The Dance Hall

The Dance Hall brings you Daisy's Big Parade- a story about the internal struggle between being who you are &amp; who the world tells you to be.
The two main characters in the story are Daisy and Anna Lee. They are in fact, the same person. Daisy is the mask we put on to please the world. Daisy seeks fame, fortune, attention and will mow down anyone in her path to get it. She is a reckless addict who cares about one thing- herself. Daisy wants the world to adore her. She wants her big parade.
The Band:
Taylor O’Donnell: voice/piano Mike Effenberger: keys PJ Donahue: Drums Brad Myrick: guitar Scott Kiefner: upright, electric bass Stefanie Guzikowski: voice Nate Laban: guitar/voice
On this record, Daisy is represented by the bluesy band pieces. The first three tracks give us a good glimpse at the loose cannon that Daisy is. It’s not until track 4 that we start to see the other side of Daisy, the side she does not want the world to see- Anna Lee.
Anna Lee is fully revealed to us in track 5. We see the scared little girl that lives inside of Daisy. We start to peel away the layers to reveal Daisy’s true self, the side she tries so desperately to hide from the world.
”Goes Down Easy” shows us Daisy’s inability to love herself and the refusal to let anyone truly love her. She does not feel worthy of being loved.
The title track “Big Parade “ followed by “Animal “ deal with Daisy’s reflection on her troubled, traumatic past. This leads us into “Mr. Reaper “ as Daisy starts her transition from life to death. The spoken word and chorus represent Daisy’s soul and guardian angel.
The album concludes with the return of “Big Parade “. This version is stripped down to voice and piano. This is meant to show that no matter how much we gain in this world, all we are left with in the end is our true self. The parade, no matter how big it is, has to end eventually.
“The lonely twilight settles in, to force the streets to work again, like a sad love story’s last line “

Exeter Town Hall (10 Front Street, Exeter, NH),

📍 
A public meeting is being held to discuss the impact of the Exeter Hospital merger—what it means for access, cost, and services in our community.
These conversations matter. Across New Hampshire, changes in hospital systems are affecting how and where people receive care, often in ways that aren’t always clear to patients and families. 
This is an opportunity to:
<ul><li>Hear what’s changing</li><li>Ask questions</li><li>Share your experience and perspective</li></ul>
👉 Learn more and attend: <a target="_blank" href="https://null" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.nhhealthcostinitiative.org/blog/public-meeting-on-exeter-hospital<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" aria-hidden="true" data-rtl-flip="" class="block h-[0.75em] w-[0.75em] stroke-current stroke-[0.75]"><use href="/cdn/assets/sprites-core-f8sla627.svg#304883" fill="currentColor"></use></svg></a>
