the concert schedule and lodging packages.


STONE MOUNTAIN ARTS CENTER GETAWAY PACKAGES ®



February 6 (Saturday): Heather Masse with pianist Jed Wilson

The Wailin' Jennys' singer Heather Masse doing soulful, jazz-inspired duets with pianist Jed Wilson. Imagine Heather's beautiful voice with just piano... SMAC is the perfect room for this special show with our Brownfield's hometown diva. Don't miss it... a quick sell out.
Listen at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/heathermasse

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $355



February 12 (Friday): Sonny Landreth

Don't miss another appearance of Sonny and his band. Sonny is a huge SMAC favorite! Yes, Sonny Landreth is know for his untouchable slide playing, but his soulful southern style songwriting is just as much a contributor to his legendary status among guitar Gods of today. He is loud and proud!!
"A bona fide guitar hero." Entertainment Weekly
"He is probably the most underestimated musician on the planet and also probably one of the most advanced." Eric Clapton

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $368



February 14 (Sunday): Carol Noonan presents: Stone Mountain LIVE with special guests Susan Werner & Harry Manx
Carol Noonan and her Stone Mountains Boys, fronted by guitarists Duke Levine and Kevin Barry, host a star studded concert featuring many special musical guests and a variety of amazing music. With a house band to give the Tonight Show some competition, this unique concert is fast becoming one of Maine's most treasured traditions. The show is a great display of solo performance and collaboration with all these talented musicians.
NOTE: Because of limited seating for the Stone Mountain LIVE shows, all package seating for these shows will be in the balcony. Also, all Stone Mountain LIVE shows begin at 7:30pm.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $355



February 19 (Friday): Comedian Bob Marley

A local phenomenon and a national success. Come see why. It hurts he's so funny! From the Tonight Show to the Merril Auditorium, to a little stage in Brownfield (that he loves to make fun of by the way...), you can't not have fun!

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $365



February 20 (Saturday): Paul Rishell & Annie Raines

In keeping with their promise to try to bring shows for all kinds of pocketbooks, here is the fourth in the series of "Recession Sessions" shows that SMAC will be presenting throughout the year.
After 17 years and six albums, including the W.C. Handy award-winning "Moving to the Country", country blues guitar master Paul Rishell and harmonica wizard Annie Raines have become the blues’ most dynamic duo. Their masterful performances have won them fans around the globe
"W.C. Handy Award-winners Paul Rishell and Annie Raines are rousing interpreters of country blues, the original acoustic style that gave birth to electric blues, R&B, and rock. While their guitar, harmonica, and vocals are roiling, muscular and masterful, their shows are down home-friendly and fun-loving." The Boston Globe

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $300



February 25 (Thursday): David Bromberg Quartet

From Carol Noonan, owner of the Stone Mountain Arts Center: "I always have a hard time describing the amazing musician... an eclectic style of hillbilly jazz, bluegrass, blues, folk, country & western, and rock & roll.  It seems like having him wear all these musical hats makes it hard to say what he is best at... what he is best at is being Dave Bromberg... no one like him. Four of his albums in our record collection confirms that."

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $385



February 26 (Friday): Tom Rush

Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer, whose shows offer a musical celebration... a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be and will become. His distinctive guitar style, wry humor and warm, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues. This folk icon is back for yet another "encore performance"... come see why he always sell out!

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $388



February 27 (Saturday): Mindy Smith

It took eight years for Mindy Smith to become an overnight sensation. Part of that success was her hypnotic and rootsy hit, "Come to Jesus", along with a very cool cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene". She has been compared to the likes of Guilian Welch and Patty Griffin, but she is a singer all her own. The world discovered her suddenly around 2004; that’s when she started winning awards, appearing on national TV, inspiring critics and artists to sing her praises (and her songs). But when she wasn’t accepting Best New Artist honors from the Americana Music Association, sharing stages with the likes of Mavis Staples, Patty Griffin, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, or winging across the ocean to recruit new fans in the U.K., she was often doing the same thing she’d done when she was new to Nashville. She was, in other words, in a room with a guitar, closing a door and coaxing music up from somewhere down inside.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $370



March 6 (Saturday): Carol Noonan presents: Stone Mountain LIVE with special guest Bill Kirchen
Special guest, Rockabilly guitarist Bill Kirchen, is famous for his original riffs on the Commander Cody version of "Hot Rod Lincoln" fame! Known as the "Titan of the Telecaster", Bill will be joining Carol and the the Stone Mountain Boys fronted by guitarists Duke Levine  and Kevin Barry for a very special concert featuring other musical guests, and a variety of amazing music. With a house band to give the Tonight Show some competition, this unique concert is fast becoming one of Maine's most treasured traditions. The real star of the show is the collaboration between all these musicians, drawing audiences from all over New England to this little show.
NOTE: Because of limited seating for the Stone Mountain LIVE shows, all package seating for these shows will be in the balcony. Also, all Stone Mountain LIVE shows begin at 7:30pm.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $345



March 10 (Wednesday): Altan - Celebrating 25 Years Together
Over those years they have established themselves as one of the most important live acts to play traditional Irish music in Ireland and on the World stage. Arguably Ireland's biggest name in traditional music, The Boston Globe has described them as “The hottest group in the Celtic realm!” Altan has toured all over the USA and Europe. They also enjoy popularity in Japan where they frequently tour and have hosted Altan festivals in the middle of Tokyo to thousands of enthusiastic fans. Don't miss them.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $375



March 13 (Saturday): Carolina Chocolate Drops
The Carolina Chocolate Drops are a group of young African-American stringband musicians that have come to together to play the rich tradition of fiddle and banjo music in Carolinas’ piedmont. Think of traditional African-American music, and the genres that come to mind are gospel, blues and jazz; few people think of old-time string band music.  But the antebellum combination of banjo and fiddle used to be a tradition in most black rural communities in the South. These three young and talented musicians are recognized as leading the revival of this venerable musical tradition. They will go back in time. Highly SMAC recommended.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $335



March 19 (Friday): Orchestra Morphine featuring Billy Conway, Dana Colley & Friends
The band Morphine was one of the most critically acclaimed  alternative bands of the nineties. Lead singer Mark Sandman left us way too early and a last album was recorded before the trio could tour in  support of it. Original members Billy Conway and Dana Colley have put together a nine piece "orchestra" from Mark's musical past to perform those songs and pay tribute to this great musician and the amazing music that he left us with.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $350



March 20 (Saturday): Terrance Simien
For more than two decades Grammy award winning artist Terrance Simien, eighth generation Louisiana Creole has been shattering the myths about what his indigenous Creole Zydeco music is and is not. Leading his Zydeco Experience Band, Simien has become one of the most respected and internationally recognized touring and recording artists in roots music today. He has performed over 5,000 concerts, toured millions of miles to over 40 countries and reached at least a million people during his eventful 25 year career.
NOTE: Because this is a dance show, all package seating will be in the balcony.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $285



March 25 (Thursday): Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Their "Circle be Unbroken" album was on may people's record players 24/7. Since their inception, this band went from a hippy hillbilly jug band to a huge part of the southern rock and folk history. "Circle" and its follow up has won multiple Grammys and awards. The original album remains such a significant effort that 30 years later it was one of 50 recordings to be honored and preserved by the Library of Congress. Their version of "Mister Bojangles" will be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame this year and soon after that they will climb up the hill to see us here at Stone Mountain! Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden, Bob Carpenter and John McEuen are still going strong. A quick sell out! Check out this great video where the Nitty Gritty Band invites a who's who of guests to sing their signature song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLD85G2jr-o&feature=related

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $425



March 27 (Saturday): Cheryl Wheeler
Cheryl can really make you cry with a song and then really make you laugh with the next one. She wears her politics on her sleeve with a brutal honesty that has a uniquely "Cheryl" way of looking at the world... it's a world you will love to live in. Come see why she is always a sell out. A SMAC favorite!

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $365



March 28 (Sunday): Suzanne Vega
Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk-music revival of the early 1980s when, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, she sang what has been labeled contemporary folk or neo-folk songs of her own creation in Greenwich Village clubs. Don't miss it!

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $435



April 2 (Friday): John Gorka
John Gorka is an honored icon of folk tradition. Energetic acoustic music that is not a trend, not a fad, but an expression of everyday life, is his trademark. John's rich baritone voice and unique songcraft weave a magical spell that can only be described as 'Gorka'. "Gorka is widely heralded for the sophisticated intelligence and provocative originality of his songs." Boston Globe

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $345



April 11 (Sunday): Ruthie Foster
Back again!

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $355



April 16 (Friday): Cowboy Junkies
SMAC's now annual appearance by this cool breeze of band. They do very special shows when they come up here to to country, so don't miss it... always a fast sell out.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $415



April 17 (Saturday): Patty Larkin
with special guests the Nields
2010 marks Patty's 25th year of recording music, and to celebrate she will release a special album called "25" which will feature 25 artists from her amazing career... a who's who of singer and songwriters, who will help honor her prolific career. She will be touring this album this summer with many of the special guests from the album. Each stop will be different and our stop will host Patty along with the Nields... sisters Nerissa and Katryna will warm audiences with their beautiful harmonies and terrific songwriting. A really cool night of music from three great women. Come join Patty's party!

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $345



April 18 (Sunday): Jayme Stone
Two-time Juno Award winning banjoist Jayme Stone and Malian kora master Yacouba Sissoko build a boundary-crossing musical bridge from Africa to Appalachia in their new collaboration.
"Stone's scope is far-reaching, connecting seemingly disparate cultures with a passion for music that runs through bluegrass, jazz and "the grit of roots music" to West Africa." - Boston Globe
Shown here with Mansa Sissoka and others:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfKcaPcKbnQ

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $335



April 23 (Friday): Richie Havens
Richie always sells out quickly,.. and for good reason. He is part of our history... a folk icon who changed many people's lives at Woodstock that day, and now in his late sixties he is still moving mountains with his voice and guitar. Don't miss this chance to see someone who will remind you that the world is a really good place because we have each other. Here comes the sun... doo, doo, doo, doo.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $385



April 24 (Saturday): Cherish the Ladies
"Cherish the Ladies has been a leading group in the Irish traditional world...it is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn't enjoy what they do." That's a quote from the Boston Globe and they could not be more right! SMAC is so excited to have the "ladies" back. Their Christmas shows have been a treat each year, but it will be an extra special treat to hear them do their traditional fare. Don't  miss it... a quick sell out!

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $385



May 7 (Friday): Greg Brown
Greg is one of the most respected song writers of his generation. His seasoned storytelling, and music are deeply rooted in the Midwest, but now he moves audiences with his warmth, humor, and thundering voice all over the country and abroad. The heaviest hitting folkie around and always a sell out.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $380



May 8 (Saturday): Gordon Bok
Growing up in a coastal town of Maine gave folk singer Gordon Bok a strong foundation for what would ultimately be a lifetime of songwriting. His experience in and around the working boat culture of the Gulf of Maine enabled him to spin into song the diverse voices of fishermen and other sea-folk, crafting a penetrating vignette or a full-fledged ballad as the material demands. If you love songs about the sea, don't miss it.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $335



May 15 (Saturday): Darol Anger and his Republic of Strings
Is Darol Anger a bluegrass fiddle? A classical violinist? A jazz virtuoso?  He is all of the above!! He has had numerous collaborations with the likes of some of the world's great improvising string musicians, among them Stephane Grappelli, Mark O'Connor, David Grisman, Tony Rice, Bela Fleck and Vassar Clements. These collaborations and crossovers of different genres give Darol his unique musical voice. He is an exciting performer to see and his Republic of Strings project is no exception. Five great players taking you over a creative terrain where bluegrass, jazz, classical, pop, and various world music mingle, played by musicians who care more for inspiration than they do for genre.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $345



May 21 (Sunday): Crooked Still
Rock energy coexists with old-time mountain soul. Spooky backwoods melodies combine with hip hard-hitting beats. Raw, searing blues riffs intermingle with high heavenly vocals. Sound good? Here's the catch: No electricity. No drums. Fresh out of the studio with a new album... meet Crooked Still, the hot young alternative bluegrass group on a mission to bend the boundaries of traditional music. The unlikely combination of banjo, cello and double-bass drives this low lonesome band, whose captivating vocals and high-wire solos have enraptured audiences all over North America and Ireland since 2001.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $355



June 11 (Friday): Le Vent du Nord
Back again for a reason! Fiddle, accordion, hurdy-gurdy, guitar, strong harmony vocals, a strong Celtic and Breton influence, and heavy boots for time-keeping make up this Quebecois band. These guys play beautiful and happy music that is sure to bring you to your feet.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $375



June 26 (Saturday): Christine Lavin
The zaniest folkie on the circuit... Christine's shows are so fun. Great music, lots of laughs and some audience interaction to boot! A singer songwriter with a New York sensibility who will thoroughly entertain you. She is a one of a kind gal, for a one of a kind show.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $365

July 30 (Friday): Eileen Ivers

She's Back!! The New York Times referred to her as the "Jimmie Hendrix of the violin". Eileen is one of the hottest Celtic fiddlers of our generation, but her shows with Immigrant Soul are a wild ride of global music. This show come highly SMAC recommended.

Yes, folks this is SMAC at its best... Stone Mountain LIVE hosted by Carol Noonan and the Stone Mountain Boys featuring guitarists Duke Levine and Kevin Barry. This is our annual anniversary show that kicks off our month long appeal in August to support Stone Mountain Arts Center for the rest of the year. Many of you have seen Chris Smither here for his annual dose of great music. Now he will honor us by sharing the stage with the guys and myself on this very special night of musical highlights and collaboration.

August 19 (Thursday): Celtic Crossroads
Celtic Crossroads is critically acclaimed as 'the most exhilarating and authentic show to come from Ireland in decades - not to be missed'. They are the "reel deal"! It is an explosion of youthful energy and dazzling musicianship. Celtic Crossroads abounds with fusions of traditional Irish music, bluegrass, gypsy and jazz while pulsating with the rhythms of exciting Irish dance percussion. Spontaneous mid show ovations are the norm and enraptured Celtic Crossroads audiences are always compelled to shout and SHOUT for more.
Watch them... they are amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wDtEDAy0Js

August 20 (Friday): The Wailin' Jennys - a benefit for Mountain Top Music Center*
Featuring Fryeburg Academy alumna Heather Masse, a gal from our own backyard, The Wailin' Jennys are three extraordinary voices, two founding singer-songwriters, one singular vision: The Wailin' Jennys continue to evolve into far more than the melodious sum of their individual talents five years after blowing in on a fresh acoustic breeze from Canada's mid-western heartland. They are the Prairie Home Companion Darlings... a favorite of Garrison Keillor. Forget The Dixie Chicks! The folk and country trio, The Wailin' Jennys, are back again transforming the instruments and the harmonies of folk and country into something wonderfully different.

*Mountaintop Music is a cause that the Stone Mountain Arts Center is a proud to support. SMAC does this because they are the only lesson program in our rural area. Until recently they didn't even have a building. They borrowed church basements, private parlors and anything else they could scrounge up to hold the scores of kids and adults who participate in the lesson program. As you know the school funding for music is shameful and we have to look to our communities for music enlightenment now. This is SMAC's way to help. Please visit their web site: http://www.mountaintopmusic.org

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $435



August 21 (Saturday): Suzy Bogguss
Suzy Bogguss is not just a country music star, she has become part of the SMAC family. She has one of the most generous spirits and that spirit really comes through her music. She is fun, beautiful and sings like an angel... another not to be missed.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $420



August 27 (Friday): Natalie MacMaster
The amazing powerhouse from Cape Breton, Natalie is THE Celtic fiddler to see... she dances, she fiddles while she and her band put on a wildly exciting show. She sold out in a Celtic heartbeat last time she was at SMAC and folks were desperate for tickets... don't wait too long.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $430

September 2 (Thursday): Rhonda Vincent
SMAC has been waiting for her for three years! Seven times named Female Vocalist of the Year at the International Bluegrass Music Awards, Rhonda Vincent has turned her group The Rage into a bluegrass institution. It is one of the tightest bluegrass shows around. Known as the Mandolin Mama, she has forged ahead musically where other female grassers dared not go. A beauty queen with leather pants and all, Rhonda plays the heart out of the bluegrass tradition, while bringing something fresh and exciting to her feverish audience. A quick sell out!

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $395

September 4 (Saturday): Carol Noonan presents: Stone Mountain LIVE with special guest Comedian Bob Marley
Carol Noonan and her Stone Mountains Boys, fronted by guitarists Duke Levine and Kevin Barry, host a star studded concert featuring many special musical guests and a variety of amazing music. With a house band to give the Tonight Show some competition, this unique concert is fast becoming one of Maine's most treasured traditions. The show is a great display of solo performance and collaboration with all these talented musicians.

September 2 (Sunday): Riders in the Sky
They are real honest to goodness Singing Cowboys! For thirty years, Grammy award winning Riders In The Sky have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing the of the singing cowboy. While remaining true to the integrity of Western music, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding the genre with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit, and all along encouraging buckaroos and buckarettes to live life "The Cowboy Way!" But the animated character that history will most certainly link to Riders In The Sky is the loveable cowboy Woody, as Riders performed "Woody's Round Up" in "Toy Story 2", with the album of the same name garnering Riders their first Grammy Award in 2001 for "Best Musical Album for Children". The ponies are rested and watered, and America's Favorite Cowboys are ready to saddle up and ride up the hill to Stone Mountain Arts Center... Happy Trails!!!

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $405



September 25 (Saturday): Tim O'Brien
SMAC owner, Carol Noonan, calls Tim an American folkie. That conjures up a lot of styles, and that is Tim. His songs tell stories like a good folk singer should, but his sound is pure "Americana". Somewhere between Bluegrass and Country with a little old time mountain music thrown in between, this Grammy award winning singer song writer is a musician's musician. Oh, and he plays guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki and mandocello! A sold out show last time... come see why!

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $366



November 12 (Friday): Gibson Brothers
These young brothers of bluegrass, write really amazing songs, have beautiful voices and are great on stage. They were at SMAC last Christmas and they brought the house down. They have an old time feel that you can't fake... they are the real deal.... its like they grew up in a country band decades ago when the divisions of country music were not so defined. This show comes highly SMAC recommended.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $345



November 13 (Saturday): Savoy Family Cajun Band
The sweetest little Cajun band north of Louisiana... this family band will have you out on the dance floor in no time. They pay great tribute to the traditional music that is the blood to their musical hearts. Great songs written and sung sweetly by Ann Savoy and great songs to dance to played by this terrific band of Cajun musicians, and you have got one magical night of music.

Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show. $350
