Special CD Release Concert Prescott Park Arts Festival

Special CD Release Concert on March 3

Fiddler-Singer Joyce Andersen

 

Greetings!

We're well on our way to building another great summer season, but are proud to be part of a special CD Release Concert for none other than the Seacoast's own fiddler-singer virtuoso, Joyce Andersen!!

.

 

Joyce has made a name for herself as a sought-after fiddler and singer in the Northeast for the last 20 years. Her fiery fiddling has run the gamut from Nashville country, alt rock, swing, bluegrass, Celtic and folk, to various traditional fiddle styles.

 

Her travels have taken her from Carnegie Hall to the Conan O'Brien show.

 

Join us on Saturday, March 3, at 7:30pm at the South Church for this special CD release concert.

 

The concert will also feature Harvey Reid, hailed as "one of the true treasures of American acoustic music" and a "giant of the steel strings".

 

Tickets are $15 and just $10 for Prescott Park Arts Festival members are available by clicking here.

 

Renew your Season Membership here and start enjoying your savings right away with a discounted ticket.

 

Best wishes and see you at the concert for a great night of incredible music!

DNC - FW: Statement of Portsmouth Mayor Tom Ferrini on Romney's Visit

Statement of Portsmouth Mayor Tom Ferrini on Romney's Visit

Portsmouth, NH - Today, Mayor Tom Ferrini released the following statement as Mitt Romney visits Portsmouth, NH.

"Last week, Mitt Romney released a television ad titled 'Moral Responsibility.'  One issue that should have been a part of that ad is the moral responsibility to our seniors, to students and to New Hampshire families who are struggling to make ends meet. It wasn't part of the ad, and it does not seem to be part of Romney's agenda.

Romney supports the Republican budget that would burden our seniors. When asked he has refused to even answer how he would stem rising tuition costs that are burdening New Hampshire students. Romney's proposal provides only $54 in tax relief for working families, while he called the President proposed $1000 tax cut a 'little bandaid.'

President Obama has proposed the American Jobs Act that would provide tax relief to 30,000 New Hampshire small firms, get teachers and first responders back to work in the Granite State and modernize our schools. Romney opposes the legislation.

President Obama is committed to making smart investments in our workforce, our young people and our future. Mitt Romney falls short for New Hampshire families."
