Chris Trapper has become a modern day acoustic troubadour and storyteller, using his honeyed tenor and humor to withstand the test of time.

Sam Morrow’s new album is rooted in Texas twang, southern stomp, and old-school funky-tonk with his characteristic electrified, energetic grooves.

CURATOR'S CORNER THE NEW NORMAL: TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’ PATRICIA LYNCH, Executive Director At The Music Hall, we strive to bring the best acts and shows to the Seacoast. But as the world of entertainment and booking changes around us, we have to adapt our timeline for when we announce and put these events on sale. Now it seems that more often than not, we are announcing and putting new shows on sale outside of our usual schedule. As this is becoming the new “normal,” we still want to make sure you know what’s coming up and when.

Photo: David J. Murray, ClearEyePhoto.com

You will still find new shows listed here on the On Sale page of our monthly magazine (see above). These shows will go on sale on the First Saturday of the month as usual. But be on the lookout for drop-ins—events that go on sale outside of our

set schedule. These shows can get announced at any time. Whether it be a tour announcement or last-minute booking that makes these shows appear out of the blue, rest assured we’ll be letting you know, but enews is your best bet for staying on top of drop-in shows.

The curators (Thérèse LaGamma, Chris Curtis, Margaret Talcott, and myself) all work within the set schedule but remain flexible as more and more acts are asking us to break that schedule. As Thérèse says, “our flexibility and adaptability allows us to book bigger acts and attractions, and brings more diversity and talent to our stage.” Being nimble helps us keep up with trends and book the most exciting shows so we can continue to bring you the entertainment you are looking for.

Why do drop-in shows happen? On occasion, acts announce their whole tour at once, where if we’re not a part of it, you might not know until all of the good seats are taken. To give you the best chance of getting your tickets, we announce at the same time as these big tours. When we lock down a fantastic act last-minute, we might have missed the magazine’s deadline—these shows get announced via our enews as soon as possible so you can catch them in time.

So how do you stay connected and informed on new events coming to The Music Hall? Signing up for our email newsletters (enews) is the best way to stay updated. And follow us on social media for “soft announces,” so you don’t miss out on these little surprises. And, as always, visit our B2W Box Office often! *Check website for ticket package details

Hoping for Wild Success in the Unknown Future!

With more than 500 recording and production credits to his name, Bob Lord, CEO of PARMA Recordings and bass player for experimental rock trio Dreadnaught, knows about music. And although we don’t always associate constancy with musicians, Bob is a pillar of commitment. He’s been a member of our Board of Trustees since 2013, and Dreadnaught has been the house band for Writers on a New England Stage since 2005.

Bob is also a member of the 1878 Legacy Society, a group committed to ensuring The Music Hall’s continued vitality and sustainability by including us in their estate plans. We are lucky to have friends like Bob who are planning for gifts today that will provide significant benefits to The Music Hall in the future. Gail VanHoy Carolan, our Director of Institutional Advancement, has asked Bob to share what this means to him.

MOUNTAIN PG

• 1h 14m • Australia 9/29, 10/3, 10/4 • 7pm Only three centuries ago, setting out to climb a mountain would have been considered close to lunacy. Mountains were places of peril, not beauty, an upper world to be shunned, not sought out. From Tibet to Australia, Alaska to Norway armed with drones, Go-Pros and helicopters, director Jennifer Peedom has fashioned an astonishing symphony of mountaineers, ice climbers, wingsuiters, parachuting mountain bikers, and many more. Willem Dafoe provides narration.

That begins to change in a quietly dramatic fashion when Agnes receives a jigsaw puzzle as a birthday gift and experiences the heady thrill of not only doing something she enjoys, but also being very, very good at it. Starring Kelly MacDonald, Irrfan Khan, and David Denman.

BLACKkKLANSMAN R

• 2h 15m • US 10/27, 10/30, 11/1 • 7pm From visionary filmmaker Spike Lee comes the incredible true story of an American hero. It's the early 1970s, and Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) is the first African-American detective to serve in the Colorado Springs Police Department.

Determined to make a name for himself, Stallworth bravely sets out on a dangerous mission: infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan. The young detective soon recruits a more seasoned colleague, Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), into the undercover investigation of a lifetime.

Struggling with her demons and the consequences of a muddled life, she longs to rebuild a relationship with her son, whose custody she lost long ago. A brave and uncompromising musician, Nico's story is the story of a rebirth: of an artist, a mother, and the woman behind the icon.
