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 (single and multiple person packages are available - please inquire).

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

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).

Most 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. Also note that Premier Seating is limited and sells out quickly. Once Premier Seating is sold out, package tickets will be for the balcony (the Arts Center only holds 200, so any seat is a great seat!)

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.

NOTE: SMAC packages are priced for two people in one of our standard rooms (queen bed). If available, you can upgrade to our Canopy or King Rooms for an additional $20 or our large two room suite for an additional $40.

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

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.

September 5 (Sunday): Riders in the Sky
click for the artists' website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

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

Happy Birthday John!

September 20 (Monday): John Hiatt
click for the artist's website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

Rolling Stone critic Ira Robbins said of Hiatt: "heartland rock, Philly soul, stately folk, and countrified swing.'' His solo stage show will never disappoint. This is his second time in our little corner of the woods, so don't miss 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. $515

click for the artist's website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

Back for a second time, this Irish singer songwriter and acoustic guitarist - a brother of the
Irish folksinger Christy Moore - arrived in the States and gathered a reputation of his own for his electrifying live shows. He sang backup on the Indigo Girls' "Closer to Fine" and honed a unique brand of contemporary Celtic soul. He sings of love and tragedy and especially about tragic love... and isn't that just like an Irishman!

September 25 (Saturday): Tim O'Brien
click for the artist's website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

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



September 28 (Tuesday): Ani DiFranco
click for the artist's website or call 1-800-343-7336 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) and “the ultimate do-it-yourself songwriter” (The New York Times). 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 just 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.

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. $470

Lots of other musical offerings to satisfy anyone and everyone, make this show one of the best shows to see at SMAC.  It will be a really fun night of music
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.

October 29 (Friday): Tim Sample
click for the artist's website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

Tim's books, albums and videos (including four albums and a video for the Bert and I company) have sold well over a million copies. For eleven years he was a correspondent for CBS News and a regular essayist on the Emmy award winning television show CBS News Sunday Morning.

click for the artist's website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

SMAC has been trying to get this amazing woman for a long time... and finally she will be gracing their stage... emphasis on the grace!

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. $495



November 6 (Saturday): Capitol Steps

Up close and personal! Whether performing her own poetically evocative material or the compositions of her influences, friends and peers, Grammy award winning Nanci Griffith possesses a powerful gift for inhabiting the songs she sings - for communicating unspoken intimacy and heartache through her tender voice and lilting, delicate phrasing.

December 8 (Wednesday): Charo
click for the artist's website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

Okay, forget just the nostalgia of Charo... the dancing... the cuchi- cuchi... the broken English... The real Charo plays flamenco guitar like an athlete on steroids. It was her major in college and those of us in the music business know that what is hidden under the big hair and charming stage banter is an incredible musician. Her ballads are as heartfelt as you can get and she was doing the Shakira thing way before Shakira!  SMAC may seem like an unlikely venue to present her, but come taste a little Vegas and be wowed by this legendary performer. One for the SMAC History Books!

February 4, 2011 (Friday):  Eric Bibb & Harry Manx
click for the artists' website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

This is a killer double bill. For the most part you will find these guys in the Blues circles, but they are by no means your average three chord warriors.

Harry: Canadian Harry Manx, known as the “Mysticssippi” blues man, has been called an “essential link” between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. He has created a unique sound that is hard to forget and deliciously addictive to listen to:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbjk7DK5yb4

Eric:
A performance by Eric Bibb is an enriching experience – both musically and spiritually. Purveying a beautifully realized and deftly accomplished, soulful and gospel infused, folk- blues, Eric has no problem melding a traditional rootsy American style with a subtle contemporary sensibility:

click for the artist's website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

She is amazingly funny, endearing, heartfelt and gracious, and that's why she keeps coming back. She writes about life, love and has an unflinching dedication to social issues that has long characterized her strongest work ads a song writer. When Catie sings her own songs, there is no one better.... and it doesn't hurt that she grew up in Maine neither!

 Mavis Staples & Billy Braggclick for the artist's website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

THE HOPE, LOVE & JUSTICE TOUR

Is this a dream double bill, or what!!
Two artists hailing from different sides of the Atlantic but both bound by the spirit of social justice and activism come together for a special celebration of music.

*Soul and Gospel legend, Mavis Staples is history, plain and simple.  As a member of the equally legendary Staple singers she is part of a rich past of socially conscience music and spirit. The Lifetime Grammy Award winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee was honored as one of Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Singers of all time. She has blessed SMAC by being there three times and they can't wait to have her back!

*Billy Bragg has been described by The Times in London as a "national treasure". Finding inspiration in the socially conscious folk tradition of Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, Bragg has spent over two decades making an indelible mark on the conscience of British music that has carried over to the US and Canada. He has released consistently celebrated solo records as well as two Grammy nominated albums with Wilco: "Mermaid Avenue" (1998) and "Mermaid Avenue, Volume II" (2000). Bragg's most recent CD "Mr. Love and Justice" (2008) blends social justice with the power of personal relationships.

Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer... his 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 sells out!

He is a Grammy winning folk/country/bluesman, guitar player, producer, performer, side man, songwriter... you name it... but we think T-Bone says it best: "John Hammond is a master... he is a virtuoso. A Conjurer... a Modernist... John is in a very small circle of men with a guitar and a harmonica. Jimmy Reed, Howlin' Wolf, Bob Dylan. The guitar is an orchestra. He's sending messages. Storytelling. All mystery. Protection. The language goes out through the night... The Big Boom. Boom the room." - T-Bone Burnett

SMAC cannot get enough of this master Scottish fiddler and his beautiful cellist sidekick. They sell out every time... the show is fun, beautiful and Alasdair is a presence who just makes you feel great. A toe tapping night of fiddle music and Scottish story telling. This is SMAC at its best when these two are here.

April 29, 2011 (Friday): Enter the Haggis
click for the artists' website or call 1-800-343-7336 to book this package

If the Celtic super group, Altan, and rock legend Rush were to have a baby band, it would be Enter the Haggis! They are a high energy collision of Celtic, rock and world styles. A Canadian world Celtic rock band based in Toronto, "ETH", as their know to their fans, could lay claim to possibly 18 different genres of music. With fiddle, bagpipes, electric guitar, bass and drums, these guys have made their band success one fan, one town, one region at a time... and SMAC is yet another stop for this fun group... and just in time for spring fever!

April whips crowds into a fury with her high-speed footwork, angelic voice and stunning musicianship. This Canadian fiddler mixes fine fiddling, aggressive country dancing and a great band making for a thoroughly entertaining show. She is one hard working little musician... a jewel from the North... and she comes highly SMAC recommended.
