Enjoy songs and stories from host Katie Dobbins and two additional guest acts as they perform acoustically in-the-round. New songwriters will be featured on the last Wednesday of every month in this intimate series! Tickets are $10 – $15 at hermitwoods.com. Artist Bios Katie Dobbins Award winning singer-songwriter and light warrior Katie Dobbins seeks to share honest music that captivates listeners and brings light to the darkness. With a mastery of storytelling and the heart of a poet, this soulful songstress captures elements of life and relationships in ways that lift the spirit and challenge the soul. Her album There Is Light, produced by multi-award-winning producer Sean McLaughlin of 37′ Productions, was awarded Album of the Year at the 2021 Limelight Music Awards. Her single There’s a Light, mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Jeff Lipton, was featured on Spotify’s Editorial playlist. Her music has been featured on prominent radio stations like The River and “Boston’s Hottest Country,” with host Carolyn Kruse raving “Sweet but bold, Katie’s voice is reminiscent of one of her heroes, Jewel, but only deeper… A fearless spirit with a gentle touch.” Dobbins’ latest single Wild, written on the rocks at Marginal Way in Maine, sings of wild love that compels her to step outside of her comfort zone and toward the wild dreams in her heart. The track was mixed and mastered by Emmy-nominated producer Brian Coombes of Rocking Horse Studio (NH), whom Katie also produced her single Just Cause I Can with, and whom she is currently recording more music with to be released this year. katiedobbinsmusic.com *For photo, please credit: Kris Dobbins Jeanette Jeanette’s love of music began at the age of 2, thanks to her Mom and Dad she was listening to everything from Dylan to Hendrix. At age 10 she began to teach herself how to play guitar and not too long after began writing and recording original music. Everyday after school, music was the only thing she wanted to do. As soon as she felt confident enough to play out she found every open mic around and dragged her parents all around the state of Maine. Since then her love of music has taken her so many places, from trying out for The Voice in New York to recording her first EP in Nashville. You can now catch Jeanette streaming live on Twitch and playing shows all around the U.S. Jeanette has honed her sound to bring together her love of Folk, Country and Pop Music bringing you a show you won’t want to miss! Marlena Phillips Marlena is a full-time piano-playing Singer/Songwriter in NH. She has been featured as a support act for well-known artists, such as Phil Vassar, Norah Jones, Joan Osborne, Cheap Trick and Rod Stewart. Recently, she’s been the headliner for ticketed theater shows. Venues include Bank of NH Pavilion, The Palace Theatres, Rex Theatre, Flying Monkey Performance Center, The Park Theatre, Winnipesaukee Playhouse, Newport Grand Casino, Naswa Resort, White Mt Hotel & Resort, Indian Head Resort, Town & Country Inn, LaBelle Wineries, etc. She’s booked regularly by travel companies and resorts to perform for tourist groups. Whether on stage or off, Marlena’s genuine & infectious personality uplifts her audiences. Add to that a voice that’s both soothing and energizing at the same time, she’s been described as a cross between Karen Carpenter, Faith Hill, Adele and Whitney Houston. Listen once, and you’ll be back. Marlena writes and records her own original music on an ongoing basis, enjoying the musicianship of both local and Nashville musicians and producers. Residing in NH, Marlena has been signing professionally all of her adult life. Come check her out, and see why her following is growing quickly. A Listening Room Experience Hermit Woods is excited to bring talented artists from New England and beyond to perform for you. Each performance will provide you with an intimate, up-close, and personal experience with the performing artists. We ask our audience please refrain from talking during the featured show.

I sit on a board with GWAC and also they are a client of mine so we would like to invite you.  Makers Mill and the Governor Wentworth Arts Council (GWAC), two local organizations with a shared mission of fostering creativity, are collaborating on the Upcycled Fashion Show: an event that is designed to celebrate ingenuity, community spirit, and environmental awareness. The date of the show correlates with Earth Day celebrations around the world!   Upcycling takes worn or used materials and transforms the old into something new, and typically, more valuable. The Upcycled Fashion Show encourages participants to create upcycled fashion designs crafted from recycled or repurposed materials, either in teams or individually. Each design must incorporate upcycled elements. To get you in the upcycling spirit, the Makers Mill is hosting several workshops in the weeks leading up to the show that focus on repurposing materials. You can learn more and register for the workshops on the Makers Mill website.

Join us at the League of NH Craftsmen – Meredith Fine Craft Gallery on Saturday, May 4th, 2024 from 9 am – 4 pm for a Beginner Stained Glass Class with juried artist Susanna Ries. This high-paced class will have you cutting; copper foiling, soldering, and framing a stained glass panel in one day. Choose your own design from patterns supplied by the instructor, or you can use one from another source, so long as it is constructed of twelve glass pieces or less. Basic stained glass construction will be taught and you will go home with a finished piece that is ready to hang! You will need to bring: cork board at least 16 x 20 inches, masking tape, apron, scissors, thick latex gloves (such as dishwashing gloves, NOT disposable), safety glasses (if you wear glasses you do not need safety glasses), very casual clothes and covered shoes (NO SANDALS), and a gallon-size zip lock bag (additional zip lock bags may also come in handy for storing solder or foil). Tuition is $55.00 per student with a $45 materials fee paid to the instructor on the day of class. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Those who wish to take the class MUST sign up by Monday, April 29th.

Presented by The Laconia Putnam Fund 50th Anniversary Spring Concerts 2024 The 100-voice Pemigewasset Choral Society, under the direction of William Gunn, presents "Sweet Rivers." The chorus will premiere a commissioned work by internationally recognized composer Moira Smiley. Her composition, “I Soared Without Regret,” is a musical setting of the powerful poem, “Flying,” by former Plymouth State University professor Jane Babin, who died from ALS in 2015. The chorus will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra for several pieces including the beautiful “Mass in G” by Franz Schubert, “Sweet Rivers” by Shawn Kirchner, and a collection of other dynamic choral works that celebrate the positive impact of music in our lives.
