Summer Concert Series

Barnstead Truffle.jpg

This Saturday, July 19 at 6:00 pm, Barnstead Parks and Recreation is happy to welcome Truffle back to the Summer Concert Series stage. 

 

The Truffle acoustic trio consists of David Bailey (bass, vocals), Ned Chase (mandolin, guitar, lap steel & vocals), and Dave Gerard (vocals, acoustic & resonator guitars). These three musicians have been creating music together since 1986.  They have performed in all but ten states across the U.S., playing as many as 275 shows in one year. 

 

Truffle has achieved widespread popularity by headlining many respected venues as well as sharing the stage with international acts such as Little Feat, Phish, The Band, Dave Matthew’s Band, David Lindley, and Blues Traveler to name only a few. 

 

Truffle has released five albums, as well as contributing to Gerard’s four solo records and assorted compilations.  Their music has also appeared on multiple major motion picture soundtracks. 

 

The trio’s groove-driven acoustic style has a sound all its own. With elements of soul, bluegrass, R&B, and world beat, they bring a well rounded set of “music-Americana” to the stage.  Their love of acoustic music, and a different set list and approach from their electric shows, creates a truly unique listening experience. We hope you will enjoy the show!

 

Please support the Barnstead Historical Society, which will be on hand offering concessions.  As always, please remember that smoking, alcohol and glass containers are prohibited on the Parade Grounds.

 


 

Nighthawk Hollow Seniors News

Submitted By Beverly A. Goodrich, Secretary

 

The Nighthawk Hollow Seniors enjoyed a lunchtime cookout at Christine Sanborn’s cottage on Suncook Lake in Barnstead on Wednesday, July 2. Members grilled meats, and also devoured corn on the cob, pasta salad, Fritos, butter pecan ice cream, soft drinks, but our tummies were too full to partake of the muffins, cherries, apple crisp, or s’mores.

 

Even though it was hot and muggy, a cool breeze eventually cooled us off and then it clouded over and started to rain. A short business meeting followed.

 

On August 6, at 12 noon, we will meet at the Barnstead Town Hall. Please bring a sandwich and a drink for yourself. We will be reminiscing about our childhood years - what fun we had!

 

To join, just come! Dues at $4 a year are a bargain. For more infomation, please call President, Christine Sanborn, 875-2676.
