    Gallery Artist Raymond Lacasse.

    I have always loved the outdoors, wildlife and scenery. I have enjoyed capturing my passion with photography. I started my interest in photography about 40 years ago when I was in my 20s and took a couple of classes. A great friend, Jay Kennedy, who was a professional photographer helped me tremendously.

    I studied other photographers' styles and slowly polished my craft. I started getting really serious about 10 years ago. Then began selling my photographs at Arts and Crafts events.

    I opened my own gallery a little over two years ago, Great North Woods Gallery and More located on Main Street in Pittsburg, New Hampshire. I provide gallery space for several artists and crafters along with a varied selection of my photographs. My phots are printed on an aluminum plate which is lightweight and is ready to hang on a wall. The gallery is open most weekends in all seasons.

    "Adam lives what he writes and writes what he lives, allowing him to deeply connect with those he plays for and alongside of.” 

    ~ Trevor Gordon Hall

    These words will certainly ring true with anyone who has experienced Adam’s thoughtful songwriting firsthand.

    His music is lush and colorfully melodic. Lyrically, his work is personal, deep, thoughtful, and often evocative. His is a performance that resonates so authentically with listeners that it’s not unusual to find some of the audience in tears before Adam lifts them back up with some friendly banter or well-placed comedic relief.

    The Clements Brothers are George and Charles Clements, identical twins from New England. They’ve been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember and ‘The Clements Brothers’ marks their first project together since playing in the internationally touring grass-roots band, ‘The Lonely Heartstring Band’ with whom they put out two albums on Rounder Records. With roots, rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical influences, George (on guitar) and Charles (on bass) aim to capture their singer-songwriter sensibilities in a unique blended voice, at once enthralling and intimate, groovy and serene. They are joined by drummer Mike Harmon, who joined the band after an impromptu late night set at the Ossipee Music festival, and adds his unique roots-conscious musicality to the group's evolving sound.  The trio is a fusion of each member's unique musical journey, and the result is music all its own, filled with vocal harmonies, instrumental virtuosity, and a genuine love of song.

    Admission $15/$5 Students.

    Little by little, you will get to know Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards through their unmistakable vocal harmonies, poetic lyrics and down-to-earth personae. They are a married musical couple based out of Webster, Massachusetts.  These prolific and hard working Massachusetts-based artists have contributed over seventeen albums within their first decade and toured consistently throughout the US and Canada. Their songs poetically reflect personal experiences as factory workers, teachers, community organizers, and natives of post-industrial mill towns in central Massachusetts. The memories of days gone by and toils of history can be better remembered through songs such as “That Old Machine” or “Winds of Change.” Listeners feel refreshed lyrics with references to elements in nature.
