David Francey, a Scottishborn Canadian folk singer and songwriter, will perform an intimate concert at Peterborough Unitarian Universalist Church at 25 Main St., Peterborough at 7 p.m. Nov. 19. Known for his authentic storytelling through song, Francey documents the working person’s life, drawing on his own experiences as a former carpenter and laborer across Canada.

Francey moved from Scotland to Canada at age twelve, and for decades worked in rail yards, construction sites, and remote areas, writing songs that capture the struggles and stories of everyday life. In 1999, encouraged by his wife, Beth Girdler, he recorded his first album, Torn Screen Door, which quickly gained popularity in Canada. Since then, Francey has released eleven albums, won three Juno Awards, and earned accolades like the SOCAN Folk Music Award and the Grand Prize in both the International Acoustic Music Awards and John

Community Players present “Bye Bye Birdie” The Community Players of Concord will stage the classic musical “Bye Bye Birdie” on Nov. 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 24 at 2 p.m. at the Concord City Auditorium, 2 Prince St. This Tony Award-winning musical comedy, inspired by Elvis Presley’s induction into the Army, follows songwriter and talent manager Albert Peterson, whose star client, rock ‘n’ roll idol Conrad Birdie, is drafted into the military. Peterson’s fiancée, Rosie Alverez, proposes a publicity stunt: have Birdie kiss a fan goodbye live on the Ed Sullivan Show as he sings his new single, “One Last Kiss.” The small-town chaos ensues when the

couple and Birdie’s team descend upon Sweet Apple, Ohio, to execute the plan.

Directed by Judy Hayward, with musical direction

by Henry Kopczynskie III and choreography by Allyson Thorpe, the production features popular songs from Charles Strouse and Lee Adams, including “Put on a Happy Face” and “Got a Lot of Living to Do.” Hayward said she chose “Bye Bye Birdie” for its nostalgic charm, aiming to create “a blast to the past” and evoke memories for the audience.

The cast includes Nathan Smith as Albert, Annie Lelios as Rosie, Valerie Kdonian Kehr as Mae Peterson, and Travis Laughlin as

She meets the bride, Lila, Spiraling two years after an unexpected divorce from her when she rushes into the lobby elevator as Phoebe is professor husband, she trying to escape the crowds booked the nicest, most ex-

of wedding people checking in. Lila has planned a “perfect” wedding, which starts with having booked the entire hotel for their guests, and is quite unhappy to learn that Phoebe somehow got a reservation during “her” event.

Phoebe and Lila immediately engage, both of them somehow free to be honest with each other as they are strangers without any emo-

tional or family connection.

They end up being sounding boards, with Lila pulling Phoebe into an active role in the wedding party.

This strange relationship ends up bringing Phoebe back to life, as she can’t help wondering how this wedding is going to unfold. The relationships between wedding party members, and the bride and groom themselves are gradually revealed as the week progresses.

he League of New Hampshire Craftsmen will showcase two exhibitions, Mentors & Apprentices: Work from Maine + New Hampshire’s 2024 Craft Apprentice Program and Crafting Joy: The Art of Optimism, at its Headquarters Exhibition Gallery in Concord. These displays run through Dec. 6.

Mentors & Apprentices highlights the creative output of seven pairs of mentor craft artists and apprentices from the 2024 Craft Apprentice Program (CAP). Established in 2016 by the Maine Crafts Association, with support from the Maine Arts Commission, CAP expanded to New Hampshire in 2023 through a partnership with the League of NH Craftsmen, creating new opportunities for artists in New England to

experience the mentorship process. The program covers diverse crafts, including green wood furniture making, basket weaving, natural dye and hand weaving, wood instrument creation, pottery, wood firing, and sustainable textiles. This exhibition celebrates the seven-month journey of learning and skill-sharing that culminates in the display of each pair’s final project.

Kate Saunders, Interim Executive Director of the League of NH Craftsmen, expressed enthusiasm for hosting the CAP exhibition in New Hampshire for the first time. “We are excited to share the diversity of work and thought with our League community and honor the importance of passing craft traditions from maker to maker,” she

said.

Alongside Mentors & Apprentices, the League presents Crafting Joy: The Art of Optimism, which asked member artists to submit work that emphasizes positive perspectives. Featuring 38 artists across mediums including glass, fiber, printmaking, photography, clay, jewelry, metal, mixed media, and wood, Crafting Joy reflects the artists' efforts to find hope amid challenges. “Sometimes joy can be that quiet moment when you know in your heart that good things may be coming,” said League printmaker Catherine Green.

Her work, like that of her fellow artists, showcases the optimism embedded in the creative process.

Both exhibitions will be on display Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the League’s gallery, located at 49 South Main St., Concord, and will be open during Concord’s Midnight Merriment event on Dec. 6.

The Arts Council of Tamworth will host a performance by “bard band” Los Lorcas on Friday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Eastern Slopes in downtown Tamworth. Los Lorcas combines the talents of poets Partridge Boswell and Peter Money with guitarist Nat Williams, creating a unique fusion of poetry and music inspired by the spirit of Federico Garcia Lorca, the Los Lorcas Spanish poet and musician known for his passionate works and advocacy for cante jondo (deep song).

Los Lorcas pushes the boundaries of traditional performance by blending spoken word with an array of musical styles, including Andalusian ballads, blues, rock, folk, reggae, hip hop, Americana, and jazz. Their performances weave poetry

Lorcas presents ‘Poetry in Concert’ CONCERT FROM PAGE 11

and rhythm, creating an experience that is both lyrical and dynamic. Inspired by Lorca’s exploration of deep human emotions through music and verse, Los Lorcas aims to capture that same intensity and connection with their audience.

Since forming, Los Lorcas has performed at events such as the Boston Book Festival, Harvard Square Oktoberfest, and the Massachusetts Poetry Festival, among others. Their work has garnered praise for its “cross-pollination” of art forms, with Vermont musi-

cian and producer Kristina Stykos calling their performances “satisfying” for their “blend of poetry, personality, musicality, and creative intensity.”

“We are thrilled to bring Los Lorcas’ unique blend of poetry and music to Tamworth,” said Arts Council of Tamworth Executive Director Julian Long. “Their performance promises to be unlike any other concert our community has seen, offering a combination of literary depth and musical variety that appeals to a wide range of audiences.”

Tickets for the Los Lorcas

performance are available by suggested donation through Eventbrite at [link], and early reservations are recommended to ensure seating. Attendees can look forward to an evening of immersive, interdisciplinary artistry that celebrates both the power of words and the emotional resonance of music.

For more information about the Arts Council of Tamworth, please visit www.artstamworth.org. Additional information about Los Lorcas and their music can be found at www.loslorcas.com.

New Research Sheds Light on Motor Tics Research Reveals Chiropractic May Alleviate Suffering

Recent research reported in the Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research on patients with tic disorders reveals that chiropractic may play an important role in managing these patients. The literature included supports the role of chiropractic in those suffering from the health challenges related to neurological conditions and calls for more research in this area.

“Research indicates that minor shifts in the structure of the spine may impact function, suggesting that these structural shifts may be a factor in a number of disorders. Structural shifts may lead to nerve obstruction and could possibly result in a host of health problems such as motor tics” stated Dr. Matthew McCoy, a chiropractor, public health researcher and editor of the journal that published the study.

Other chiropractic researchers have reported on similar results and reviews of the scientific research reveal numerous other studies that have shown a similar connection.

“It makes a lot of sense when you think about it” stated McCoy. “It’s reasonable to suggest that if you obstruct or damage the nerves exiting the spine, the result of the obstruction(s) and/or damage can have far reaching implications on the functioning of the body. Through research reports like this we are finding that correcting these structural shifts reduces nerve obstruction, bringing about marked improvement in people who are experiencing a variety of maladies.”

According to researchers the nervous system controls and coordinates all functions of the body and structural shifts in the spine can occur that obstruct the nerves and interfere with their function. By removing the structural shifts, chiropractic improves nerve supply and function.

In this case series a 7-year-old boy with a congenital condition called arthrogryposis, along with asthma and chronic colds, presented to a chiropractic office with motor tics affecting his neck. Arthrogryposis caused him to have frequent falls. His mother reported that the tics had been occurring continuously throughout the day for several weeks. The second patient in this case series, was a 27-year-old male patient, suffering from motor tics in his cervical region for 10 years, sought chiropractic care. The tics began during his high school years, which he associated with prolonged use of a saxophone strap around

his neck. Previous treatment with medication caused excessive drowsiness, interfering with his job as a teacher.

The chiropractor examined the younger patient and found structural shifts in his neck, mid back, and pelvis. He also had very tight muscles and restricted range of motion in the neck. For the 27-year-old patient, the chiropractor examined him and found significant restrictions in the cervical, thoracic, and sacroiliac regions. These structural shifts can lead to obstruction of the nerves and it is this obstruction, called vertebral subluxations, that chiropractors correct.

Following chiropractic adjustments, both patients experienced significant improvement as their tics resolved to recur only after falls or during times of high stress; and would resolve again after another adjustment.

The study’s author called for additional research to investigate the clinical implications of chiropractic in this population.
