Fans of mountain music are in for a real treat on Saturday, Aug. 13, as the Great North Woods Committee for the Arts brings back performer Alex Smith from upstate New York in a coffeehouse concert. The performance will be held in the gallery of The Tillotson Center on Carriage Lane in Colebrook at 7 p.m. Admission to the concert is $15.
“We are happy to again host Alex and his style of Americana music,” said GNWCA President Charlie Jordan. “We are delighted to have Alex return, as he made quite an impression on our audience last year.”
Bob Everhart of Country Music News International says of Alex Smith’s music, “Alex is a wonderful poetic writer who captures words full of meaning, matching them with creative music that creeps quietly into the past at the same time as dancing with the present, and sneaking a peek at the future.” Yet another reviewer said, “With a voice as deep and dark as an Irish Stout, and acoustic arrangements that wind and curve as if following the course and contour of a river, Alex Smith exemplifies our cultural ideal of what a folk singer should be.” Songs like “Hamilton County” and “North Country Girl” give Alex a chance to show-case his deep, rich sound that sings of life in the north.
Tickets are available at Fiddleheads, 110 Main St., Colebrook, or at the door. General admission prices for the night are: adults, $15; students, $12; children under 12, $5.
