​On Sunday, Feb. 10, at 7 p.m., the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts is hosting a fundraiser concert at the Colebrook Country Club for the new Center for the Arts facility in Columbia (the former Shrine of Our Lady of Grace). The new Arts Center was purchased in July of 2018 by the GNWCA and is presently undergoing infrastructure upgrades.

For the fundraiser concert, the GNWCA has secured the trio known as the Bayley-Hazen Boys from Barnet, Vt. The popular band provides first-rate bluegrass music fresh from the hills of Vermont. The trio are former members of the bluegrass band Gopher Broke. 

​Prince Edward Island fiddler Richard Wood and guitarist Gordon Belsher will be performing in concert on Tuesday evening, Jan. 15, at the Rialto Theater in Lancaster.

A rising Bluegrass band is coming to the North Country on Wednesday, Nov. 7.  That night, the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts will present Mile Twelve, a dynamic Boston-based band formed just four years ago.

​The Harp Twins—featuring identical twin sisters Camille and Kennerly–are returning to the North Country bringing dynamic acoustic and electric rock harps. This show, hosted by the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts, will be inside the majestic Rialto Theater in downtown Lancaster on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. This duo has been one of the top shows presented in the region by the GNWCA.

​If you enjoy retro-Rock music from the 1960s and ’70s and like to dance, the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts invites you to the Colebrook Country Club on Saturday, Nov. 3. That night local favorites Rock On will be turning out the hits from yesterday.​
