Maine
calls Rustic their own, but they have had national success as well. A Cinderella
big label story in the late nineties, and now they have reunited to ignite that
fire again. Their alt sound fueled by horns and some edgy guitar work are the
foundation for just a killer voice and style from lead singer Dave Gutter. Their
last SMAC show was really intensely musical as they move forward with great
promise. They put on a great show and are a bunch of great young folks, too!
They'll make you feel old and young at the same time. Come see why!!

Wow this
was one SMAC's favorite acts of 2012! Really nice folks from Canada,
Halifax-based Gypsophilia is a group of seven young performers whose music
straddles the jazz and indie worlds. The band started in 2004 as a Django
Reinhardt tribute, but soon found itself mixing gypsy jazz with klezmer, funk,
classical music, indie rock, and bebop, composing original music, and selling
out shows all over Canada. Needless to say they are hard to describe, but
everyone who saw that show said they loved it... whatever it was! Welcome them
back again!
NOTE: This is a free concert, hence the low package price to cover your room,
dinner and shuttle ride. So, in keeping with the spirit of providing, please
bring a donation for the Harvest Hills Animal Shelter in the form of dog or cat
food... (please, no Old Roy) and they always need bleach and kitty litter, too!

1-603-447-2120 to book this package
If Chris Isaac, Buddy Holly and Buck Owens started a band, it
might sound like thes guys! Fronted by crooner Ward Hayden; a smooth, authentic
Honky Tonk / early Rock & Roll vibe with some twangy Country-Folk thrown in
there, too... it's hard to peg these guys... but that's a good thing! An
eclectic blend of musical styles that’s reminiscent of Johnny Cash one minute,
CCR the next, the all-male quintet mixes catchy melodies with cowboy vocals and
creative percussion, hurling grit (sometimes grits) and heart into every tune.
Don't miss this whole lot of fun band!
Barn Burners are held in the 200 year old Quisisana Barn... a
casual, club-style show (bar stays open!). Less formal, but still a listening
environment. This series will showcase acts that might not be household names...
yet!

To Benefit the
Mountaintop Music
Program
Singer Songwriter Carol Noonan is known as much for making people laugh as she
is for her voice and her songs. Of course, we know her as the vision behind the
Stone Mountain Arts Center, but before that she was a national recording artist
once signed to Island Records and then to the indie label Rounder Records. An
NPR darling, she has been critically acclaimed for her decades of work.
"Carol Noonan respects all the right traditions of English and Irish folk music
with her soulful quaver, reminiscint of Sandy Denny.Her beautiful voice offers
the consolation music is supposed to provide" - Playboy Magazine
Yes, her husband Jeff was heard boasting that "his old lady was in Playboy"
back when this review came out. Many years later she is still a voice to enjoy
and a wit to experience. Just Carol and a guitar and who knows what else!!???
And this is a fitting show to help benefit our local music program
Mountaintop Music in Conway NH. They do great work over there, offering music
instruction for kids and adults.

A life
full of music... that's the story of Ricky Skaggs. By age 21, he was already
considered a "recognized master" of one of America's most demanding art forms,
but his career took him in other directions, catapulting him to popularity and
success in the mainstream of country music. 2012 marked the 53rd year since
Ricky struck his first chords on a mandolin, and this fourteen–time Grammy Award
winner continues to do his part to lead the recent roots revival in music. With
twelve consecutive Grammy–nominated classics behind him, all from his own Skaggs
Family Records label, the diverse and masterful tones made by the gifted Skaggs
come from a life dedicated to playing music that is both fed by the soul and
felt by the heart. "This group of guys meets my approval every night," Ricky
says. "Each and every one of the pickers in Kentucky Thunder totally amazes me
in every show." The all–star lineup of Kentucky Thunder makes this show a
bluegrass experience unlike any other. Come see this legend up close and
personal!

1-603-447-2120 to book this package
You
might know them as Gandalf Murphy & The Slambovian Circus of Dreams, but the the
advent of “The Grand Slambovians” is both the band’s latest reincarnation and
the title of their new soul stirring CD by the same name. The music of THE GRAND
SLAMBOVIANS has been variously described as “hillbilly-Floyd,” “folk-pop,”
“alt-country, roots-rock,” and “surreal Americana;” a clear indicator of its
singularly indescribable uniqueness. Dancing freely between all existing
religious and philosophical mythologies, the music is uplifting, empowering and
a lot of fun. A wild ride of an evening!
NOTE: This is a free concert, hence the low package price to cover your room,
dinner and shuttle ride. So, in keeping with the spirit of providing, please

Hosted
by Corey Harris, a MacArthur Grant recipient, and featuring renowned roots
musician Guy Davis and Alvin Youngblood Hart, True Blues chronicles the
extraordinary living culture of the blues in an evening of music and
conversation. In bringing the True Blues film to the concert stage, the True
Blues concert vividly brings to life this crucial wellspring of American music.
Both Corey Harris and Alvin Youngblood Hart were featured in Martin Scorcese's
"The Blues: A Musical Journey," which followed Corey on a roots journey to West
Africa. Alvin contributed, as well, to Wim Wenders' " The Soul Of a Man" and
Denzel Washington's "The Great Debaters." Guy has often followed in the
Thespian footsteps of his parents, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, most recently in
the Broadway revival
of "Finian's Rainbow," and earlier in "Mulebone" and "Robert Johnson: Trick the
Devil". Blues is at the center of their artistry, and the blues takes center
stage in True Blues, the concert. A special night for Blues' fans!

Swing... and even adding a Big Band sound with a .little Gospel from time to

Lake Street Dive

1-603-447-2120 to book this package
They were here last year at SMAC's little Mother Day festival... it was only a
glimpse, but you definitely knew they were up for bigger things. And sure enough
it has been a great year for them. NPR called them a "string band with soul" and
they were recently on Prairie Home Companion... they are the talk of the concert
circuit right now! Pulling in familiar elements and irreverently scrambling and
recombining them, Lake Street Dive are at once jazz-schooled, DIY-motivated and
classically pop obsessed. Beginning with catchy songs that are by turns
openhearted and wryly inquisitive, this northeastern quartet proceeds to inject
them with an irresistible blend of abandon and precision. Composed of drummer
Mike Calabrese, bassist Bridget Kearney, vocalist Rachael Price, and
trumpet-wielding guitarist Mike “McDuck” Olson, Lake Street Dive encompasses a
myriad of possibilities within its members' collective experiences and the
resultant music is a vivid, largely acoustic, groove-driven strain of indie-pop.
“It seems the only limitation we have,” Kearney explains, “ is that we try to
make music that we would like listening to.”
These "Barn Burner" concerts are more informal are are held in SMAC's Quisisana
Barn.
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.

1-603-447-2120 to book this package
"Quietly spellbinding... the music of Ms.
Carpenter is an unclassifiable hybrid of Pop, Folk and Country." - The New York
Times
"Cohn has one of Rock's most soulful croons - a rich immediately recognizable
tenor that makes these songs his own." - Rolling Stone
Acclaimed songwriters Mary Chapin Carpenter and Marc Cohn will share the stage
for a series of special shows this summer. The duo will perform material
spanning their vast catalogues as well as some of their favorite songs.
2012 and 2013 have been landmark years for Carpenter. In addition to releasing
her latest album, Ashes and Roses, to widespread critical acclaim, she was
recently inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and won and Emmy
award for her work on Nashville Public Television's "No Going Back: Women and
the War." Over the course of her career, Carpenter has recorded twelve albums
and has sold over thirteen million records. With his like "Passionate Kisses"
and "He Thinks He'll Keep Her", she has won five Grammy Awards (with fifteen
nominations), two CMA Awards and two Academy of Country Music Awards for her
vocals. Her songs speak to the most personal of life's details and the most
universal.
With his Grammy Award winning ballad "Walking in Memphis", Cohn is one of the
generation's most compelling singer/songwriters. Of Cohn, Bonnie Rhaitt
declares, "Marc is one of the most soulful, talented artists I know. I love his
songs, he's an incredible singer, and I marvel at his ability to mesmerize every
audience he plays for". After taking a decade-long sabbatical, Cohn returned in
2007 with Join the Parade. Inspired by the events following Hurricane Katriana
and his own near fatal shooting just weeks before, Parade is his most moving and
critically acclaimed record to date. His most recent album, Listening Booth:
1970, was released in 2013. Of the record, Rolling Stone praises, "Cohn has one
of Rock's most soulful croons - a rich, immediately recognizable tenor that
makes these songs his own".

Ruthie
is mostly considered a Blues singer, sometimes a folkie and sometimes known for
being a songwriter. But if you have seen her, you know her as one of the most
soulful singers out there today no matter what she sings. Her shows lift you up
and her spirit will stay with you long after you have left SMAC. A Grammy
nominated artist with multiple awards to her resume, she is admire by many of
her peers in the musical community.
"I love Ruthie Foster. That's my little sister. A

Marty Stuart
◄

1-603-447-2120 to book this package
The only
disappointment in having Marty and the boys back is that SMAC only gets them for
one show! Marty is the consummate performer mixing a blend of Bluegrass, old
time Country and his own brand of traditional style originals. The band is crazy
good as well. Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson on drums and Paul Martin on bass.
Their playing is of course top notch, but their live vocals steal the show. That
live thrill on stage and on records is also seen regularly by TV viewers these
days, on RFD-TV's The Marty Stuart Show, which adds a new chapter each week to
the tradition of simple, electrifying Country TV with varied live sounds and top
level guests. Marty has played with everyone from Johnny Cash, Travis Tritt and
Dolly Parton to Bela Fleck... he is a musicians' musician, but for this night SMAC calls him their own. He usually graces SMAC with two shows, but this summer
they can only get him for one night... so book your package soon!
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 priority tickets to the show.

A genre-defying band. Grammy awarders the Mavericks, were and
are one of the most exciting bands of our musical lifetimes. Back
together for a new album, "In Time" was so good on Carol Noonan's first listen
that it prompted her to write to their management:
"I rarely send a fan letter... but I was just hoping you would let Raul and the
guys know that the new Mavericks album is one of the best albums I have heard in
years. Just great songs... and Raul sounds amazing."
c. noonan
That says all you need to know about this band. This will be THE show of the
summer if not the year. The Mavericks were one of the most inventive country
bands of the '90s and with this reunion the band sounds as strong as ever. Lead
singer Raul Malo has a monster voice that many of you have seen with his solo
show. The Maverick's big hit "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down", launched them
into the land of Country and Pop crossover, but their mix of Cuban and Tex-Mex
sound is the flavor that puts them in a category all their own. Here is a
YouTube of one of their new songs:

ONE SHOW ONLY!
Somewhere in London a
musician carries the keys to the musical kingdom. In his Technicolor sonic scope
are all kinds of sounds, from rock to country to soul to pop. Nothing is off
limits, as long as it has a groove and goodness based in reality. The musician
has been performing for 40 years, but is as fresh today as the first time he
stepped on stage. There are no tricks or short cuts here. Far from it. His songs
are as solid as the earth, yet carry no lingering hype or heaviness. The
musician is Nick Lowe, the headmaster of British rock. With someone like Nick
Lowe, who has been such an unending influence on music as a performer,
songwriter, producer and all-around proud fan, there is always the question of
how he knows when his songs are ready for their public debut. “When I can pick
up an acoustic guitar and play the thing through,” he says, “if I can do that
and it feels like someone else has written it, or I’m playing a cover song so
it doesn’t sound like me anymore, then it’s done. I don’t try to make it
anything, because when I try to make it something I can’t stand it. It needs to
be as natural as possible, and generally not sound too much like me. It’s an
inner gyroscope that lets you know when it’s done.”
SMAC has been trying to get him there since they opened! A rare appearance...
don't miss it!

"Hayseed"
- All New Susan Werner songs that celebrate the language, livelihood, characters
and concerns of American Farmers.
To celebrate Susan’s newest project we will be promoting our good friends
Weston's Farms in Fryeburg Maine. Each ticket will come with a maple syrup
sample, and a discount coupon to get you over to the farm to see what Susan is
singing about! See what generations of a traditional family farm has to offer.
Susan's latest labor of love, contains twelve songs on the subject matter of
farming, rural America, farm-to-table, food safety and the comic potential of
herbicides. Werner grew up on a family farm in eastern Iowa where her parents
still farm - and in “Hayseed” she returns to the language and characters she
knows best. She will tour with two sidemen and an array of farm props! The CD
is slated for release Spring 2013.
A person note from SMAC owner, Carol Noonan: "I cant wait! Susan Werner
doesn't just make a record for the sake of recording. She always turns her
albums into some kind of journey. This one will take you through the cornfields
and the rolling hills of her rural past and maybe yours. We are happy to take
this opportunity to urge you to visit your local farms. In a world of
genetically altered food and giant slushies... a bag of snap peas or a real
tomato just outta the ground is about as trendy and beautiful as you can get. We
will feature Weston's Farm in conjunction with Susan's show... most of the menu
that night will be grown by John, George and Laurie Weston... Good folks, good
food and a great show! Thanks Susan... xoxoxox cn"

August 28 (Wednesday): Waltzing for Dreamers Searies with
The Tennessee
Mafia Jug Band

1-603-447-2120 to book this package
This FREE concert series is made possible by
Carol
Noonan's latest recording "Waltzing for Dreamers" in partnership with the
kind sponsorship of Maine Beverage Company
Often when SMAC has an act for this series they are an up and coming
act that needs some exposure. Well these guys have been around a long time, but
can still use and deserve some exposure in our neck of the woods. Hot picking,
powerful harmony singing and riotous hijinks that will perk you up between the
“hot young country” acts - that’s the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band! From the
pastoral hills, hollers, shopping malls and interstate highways of
Goodlettsville Tennessee, home of some of country music's legends, comes the
most entertaining “blast from the past” They’re the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band -
five guys and a scrub board, with roots like wisdom teeth. This frolicking
five-some brightens up the stage with rib-tickling old time tunes. Even better,
they have an utter lack of self-consciousness (and some might say any sense of
decorum). The Tennessee Mafia Jug Band not only know the music, they wear the
costumes, tell corny jokes and even do slapstick gags that throw a
cable-TV-numbed audience into hysterics... a little off color and a little bit
of naughty fun. You may have seen them on the Marty Stuart show and if they're
good enough for Marty... they're good enough for SMAC (and you!).

1-603-447-2120 to book this package
Why are they back so soon? Because they are flippin' awesome! This is the
Bluegrass show to see! Deft musicianship, impeccable songwriting, distinctive
vocals and creative arrangements are just some of the qualities that set The
Steep Canyon Rangers apart from the rest of the pack. Unafraid to break the
mold, whether taking the unexpected musical turn or bringing home the surprising
lyric, it's no wonder that Steve Martin chose them as just the right band to
record and tour with. Unquestionably, the Steep Canyon Rangers have come a long
way from their promising beginnings as a band of college friends at UNC-Chapel
Hill in 2000 to becoming the International Bluegrass Music Association’s
Emerging Artist in 2006 to Entertainers of the Year with Steve Martin at IBMA in
2011. Not your average bluegrass experience. Highly SMAC recommended!!

Suzy is a big country star, of course, but to SMAC she is like family. Her
countless hits and platinum records would assume a big attitude as well, but
with Suzy the only big you get is in the heart department. She is as down home
as you can get and her sweet and sultry voice will make you wish the night would
never end. Accompanied by always stellar side men, her show is not to be missed.
Welcome back Suzy and welcome home!

Simply put, there is not a more entertaining Celtic group out there today.
When they are at SMAC the hall explodes! Remember the music that was playing
during the steerage party in Titanic? That was Gaelic Storm, who on their
self-titled debut album way back when, presented an engaging mix of traditional
music, dance music and songs all performed with energy and enthusiasm. That was
many albums ago and they are now one of the most popular Celtic acts around.
Don't miss it!

Robbie Fulks ◄

1-603-447-2120 to book this package
What do you get when you send a Chicago boy to Nashville? He gets back on
the bus... that's what! Thankfully he has found a home in Texas where so many
great alt country song writers do, and if you're angry that country music ain't
what it used to be, then you will love Robbie. The New York Times said, "Fulks
is a gifted guitarist, a soulful singer with an expressive honky-tonk tenor, and
a natural performer. But what really sets him apart is his songwriting, which is
one part artful country, one part artful send-up of country and one part a
little of everything else... It's sort of country meets David Lynch."
That sums him up pretty good. He is a cult favorite among musicians... all you
Buddy Miller, Flatlanders, Jim Lauderdale, Bill Kirchen type fans.. this guy's
for you! Join the Robbie Fulks cult!

One Show Only!
When one banjo is not enough! Yes, the Banjo Powers of the World are coming
together in this banjo jamboree. Béla Fleck (of
Flecktones fame) will
be joined by at least six fellow pickers in performances ranging from solos and
duets to full-tilt blowouts and musically from bluegrass and country to more
unconventional genres, like jazz, classical and rock.
Tony Trischka is a
bluegrass banjo master and was the young Béla Fleck’s teacher. Bill Keith was a
member of both Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys and the
Jim Kweskin Jug Band,
while Eric Weissberg was
one-half of the signature Dueling Banjos instrumental on the "Deliverance"
soundtrack. Richie Stearns plays with jam and trend-setting bands and
Noam Pikelny is part of
the Punch Brothers.

Matuto
◄

1-603-447-2120 to book this package
For lack of a better description, this cool band's music could be called
"Brazilian bluegrass". With an honest love for roots music, genuine Brazilian
styles and improvisational experimentation, Matuto creates a unique and inspired
sound from the heart of New York City’s diverse musical culture.
“The joyous, ebullient music of Matuto merges the forro folkloric music of
Brazil with the sounds of all-American bluegrass. Violin, accordion and a range
of Brazilian percussion give this band, founded by South Carolina native Clay
Ross, a seductively cross-cultural appeal.” –

Two great songwriters in one night!
Ellis is a seasoned songwriter with many folk radio and movie soundtrack hits to
his credit. Born in Maine, but thought of as one of one of Boston's best
contemporary songwriters, his rural roots give his story telling songs that
extra insight that this unique state tends to produce. He is always a great
show.
Antje is considered one of the younger leading forces in American folk music.
Uprooted from Germany at thirteen, she came here to America without knowing the
language and fell in love with the music of folkies like John Gorka, Richard
Shindell and Ani DiFranco. An award winning songwriter SMAC is happy to have her
for the first time.

From SMAC owner, Carol Noonan:
"Every time Bela Fleck is here, like a broken record, I ask. "who is that on
your pre-show music?" It is always the Canadian folkies the Duhks. Their sound
always stops me on my tracks and we finally got 'em here!"
Formed in 2002 in Winnipeg, the members play a blend of Canadian Soul, Gospel,
North American Folk, Brazilian Samba, old time Country string band, Zydeco and
Irish dance music. Hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, their music draws heavily on
all of the North American musical traditions, while successfully integrating
Latin-music-influenced percussion. Their first album, Your Daughters & Your Sons
was nominated for a Juno award. Their eponymous second album won a Juno for Best
Roots & Traditional Album by a Group, and "Heaven's My Home," from their third
album, was nominated for the 2007 Grammy award for Best Country Performance By A
Duo Or Group With Vocal.

Ani DiFranco

1-603-447-2120 to book this package
Since Ani bucked the major label system in the early-‘90s, opting to release
her music on her own terms, the self-described Little Folksinger has been the
subject of all kinds of hyperbole. She’s been called “fiercely independent”
(Rolling Stone), “inspirational” (All Music Guide), “the ultimate do-it-yourself
songwriter” (The New York Times), etc. As the cracks in the music industry get
larger and more big-name artists follow Ani’s lead - Radiohead, Madonna and Nine
Inch Nails among them - maybe people will just start calling her “smart.” SMAC
calls themselves lucky for getting her to their small little hall. Ani
represents the rare few who think out of the box when it comes to the music
industry, and it is that spirit that infects others to do things like putting up
an arts center in the middle of nowhere! SMAC is honored to present this special
show.

ONE SHOW ONLY!
If one word describes Red Molly that word is joyous... an extraordinary
female trio with "tick-tight arrangements, crystalline vocals and caramel
harmonies" that the Boston Globe praised. Red Molly creates music with gorgeous
a cappella ballads, Bluegrass-tinged Folk and a touch of jazzy Western Swing,
all done up in Red Molly's trademark three-part harmonies, signature dobro licks
and inventive arrangements. Red Molly knows about optimism and joy. The band's
fans, referred to as "Red Heads", have always responded to the sense that the
band is a group of friends, sharing songs in their living room. That's exactly
how it felt in 2004 when Laurie MacAllister (guitar, banjo, bass), Abbie Gardner
(dobro, guitar) and Carolann Solebello (guitar, bass) sat around a campfire at
the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, singing and talking about their favorite
songwriters. Knowing they had stumbled into something extraordinary, they formed
Red Molly and spent the next seven years on the road. They did a terrific show
last time, and SMAC is happy to have them back!
