Jersey Boys features an electrifying score including chart-topping hits like “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” The show’s dynamic musical numbers, combined with its engaging narrative, make for a thoroughly entertaining experience that

resonates with audiences of all ages.

Summer Concert with Deep Blue C, Sunday, Aug. 11, 5 – 7 p.m.

A studio orchestra is made up of woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings as in a symphony orchestra. It also includes a rhythm section of guitar, bass guitar, keyboards and drum set as in a jazz combo or show orchestra. It often includes vocalists as well.

Traditionally studio orchestras were assembled by large recording houses (MGM) or in the film industry to enhance the effect of a movie (film scoring) and to extract the most poignant details in the composer’s music.

“Doc” Vose followed his dream to spread this musical excitement and his deep love and respect for the musical contributions of composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David by assembling his own Deep Blue “C” Studio Orchestra, 17 members including vocals. The DB “C” concerts are elegant and classy. You will find our concerts to be unique and memorable, ingredients that are always present. We encourage you to please bring your own picnic to enjoy as you listen to the music. $35 per person. Registration is required as space is limited.

Originally from Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Ms. Eckard graduated with honors, earning a BS degree in Fine Art from the University of WisconsinMadison. BJ moved to New Hampshire in 1989 and is the former owner and publisher of Business NH Magazine. She is also a member of the New Hampshire Art Association.

You will receive firsthand insight into the creative process and the range of techniques craftsmen use.

Every day there will be engaging demonstrations including artistic blacksmithing, woodworking, stained glass, quilting, pewter casting, beaded jewelry making, pottery (stoneware and raku pots), needle felting, woodburning, cyanotypes, rug hooking and much more!
