◄
click for the artists' website or call
1-800-343-7336 to book this package
This Canadian Celtic Band Nova Scotia's Cape Breton comprises
beautiful dancing, singing, and some wild energy. The quartet, Ciarán and Fiona,
Claire and Bruce, has become the evolutionary culmination that is now The
Cottars. Feast is their fourth CD, extending and expanding The Cottars’ music
without ever losing track of their roots. Their roots show through clearly when
they dust off something old and masterfully link it with something more
contemporary.
Their concert material ranges from traditional balladry to a pair of Tom Waits
songs, with performances that combine youthful exuberance and a mature
virtuosity. Though the instrumental numbers should keep your toes tapping as the
Cottars apply fiddle, whistle, banjo, and piano to a sprightly selection of
jigs, reels, and even a polka medley - the lush, supple vocals of Fiona
MacGillivray give the music its emotional depth and resonance. You will love
this band!
Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner
at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and

Suzanne
Vega ◄
click for the artist's website or call
1-800-343-7336 to book this package
Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant songwriters of her
generation, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk-music revival
of the early 1980s when, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, she sang what
has been labeled contemporary folk or neo-folk songs of her own creation in
Greenwich Village clubs. As vital and interesting an artist as she was then,
wait until you hear her now. Don't miss it!

March 2 (Friday): Recession Session with Kevin Barry & Consuelo Candelaria-Barry◄
call
1-800-343-7336 to book this package
Recession Session shows are concerts that are easy on your
wallet, but heavy on the talent. This combo is no exception. SMAC did this show
last year and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it!! You cannot not love
Consuelo. She is not only a beautiful jazz and Latin influenced pianist and
composer but she is also a beautiful person. And you know Kevin as one of the
stellar guitar players of the Stone Mountain Boys, and a side man to the likes
of great artists like Ray Lamontagne and Mary Chapin Carpenter. And did you know
that Kevin is married to this kick-ass pianist? Though she is hugely Latin and
jazz influenced, Consuelo can easily shift her ivory gears to the country,
swing, and blues stylings of her husband Kevin. She is really something special
as many of you have seen when she's been a guest for a Stone Mountain LIVE show.
Accompanied by some equally amazing players, Ron Mahdi- acoustic bass, Ricardo
Monzon- percussion, Steve Langone- drums, this will be a great night of
instrumental music with a Latin vibe and a fun fusion of styles. A marriage made
in music!
Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner
at the Inn before the show (gratuity for dinner is included, but alcohol and

her songs. Faith is great, but no one sings Lori's songs like Lori... come see
why SMAC loves her!

◄

1-800-343-7336 to book this package
Nerissa and Katryna Nields have been the darlings of the
coffeehouse/festival scene since 1991 with tunes ranging from off-the-hook
idiosyncratic to kicking to heartbreaking. They have always challenged the mind
even as they touched the heart. The sisters are sincere and engaging live and
their beautiful harmonies will set a dreamy night of music for all to enjoy.
This concert is part of SMAC's "Waltzing for Dreamers" series... the tickets are
free and therefore the lodging packages are very reasonably priced!

Carolina
Chocolate Drops
◄
click for the artists' website or call
1-800-343-7336 to book this package
This recent Grammy award winning band is getting bigger and buzzier:
Rolling Stone said, "The Carolina Chocolate Drops are... revisiting, with a
joyful vengeance, black string-band and jug-band music of the Twenties and
Thirties - the dirt-floor dance electricity of the Mississippi Sheiks and
Cannon’s Jug Stompers." And that is very true, but they also have an edgy, even
urban at times, accent that makes their shows so fun to watch and hear. They are
touring a new album produced by Buddy Miller and SMAC is grateful that they are
along for their rise to stardom!! Highly SMAC Recommended!
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. $385

Comedian
Bob Marley◄
click for the artist's website or call
1-800-343-7336 to book this package
You know him, you love him... celebrating 15 years as a stand-up
comic, Maine's own Bob Marley is one of the hottest and most sought after
comedians in the country. He is as nice a guy as he is funny, and he raised more
than $12,000 for the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital after setting a new
world's record for longest continuous stand-up routine as recognized by the
Guinness Book of Records. He has been featured in his own special on Comedy
Central, and is one of the few comics to do the complete late night TV circuit:
The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night
with Conan O'Brien and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Craig Kilborn.
But all those accolades aside, he's just a regular guy and SMAC can't get enough
of him. Always a sell-out!
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

click for the artist's website or call
1-800-343-7336 to book this package
He's back! Ever since his last sold out performance at SMAC, people have
been clamoring for the return of this legendary eclectic guitarist. Widely known
for his innovative fingerpicking style, which draws on influences from blues,
jazz and folk music, Kottke is one of the most admired instrumentalists of our
generation. Phish bassist, Mike Gordon has done two albums with him proving
Kottke's musical hero status in the 21st century. His touring runs are brief,
due to the toll his style of playing takes on his hands... so SMAC is lucky to
have him there. Don't miss this one!
Package includes: One nights lodging with full country breakfast, dinner

additional gratuity is not), a shuttle to and from the show and two tickets to

Featuring one of SMAC's favorite Cajun Musicians, Ann Savoy! She has been
there with the Savoy family and her sweet voice and playing will swirl you down
to Louisiana. The "Sisters" is a band of women who can play many styles of
French music from southwest Louisiana. From dancehall Cajun to primitive
Creole, from house music to front porch ballads, they are an ideal band for
concerts, festivals or rocking dance parties. Part of the body of the Magnolia
Sisters music has been gleaned from a long-buried wealth of Cajun jewels found
in the Sisters’ extensive music archives. Their album Stripped down was
deservedly nominated for a Grammy. So come to listen or bring your dancing
shows... there will be room to do both!

James Hunter ◄
click for the artist's website or call
1-800-343-7336 to book this package
James Hunter is one of those hidden gems that the music industry doesn't
have the good sense to make a superstar. He is a Grammy nominated crooner who
has been compared to the likes of Ray Charles, Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke. He
is a favorite among musicians... Van Morrison has championed him and Willie
Nelson has taken him on tour. He is a British guitar slinging soul man with a
band that handles the R&B styles like they played it in the day. If you don't
know his name, you should. You will love this show!

1-800-343-7336 to book this package
This group brings back rockabilly sounds of a country times gone by, The
rollicking country swing of the Sweetback Sisters is as infectious as it is
heartbreaking. Their charismatic charm harkens back to the golden era of both
the silver screen cowgirl and cowboy of yesteryear. While Zara Bode and Emily
Miller stand out front with their matching dresses and seamless harmonies, they
are quick to point out that the Sweetback Sisters are a band, made all the
richer by the contributions of drummer Stefan Amidon, Ross "Rolling Thunder"
Bellenoit on Telecaster and vocals, guitarist and fiddler Jesse Milnes, and
newcomer Bridget Kearney on bass. Put on your best cowboy boots and come on
down!
What's a Barn Burner? It's not a block party, its not a barn dance, its not
a club gig... it's all of those things!!! Barn Burners are a roadhouse style
show with a cheap ticket, that we will be held in the Quisisana Barn... less
formal, more like a club or a barn party. Remember those days when you stood in
the back of the room, holding a beer and swaying to your favorite band? Well now
you can relive those days, in a country way!

Connie Smith ◄

1-800-343-7336 to book this package
When you hear people talk about country music, this is the sound and the
voice they should be talking about. She is the real deal... country plain and
simple. Yes, the honorable country legend Miss Connie Smith will be gracing the
SMAC stage for the first time and they are busting with excitement for this
special performer to come up their humble hill. There is a lot to read about
her... between her Grand Ole Opry fame status to her countless hits and country
music awards. She has been out of the spotlight for awhile to admirably raise
her children while she put her musical gifts on hold until now. Most people are
familiar with her hit "Once a Day" and many have gotten to know her through her
country star husband, Marty Stuart. SMAC was lucky enough to get a guest
appearance from her one of the times when Marty was there. This is a show you
should not miss!

Session Americana ◄
click for the artists' website or call
1-800-343-7336 to book this package
What began as an informal gathering has blossomed into one of Americana’s
most impressive musical collectives. The six core rootsy members of Session
Americana gather around a single table with ambient mics. The set-up lends
itself to a free-form and relaxed feel that lets the group swap instruments as
easily as they swap songs. They have all been part of the who's who of the
Boston music scene over the years, so they bring a huge variety of styles to the
table literally... folk and bluegrass, American and Celtic traditional,
alternative country, acoustic rock... you name it. But it is the relationship
between them that will draw you in... and that table! Don't miss this rare
setting for some great music. Oh, and there is rumor guitarist
Duke
Levine might be sitting in on this one.

to create the appealing sound he sometimes calls "Folk Jazz". The lyrics of his
songs range from the simply sublime to the sublimely ridiculous, all presented
with his uniquely skewed and inscrutable touch. Dan's irresistible sense of
rhythm, hip lyrical styling, laid-back vocalizing and infamous on-stage wit will
make most who listen fans for life. He's a snappy dresser, too. Dan tours

It is hard to believe when you see Tom Rush that he could have been doing
this for fifty years... but it's true! Fifty years of folk legend status and
counting! Tom came up in the Boston/Cambridge folk scene of the early '60s,
playing folk-blues on a series of albums for Prestige Records, then moved to
Elektra, and by the late '60s was interpreting the work of such upcoming writers
as Joni Mitchell and James Taylor. By the early '70s, he was mixing his own
songs on albums for Columbia. More recently, Rush became something of a folk
packager, putting together road shows including newer folk performers. He is a
terrific performer... come and celebrate his impressive career!

Folk Rockers Knots and Crosses was a cult favorite and a
critically acclaimed band on the rise in the early nineties. But a failed deal
with major label Island Records and a failed marriage between the two lead
singers made for an untimely demise of this great potential of a band. "Crosses"

Harris. After almost a two decade hiatus, the band is back together for this
special night with the help of the the famous Stone Mountain Boys featuring

their own Stone Mountain LIVE show. He is fiery pianist, songwriter and singer.
As funny as he is talented, his shows are a roller coaster of emotion.
"I’d have to say that Kenny White has earned a place among my favorite
singer/songwriters... and particularly, lyricists. As we say in the trade "he
goes deep". A true wordsmith AND musician who reveals a fine sense of humor as
well. Put on your headphones and listen carefully.”- David Crosby

SMAC cannot get enough of this master Scottish fiddler and his beautiful
cellist sidekick, Natalie Haas. They sell out every time... the show is fun,
beautiful and Alasdair is a presence who just makes you feel great. A toe
tapping night of fiddle music and Scottish story telling. This is SMAC at its
best when these two are here!
