NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW BOOKINGS

June 1 HOWIE DAY

Several years after releasing his commercial breakthrough album 

"Stop All The World Now", singer and songwriter Howie Day breaks his silence with his long-awaited third studio album "Sound the Alarm". The album is a stunning collection of the kind of emotionally resonant, melody-minded pop-rock gems that have earned Day a legion of devoted fans over the past 10 years. "Sound the Alarm" comes after more than a decade of touring, during which the Bangor, Maine, native self-released his 2000 debut "Australia" and became a full-time traveling musician. He became known for his powerful one-man shows, connecting with audiences through his charm, humor, the strength of his songwriting, and a warm tenor voice that "soars into fluttering, high registers, but also grates with real, pleading grit," as one critic put it. 

June 13 MARCIA BALL

Singer/pianist Marcia Ball knows how to raise roofs and tear down walls with her infectious, intelligent and deeply emotional brand of southern boogie, rollicking, roadhouse blues and heartfelt ballads. Over the course of her three-decade career, Ball has earned a huge and intensely loyal following all over the world. Her exquisite piano playing and passionate, playful vocals fuse New Orleans and Gulf Coast R&B with Austin's deep songwriting tradition into a sound No Depression described as "a little rock, a lot of roll, a pinch of rhythm and a handful of blues."
