forty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including five Number

Colvin
Grammy award winning singer songwriter, her song "Sunny Came Home" was a

Grammy award winning songwriter, singer, bassist, former front gal for 80's
Boston based band Till Tuesday (remember "Voices Carry"?) But recently she has

American country-classical chamber music." The New York Times

August 6 (Thursday):
Waybacks
Last year they brought the house down! They draw freely from the old school
and the old world, but The Waybacks are no throwback. They've been erroneously
pigeonholed as a bluegrass band and celebrated as purveyors of "acoustic
mayhem." They are as uninhibited and unpredictable as the eclectic San Francisco
Bay area that claims them, and for nearly a decade their experiments have always
proven sharp-witted and musically dazzling.
Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the
Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional
gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show.

Young, this is a smooth sound from Louisiana, that just makes you happy. Bring

high energy accordion and fiddle driven Cajun music. Back for a third time...
this is a dance show with something for everyone!

dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol
and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets

August 8 (Saturday):
Catie Curtis
&
Ellis Paul
Two great songwriters, one great show. These two friends do their own brand
of contemporary folk, with their heartfelt songs and heartfelt voices. They are
terrific and always put on an outstanding show individually. Together it just
makes that show twice the enjoyment.
Package includes: Two nights lodging with full country breakfast each morning,
dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol
and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets

August 14 (Friday):
Maura
O'Connell
Back for the third time, Maura is to simply put it, just a great singer of
great songs. Her Irish born wit and warmth that she exudes to you from the stage
makes her performances an emotional roller coaster... you'll laugh, you'll cry
and you'll wish you didn't have to wait another year to see her again.
Package includes: Two nights lodging with full country breakfast each morning,

Brownfield Library Benefit with
Paula Poundstone
Our favorite comedian is back for a third time... and this time she will
have with her a brand new CD she recorded at SMAC! If you cannot wait, you can
order it on her website. This is a great night of laughs for a great cause - the
Brownfield Public Library (because this is a much needed benefit, we are
offering a single night package - most weekends in the summer require a two
night minimum... but this little library needs to succeed, so we're making it as
attractive as possible).
Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at
the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and
additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to
the show. $435

August 20 (Thursday):
Dan
Tyminski Band
Since 1994, this Grammy nominated bluegrass ace has been a key component of
the Alison Krauss and Union Station band. With his masterful guitar playing and
signature tenor voice, he is a big part of the Union Station sound. With that
band on hiatus, Tyminski has formed a new incarnation of the Dan Tyminski Band,
with whom he is currently recording a new album and touring with. This new
edition includes longtime Union Station associate Barry Bales (bass), former
Union Station and Mountain Heart member Adam Steffey (mandolin), sideman
extraordinaire Ron Stewart (banjo/fiddle) and newcomer Justin Moses (fiddle/dobro).

Suzy Bogguss
Yes, our favorite gal from down South is coming back! She is known for her
big country hits, but she is much more than just country wrapping. She is a
great singer of all styles of music, a great picker and a great lady.
Package includes: Two nights lodging with full country breakfast each morning,
dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol
and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets
to the show. $555 (Sorry - single night packages not available)

August 22 (Saturday):
Eileen Ivers
To say Eileen is just a fiddler is like saying Tiger Woods is a just a
golfer. She is an explosion from Ireland who along with her virtuosic band mix
deep Celtic roots with a collage of global influences. She's been called a
"sensation" by Billboard magazine and "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin" by The
New York Times. "She electrifies the crowd with a dazzling show of virtuoso
playing" says The Irish Times. Ivers' recording credits include over 80
contemporary and traditional albums and numerous movie scores. Her latest CD,
entitled 'Eileen Ivers & Immigrant Soul' continues to display why Ivers is
hailed as one of the great innovators and pioneers in the Celtic and World music
genres.

dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol
and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets
to the show. $540 (Sorry - single night packages not available)

August 28 (Friday):
Paula Cole
This amazing singer honored us by performing on our little Stone Mountain
LIVE show in February. She wowed the audience with her unstoppable voice and
heartfelt songs. Paula is know for her hits, like "Where Have All the Cowboys
Gone", but there is so much more to her than a pop radio hit. She is, simply
put, one of the best singers of our generation. Oh, and her backing musicians
aren't too shabby either (our own Kevin Barry from the Tone Mountain LIVE shows
for one!).
Package includes: Two nights lodging with full country breakfast each morning,
dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol
and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets
to the show. $555 (Sorry - single night packages not available)

August 29 (Saturday): Slaid
Cleaves
Slaid Cleaves started his career with the Moxie men right over in Maine. Now
he is known as much in Texas as he is in our fine neighboring state... and
swings easily between the two. His songwriting is deeply rooted in the Austin
songwriting scene... shades of Joe Ely and Lyle Lovett come to mind. He is not
to be missed!
Package includes: Two nights lodging with full country breakfast each morning,
dinner at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol
and additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets
to the show. $505 (Sorry - single night packages not available)

September 18 (Friday):
Dave Mallett
Maine's own singer songwriter Dave Mallett has written songs for the likes
of John Denver, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul & Mary. But no one quite
sings his songs the way he does. In his own words, " I like to keep in touch
with the past because to me, music is timeless... I try to write songs that
would have meant something to those who have gone before us as well as those yet
to come." And he does just that. He is a great story teller through his songs,
as well as his voice, and his one of Maine's most proud traditions.

Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional
gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show.

September 26 (Saturday):
Lori McKenna
The sweetest singer songwriter you are ever going to meet! She is critically
acclaimed for her work as a song writer and heavy hitters like country star
Faith Hill have recorded a pile of her songs. Faith is great, but no one sings
Lori's songs like Lori... ome see why she's a SMAC favorite!
Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the
Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional
gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show.

September 27 (Sunday):
Buffy Sainte-Marie
Academy Award-winning, Canadian First Nations musician, composer,
visual artist, pacifist,
educator
and social activist... these are a few of the
things that are attached to the resume of yet another great artist from Canada,
Buffy Stainte-Marie. Born on the Piapot Cree Indian reserve, the challenges of
the Native American is her passion. But what she is most known for for is the
impact she made as a singer and songwriter. Her song "Until It's Time for You to
Go" was recorded by Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand and Cher. Her "Universal
Soldier" became the anthem of the peace movement and many of her songs became
billboard hits. Since 1996 she has limited her concert appearances to about
twenty a year, speaking engagements to about the same number and focused her
time mostly on the Cradleboard Teaching Project, using her multimedia skills to
create accurate, enriching core curriculum based in Native American cultural
perspectives. SMAC is lucky to be one of the twenty!
Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the
Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional
gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show.

October 1 (Thursday):
Richard Thompson
One of the best guitar players of our lifetime! Some of the most moving
songs you've ever heard are his and when he sings them, he becomes who he writes
about. His early years were spent with Fairpoint Convention, but he has always
been on the cutting edge of the creative music scene. A quick sell out.
Here he is doing a favorite tune:

October 15 (Thursday):
Kingston Trio
In 1957 The Kingston Trio emerged from San Francisco's North Beach club
scene to take the country by storm, bringing the rich tradition of American folk
music into the mainstream for the first time. During the late 50s & early 60s,
the Trio enjoyed unprecedented record sales and worldwide fame, while
influencing the musical tastes of a generation. Through changing times, the Trio
has played on, remaining popular for a simple reason... great songs that sound
as good today as the first time you heard them. And fifty-two years after "Tom
Dooley" shot to the top of the charts, the Trio is still on the road thirty
weeks a year, bringing back all the great memories and making new ones. SMAC is
lucky enough to get them during one of those weeks. And speaking of memories,
check out this great Andy Williams show footage of the trio way back when:

October 16 (Friday): David
Francey
From carpenter to songwriter! Since leaving
construction and recording Torn Screen Door in 1999 Scottish-born
Canadian, David Francey is recognized as one of today’s finest
singer-songwriters. Earlier this year Francey’s CD, Right of Passage, earned him
his third JUNO (Canada’s top music award) in less than 5 years. Francey recently
had the honor of receiving the prestigious SOCAN Folk Music Award. He is a great
story teller and a terrific performer... a very fine addition to the SMAC
roster.
Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the
Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional
gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show.

October 17 (Saturday):
Savoy Family Cajun Band
Featuring Ann Savoy and her talented family, they are an honored name in
Cajun music. Carrying on Traditional Cajun Music The Savoy Family Cajun Band
plays honed down, hard-core Cajun music laced with an earthy sensuality. Though
the old tunes have been revived and returned to new life intensity in their
hands, the Savoy Family Cajun band doesn’t play from a studied angle. The
musicians in the band, Marc and Ann Savoy and their sons Joel and Wilson, each
hold their own as strong individual group members, making up a tight, intense
sound. Wilson was here last year with the Pine Leaf Boys.
NOTE: because of limited dinner seating available to make room for a
little dance floor, lodging package seating will be in the balcony.

October 18 (Sunday):
Martin
Sexton
"Plain and simple... he is one of the best singers I have heard in my
lifetime. I was lucky enough to have him sing on one of my albums when he was
kicking around Boston, many, many years ago. Little did I know how big a star
he would become and we most humbly welcome him for a second time to Stone
Mountain." Carol Noonan, Stone Mountain Arts Center
"His outstanding taste in songwriting as well as a soul marinated voice that can
easily be compared to the likes of a young Steve Winwood or Van Morrison."
Rolling Stone

Nanci
Griffith
Up close and personal! Whether performing her own poetically evocative
material or the compositions of her influences, friends and peers, Grammy award
winning Nanci Griffith possesses a powerful gift for inhabiting the songs she
sings - for communicating unspoken intimacy and heartache through her tender
voice and lilting, delicate phrasing. She's back for the second time (and sold
out quickly last year).
Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner at the
Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and additional
gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to the show.

than at Stone Mountain. They have become so dear to SMAC and to everyone else

Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys
The honorary father of bluegrass is back! His distinctive voice is legendary and
was featured in the "O Brother, Where Art Thou" soundtrack. His "stanley" style
banjo playing is just as famous and if you're lucky he'll do some clawhammerin'
on his favorite 5 string. Honorary is right!

Vega

John Gorka
John Gorka is an honored icon of folk tradition. Energetic acoustic music
that is not a trend, not a fad, but an expression of everyday life, is his
trademark. John's rich baritone voice and unique songcraft weave a magical spell
that can only be described as 'Gorka'. "Gorka is widely heralded for the
sophisticated intelligence and provocative originality of his songs." Boston

Tim
O'Brien
Tim is like to an American folkie - that conjures up a lot of styles and
that is Tim. His songs tell stories like a good folk singer should, but his
sound is pure "Americana". Somewhere between Bluegrass and Country with a little
old time mountain music thrown in between, this Grammy award winning singer song
writer is a musician's musician. And he plays guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki
and mandocello! It was a sold out show the last time he was at SMAC... come see
why!
