A little south of folk, a little north of the blues. 2 Late Smart is a collaboration of Byron Berwick and Don Sinclair.

The Clements Brothers
September 22, 2023
7:30pm
Tickets: $20
The Clements Brothers are George and Charles Clements, identical twins from New England. They’ve been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember and ‘The Clements Brothers’ marks their first project together since playing in the internationally touring grass-roots band, ‘The Lonely Heartstring Band’ with whom they put out two albums on Rounder Records. With roots, rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical influences, George (on guitar) and Charles (on bass) aim to capture their singer-songwriter sensibilities in a unique blended voice, at once enthralling and intimate, groovy and serene. They are joined by drummer Mike Harmon, who joined the band after an impromptu late night set at the Ossipee Music Festival, and adds his unique roots-conscious musicality to the group’s evolving sound. The trio is a fusion of each member’s unique musical journey, and the result is music all its own, filled with vocal harmonies, instrumental virtuosity, and a genuine love of song.

Rusty DeWees has played his one-man comedy show THE LOGGER for 28 years, concentrating on classical town halls and theaters in the Northeast and especially Vermont and New Hampshire. THE LOGGER show now includes music, guitar and singing by Rusty himself.
Rusty plays his comedy through the character of ‘THE LOGGER,’ a raw energetic backwoodsman who is a combination of all that’s wonderful and wacky about the Northern New England spirit. THE LOGGER lacks schooling, but he has the wit and wisdom of the hills in his blood that he is more than happy to share with your whole family … if you dare.
The Boston Globe says Rusty’s show is “… inventive, entertaining, exceptional.”
Rusty has co-starred in dozens of international film and TV productions.
